CALVISANO:

Honestly I know nothing of this side, a quick google oft their results doesn't look good though, and from all the talk by other fans I don't think they'll be expecting much from this game.

HARLEQUINS:

Harlequins will expect back to back try bonus point wins out of these fixtures, biggest question will be who'll be rotated and can every one come through unscathed. With the injuries to the backrow that we've sustained not sure if we'll play our strongest outfit there or wrap them in cotton wool.

Calvisano have (a) an excellent stadium name and (b) an awesome club logo and for both of these things, Moral Victory is already definitely assured.

Which may go some way to mitigating against the 60 point tonking that they're going to be handed by Quins.

The emblem is very good! But what is it? One of the ninjas from mortal kombat?

Any cheers as always GC, your skills of editing are superb.








Just get some photos in too...

The emblem takes me back to watching Jason and the Argonauts at Christmas when I was 10 or so.

So I think what I'm saying is that I'm scared of it:

  

Ah, Ray Harryhausen at his best, the resemblance is uncanny!

Fortunately, it implies that they have an Achilles Heel. Though I hope the crowd have brought heavy raingear.

Like full plate rather then mail?

I was thinking more NBC suits, given the stuff that pours out of Talos in the movie!

I don't think they had nbc gear circa 700 bce

No, but Calvisano supporters could probably bribe an Italian soldier to give them his.

This is already the best thread I have seen for some time. Presumably you could cut off O'Shea's bomb shaped head and it show it to the Italians, after which they would turn to stone.

No, that would be Luke Wallace or Marland Yarde - COS doesn't have the hair for it
