That was a bit different. That was a fixture that would have gone ahead anyway (vs Barbarians) but was reclassified as a Testimonial rather than a friendly.
The ABC club, Westy, Hamilton and the other players who have had testimonial seasons since 2000 have all gone without testimonial matches.
Matt Poole's testimonial Sevens tournament was one of the best things the club has ever organised. A great day out well organised. Though Pooley was severely shown to not be a Sevens player!!
My f-i-l has just told me that leon lloyd's testimonial will be a rematch with original players of a cup final in 96 between bath and tigers - anyone else heard this? Would be a belter of a game.....

There's a thread on it which quotes an article from the Mercury. Does look like a cracker. Better still if they turn out in replica 1996 jerseys - they should produce a good load of them and sell them through the shop - I'd have some of that. Go on Leon - you know you want to!
