Be interesting to see what Tigers do. Last year it was widely considered to have been a mistake to go into the Bristol game "cold" with a week off after the earlier Prem Cup games. So we may bring back Liebenberg, Cracknell, Wells, et al to knock off any rust pre-Sale the week after. Or we might continue with picking the extremely young sides selected so far.

Has Cheika gone back to Oz for a month? Or is he doing media work?

| Who knows? I didn't spot him at Welford Road at the last match, but Ben Youngs referenced speaking to him this week on his podcast, so he is at Oval Park now at least. |

Is Cheika missing in action? (I haven't watched any of this competition) If so in previous years haven't Premiership head coaches handed the reins to assistant coaches?

| Yes Tigers have done it several times over the past 10 years (with fairly mixed results on the field, and no significant success in terms of developing coaches to take over as head coach). |

Good luck to both sides - great initiative. Just read a decent BBC preview, which mentions Sara Cox is reffing the game... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/articles/c0mzpxmgl9eo" rel="nofollow - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/articles/c0mzpxmgl9eo I'll go 5-2 in hosts' favour

Nice to actually have a game of rugby to watch at Chinnor this season ! Chinnor fielded an experimental side and a full strength Cambridge side had the edge for large parts of the game, but errors led to four tries for Chinnor, and their line-out rarely functioned. All to play for in the second leg ! Here is the match report for anyone interested https://fatbearssportingdiaries.blogspot.com/2024/11/chinnor-33-24-cambridge-att-1442-202425.html" rel="nofollow - https://fatbearssportingdiaries.blogspot.com/2024/11/chinnor-33-24-cambridge-att-1442-202425.html

Cov Rugby v Northampton, mouth watering prospect. Alex Rae & the squad will be well up for it !  Likely to be close to a sell out & if so another BPA ground record. ------------- John Butler |

I saw somewhere, recently, that around 3000 had sold, and having just had a random scan around the website's ticket selector, I didn't find a single seat coming up as 'available'. I'm guessing there's still good standing availability, but I would also guess that people will need to be pretty quick, and turning up ticketless on the day may be fraught. It's a shame that the City are at home as there are many who support both clubs. The CBSA kick-off is early, mind, so there may be some who try to do both games, so I hope they have secured tickets to avoid disappointment as they only have around 30 minutes at best to get the three miles or so from the CBSA to the BPA in post-match chaos! ------------- Our Club |
