At least both sides are agreeing how strong a side to pick for the match.

Good to see sense prevailing and the clubs talking to each other to balance the sides - a development competition it may be but if it's too one-sided you achieve nothing. First thing I've read from Steve Diamond that doesn't blame the ref either.
