Boys for Brive

Being brutally honest the second tier European Competition is not a place where we really want to be. But having said that a Thursday night confrontation against a tough Brive side - and a few beers - is preferable to watching clots make even bigger fools of themselves on The Apprentice ...

Looking forward to it. Brive will provide a physical challenge as they always do and I just hope we come through without any bad knocks and can continue our progress.
As you say a Thursday night game under lights is a bit of a treat.

Surprised by this selection tbh. I would have expected half a dozen not to be risked.
Obviously they feel the guys need more game time together so perhaps the team which travels will show more changes.
