Can some one give me the lowdown on cuthbert? I know he came in for a load of stick in recent years but I didn't really watch him closely? I'm guessing he doesn't have the silkiest hands but can still bosh it up the middle pretty well?

A strong looking Wanderers team sees Naiyaravoro into the action. I do hope we play him on Friday. Hopefully Dingwall had a stormer and displaces Burrell from the first team this season. Yet to see anything of Kellaway.

I hope that Walker just wasn't fully fit for Saturday and he'll be back in the XXIII soon enough, I think he's our best outside back.

I always thought this guy was a guaranteed top Prem and probable test player. Ah, well.

That Saints team is perhaps taking the son of thing too far, it's almost Norfolk like for keeping it in the family

Aye, that's what I'm hoping will happen. It's not like he really lacks match fitness at the moment.

I can select it on freeview but it always cuts out saying the signal is too weak.

18-19 Saints win.

Thought Saints would trash us though.

Quins won 61-14.

Ibitoye and Walker combining nicely apparently, while Kenningham had a good game from 7.

Exe won 47-24. Decent enough game. Exe a little too strong up front and better organised. Both 7's were good but Lawday stood out as the games best player.

Yes you do (in theory), but it arrives hidden. In the guide, use the yellow button to hide/unhide channels and unlock it.

I tried to say h it as-li e whilst for was recording and it simply failed - dunno why yet, and don't particularly care.

Highlights are up. Some very nice tries in there, although fair to say the Gloucester tackling looked half-hearted to say the least.

Kenningham’s tries were decent efforts. He’s one of the players Gustard praised in preseason so might be one to watch.

Any news on Jack Maunder? I see his brother Sam is in there with Joe Snow on the bench. I haven’t seen anything about Jack for ages. I know he picked up an injury but I don’t remember it being as serious as it seems to be.

The Glos tackling was poor. But I thought Gabs looked good and it was a good sign that Walker came off relatively early. Hopefully he'll be back in the 23 soon.

I don't either on my BT TV, and it isn't in the list of hidden/unhidden channels. No idea how to get it on there

Then fuck knows, sorry

He’s fine and fully fit I believe. Was due to play for the Braves team but wasn’t risked because Nic White has a foot injury and will be out for a month or so.

Without wanting to wish injury on anyone, that's good news for England. Hopefully Jack will be able to shove Townsend out of the way and make himself hard to displace while White's out of the picture.
