London Irish Away

[Wayne Richardson Fan Club]

Motley bunch of officials...

[JP14]

Just remembered that Irish have moved from the Madjeski. Inaugaural fixture at Brentford this Sunday.

True but the fact they won’t be playing in front of any fans does inhibit this somewhat in my view. However I was guilty of really underestimating Irish when they thrashed us last season, in fact only seems like yesterday I was in a Twitter spat over it.

The Madjeski was like an ice bowl and lacked any atmosphere. Not sure how the pitch measure up at Brentford against the Madjeski.

So are they now the Not Not Nots?

By the same token we've been the Are Nots until recently!

Their new name could be the Brentford Nylons.

Dickson another example of a good ref gone mediocre. Expect a struggle, and a card or two for our forwards.

I understand Irish were never comfortable at Madjeski . There was a degree of bickering about grass length and pitch wear between them and the soccer lot a while ago. There should have been a fair few supporters too, a big catchment area The pub outside/ on Reading station, The Three Guineas, was an enthusiastic supporter and there were others in the town but they rarely drummed up much support. I think their brand of "Oirishness" may have been a bit off-putting to the casual supporter. Reading Rugby might have done better

No, everything has changed this year. Dickson has re-found his mettle and Tigers are on the up!

Check the citing officer, he should be cited for crimes against rugby officiating, can anyone do that job, Julian could fit a game in with shorter daylight hours..Johno, Cozza?

[JP14]

Borthwick hints some players could make their debut, so potentially be Bruin could feature?

[Grimlish]

Their new name could be the Brentford Nylons.

Meaning they are on the way down?

In that case, they should be playing golf...

[Old Hob]

... because you know they're going to get a hole in one.

With the continuing postponement of Fiji matches, when can we expect Nadolo and Kini back and ready for match action?

Yes, due in straight away. Doesnt seem to be any isolation or rest time required.

They have a 7/8th place match scheduled on 05th December at the moment so do not expect any internationals back until the 12th.
