Tigers v Bedford Blues (A) - Prem Rugby Cup - Saturday 07th October 2023 KO: 3-00pm

Couldn’t work out average age, but some of them looked as though they’d need a letter from their mum to stay out late! They did really well and didn’t give up, despite being clearly ‘out-beefed’ and occasionally out- thought by the Blues.

I get the impression that this was Mckellars plan from the start of the 5 games, no matter what our position in the pool would have been. Allowing for injury the 5 sides will have been mapped out and always intended to have a full week with the premiership squad before Brizzle.
I get peoples unease at the side fielded, but I think if Andrea had gone to him last week and said it would be nice to have a home semi can you change your plans he would, correctly imo, told her politely what to do

If what I got from the radio was correct, McKellar did not even coach the team for this match. Suggests that the plan was always to take the likely 23 for this week away to train in preparation and leave the rest and the academy coaches to deal with the final PRC match.

I believe it was Matt Smith. Dossers lad not Doctor Who

Yeah I think with the first game of the season being a Friday it was determined that Sunday would be a training day, day after the game is normally the rest day.
