Simon.....Richards needs two things to be effective....firstly his pack to be on top and moving forward and secondly the opposition to make errors that he can capitalise on and set the Gloucester backs moving. If we firstly deny Gloucester the ball and drive them into submission and secondly don't make errors in key areas we can win this game. OK, maybe no Ellis but Murphy is better than a lot of clubs first-choice scrum half. By the way, was that you coming out of the shop with dailywaffle on Saturday ??
Until he has had an arthroscopy the extent of the damage will not be known. Such key hole surgery will itself rule him out for six weeks. Let us not start slagging the coaches etc off until we are eauiped with some facts as opposed to hearsay and rumour.

its a real shame, and someone I know didnt believe me when I told them about the extent of his injury so consider himself told when he reads about it later.
I just hope he has a speedy recovery!!!
