As an Oaks supporter I probably woke up the entire neighbourhod when Pellingrini scored.
What a journey in the space of 18mths. Still visits his mates here for a beer.

One of the things I've enjoyed while watching Pat Pellegrini at Cov is his willingness to back himself in attack. That try was typical of that approach.
We missed him on Saturday.

And on the Cov note. How wonderful to see the Cov 9 come off the bench for Tonga and then score one of the tries of the tournament against the mighty Bocs!! Brilliant stuff. |

Can we just all acknowledge that Coventry managed to draw two matches out of 4? That is a might, and mighty odd feat.

A very good performance by Caldy against a best available Sale Sharks side. In atrocious conditions not having the ball was probably a good thing and in the first half Caldy had a lot of good things! Sale Sharks had circa 85% possession and territory but apart from two line out drives book ending the half the Sharks couldn't break down Caldy's defence.
Time and time again the du Preez twins and Jonny Hill trucked the ball up but they were continuously smashed back. 0-12 down at half time became 0-17 at the start of the second period but if the script was for the Sharks to start to pull away Caldy hadn't read it. The introduction of Raffi Quirke on the 45 minute mark put more pace into the Sharks but as the weather improved Caldy had much the better of the next 30 minutes in territory, possession and inventiveness .A glorious chip in behind by Lewis Barker put Connor Wilkinson in under the posts to get Caldy on to the score board and it was game on. A few times Caldy were within driving range of the Sharks try line but the street smarts of Jonny Hill and the heavy weight Sharks pack stemmed the tide. Although the Sharks redoubled their efforts in the last 7 or 8 minutes and managed to secure the bonus point with the last play of the game, it was a messy and unclear score. The match was a feisty affair with numerous flash points as a defiant and physical Caldy refused to be bullied by their more illustrious Manchester neighbours. Caldy scrum half Chris 'Tyson' Pilgrim scrapping with the Shark's pack delighted the big home support and was typical of the fight within this Caldy squad.. A great competitive game at Paton Field

Fish is the starting hooker and the lineout v Caldy was good. I don’t think it was all Fields fault yesterday and Ampthill seem to read it most of the time, but agree it was a total disaster. Hughes wasn’t released, he wanted to go and have go at rugby league for a bit. The biggest issue was the 9 and 10 (2nd choice) game management was poor.

I would also add that Ealing is qualified for the semis now. Jersey fall out will help determine what seed.

Not a great performance by Bedford and probably didn’t deserve the win. Need to sort out the lineout before the league starts if we want to challenge for top half, barely won any all match. Given we’ve had the same hooker for the best part of 10 years and his lineout percentage can’t be much/any better than 50% during that period, I don’t hold out much hope. Not sure why we chose to release Jack Hughes.

Carved up by a pacey Nottingham backline today and a draw perhaps a fair result. I'm hoping the A Team are back in the saddle next Saturday...

No chance, although I'd hope Cov would pick a full-strength side for that one. |

Dang, with that result Cov needs to 5-0 Glaws next weekend to go through. Was really hoping for a full 5 to make the Champ win more likely.

Cambridge 17 (3T) - Ealing 47 (BP) - As expected, Ealing wore them down. Past 80.
