One of my great coaching memories as PG was away that week and left me in charge  I remember being interviewed by BBc Sussex at half-time when the score was close and saying "If we score next we will win". As I said it we scored!

Huckleberryermouth are crowdfunding their trip to Harlow - and possibly Twickenham. Which is why the RFU needs to offer proper travel funding to all clubs. |

Does anyone know who is still in this competition, I am finding it hard to follow, the only thing I see reported are when games are cancelled due to clubs not travelling?

How frustrating is that article it let's you read the first few lines then quickly descends into a heap of adverts !!! We are lucky to have the Knight brothers and their "old man" at our club and it will be great to see them on and around that famous pitch at HQ on Sunday , whilst Jacob and Reuben have plied their Rugby careers at different clubs in the past and returned back to where they belong, Joel has racked up 253 games for Hav' and could've easily played at a higher level but we've all told him he aint going nowhere, and he listened!! Apparantly the old fella was pretty good as well but I'm too young to know  The whole team have done us proud this season by reaching the cup final and finishing second in the league especially with the injuries to our pack so I hope they all soak up the day and have fun and fingers crossed drink a few pints out of the cup on the bus home We have 8 coaches travelling up and loads going up by their own steam so should be quite an atmosphere in the west stand " UP THE HILL BOYS" Edited by HAVANT TONY - 28 Apr 2023 at 17:22 |

Good luck for Sunday, Tony. One question - why is kick-off so late?

 Just seen the RFU tweet a link to an article on their website saying there are three women's finals on throughout the day

Very disappointed in the Civil Service there. But it seems like it was the RFU's mucking about again. Looks like they refused to let them register front rows in order to play. |

Fraught with danger letting the RFU organise a rugby tournament, I mean what experience do they have doing that?

The Papa John Cup regulations were drafted by the RFU legal team and all players had to be registered by the start of the competition. No allowance for injuries to front row forwards. What planet are they on?

Apart from Law Society RFC, what are the odds their lawyers have never actually played a game of community rugby in their lives?

Seems a perfectly logical regulation to me. If your club was drawn against a club in the cup which suddenly drafted in some quality front rows from another club, which had finished its fixtures, you would be severely miffed.
