Pretty sure that's at least 5 tries we've missed. 2 forward passes. 2 knocked on over the try line. And one not passed when he should have 2 on 1. Shame.

Just got home from Welford Road.
Good work out v a spirited Candy side.
Lots to work on:
not spilling the ball so much
when running out of defence take the ball further forward instead of passing before any opposition get anywhere near
scrum struggled to begin with
Hassell Collins, Chessum and Shilcock best players in a poor first half
Atkinson added urgency and some great attacking lines
Powel also good in the second half as we’re the replacement props
Ilione looks promising but I didn’t feel as well as I’d seen him in last years games
Wasn’t sure about Mike Williams and I’m still not: hope he proves me wrong.
Sale away will give us a better idea of how the squad is shaping up.
Those fans who turned up: well done and let’s hope lots more turn up from now on. The game is in crisis and all clubs need their supporters to get along.

Coventry: any win v Sarries is to be hugely congratulated.
Exeter thrashed a very inexperienced Bristol.

I hope the idea of having Championship Clubs in the Cup is a long term arrangement.
France is strong due to two very good leagues.
Over time in England the Cup could give Championship teams a chance to be in the spotlight and to let them develop into more competitive squads.
