Wasps v Glos Saturday 3pm

[Gloskarlos]

Frankly, I want to know which television executive looked at this game and went, "Psch, no! This is for a festive audience; Worcester vs Irish, Saints vs Exeter and Leicester vs Saracens are much more likely to provide exciting to-and-fro games where there's lots of tries."

Quite, not at capacity but there were 27k in attendance yesterday, atmosphere was great. Perfect Christmas viewing one would have thought.

How are these things decided? Do they not have to televise a minimum no of Worcs and LI games per season? And how soon before do they make the decision over which to televise? I assumed it was all done before the season started, not that my assumption is based on any facts.

Cips was a liability...

Eh?

Kicked 8 from 9. Only miss from touchline (where he also landed a number successfully). Tackled everything. Pulled the strings for the game with le roux and eastmond.

One switch off moment where he missed touch with a pen, and one charge down he got lucky with (though if I was him I'd be asking where my blockers were). Hardly a liability.

If you say so.... from the end I was watching at, he also butchered two overlaps in the first half, one right at the end with a wasteful chip through. Didn't tackle everything at all. But if you had a better view than I, or had drunk a fair amount less then me, I'll take your word for it.
