Blues v Aironi. thursday night

what a treat for a thurday, mrs tooth is making toad in the hole for me and the kids, our favourite.

oh, and after tea, rugby. i might even have a beer.

ok, so the blues have come through the first couple of Hcup rounds with wins. Aironi will have a tough evening playing a confident blues in the schitty schtadium. but, but...

blues will have to play their best game and beat aironi, because if we lose to them it will take the wind out of our sails. aironi may only have one win so far but who believes it will be thier only win this season. they could catch a top-table team napping this season, i hope its not the blues tonight.

the blues team looks pretty strong. i hope navidi has a decent game. he always seemed totally outclassed when he played u21s. we could use another competative 7 in wales.

This is on tv?
A che ora è la partita?

grazie, compagno.

Will be watching this on the tv instead of down the CCS, unfortunately. Stupid Gym

Team looks fairly weakened

Cory Hill has to come into the 2nd row (surprised its not Cook) - With Deniol, Bradley and Down unavailable

Meanwhile Paterson has to drop into the backrow - with Warburton, Pretorious, Williams and Rush out.

Laulaula has dropped his form again and is benched

Mustoe comes back in for one of his few games this season - with Halfpenny and Cuthbert out

Ritchie Rees has been awful so far this season, this will mean Parks is forced to revert to type - so no TBP tonight folks

Navidi has only his second start in the league - hopefully he can follow up on the good work of his first.


Lots of experienced players about though - Yapp, Thomas, Filise, Tito, Molitika, Rees
