No, it's not. But it's great to have that in the the locker, and it was nearly good enough to win us the game.

Agreed.

I just assumed Nsemba would replace Isa in the second half, but it didn't happen. Can't see why.

Really pleased. And England have two cracking centres in Jake and Herbie.

It is, but at the end of the day, C4 wouldn't stump up any money. As for 8.45 pm: presumably that was selected so as to be too late for the TV national (and local) news. Brilliant.

I agree the BBC coverage was very poor.

Surely isn't it exactly this kind of situation that the green card was supposed to sort?

We'll have to agree to differ there, Charriots. No gross errors, but I don't think he was good, and took the wrong option on several occasions.

7 for Hampshire, but only 6 for Miski?

44-18 Better second half. Onto good Friday Pretty much this. Scratchy first half, and poor as the ref was, we can't afford to keep giving away six-agains against Saints for being inside the10. Bevan much better this week. How good is to have a half who's a regular try-scorer? Apart from George Will...
