Yes, being ex Army I know its bullcrap just thought it slightly amusing amongst all the sad news we are dealing with at the moment. My apologies.

Like this

Looking forward to tonight, should be a cracking game.

Ahh, didn't factor that in as we won't be requiring a football playoff??

The final is on the 20th June this year due to the world cup

Can't afford that AND Twickenham the following month?

Rumour on the other Bristol forum is that Kyle Sinckler is a done deal!

@CyderInACan I think Tiff Eden is in front of him as back up for the 1st team. Maybe he's lost his mojo, who knows?

I think Mads will be gone next season, hes in the last year of his contract. It will free up some more wages. I'm certainly excited at the potential of our 10's at the moment, just have to keep the WRU off young Ioan.

??You're right, i didnt read it at all??. However, there are signs this season that we are looking up rather than down.

I just had a look at the Top 14 table and saw that Brive sit 3rd from bottom, which seeing as they have beaten the teams you say they have surprises me. Although they weren't very good tonight. That takes nothing away from our performance though. ?

https://epcrugby.com/challenge-cup For those of you who can't get to the game EPC are streaming every Challenge Cup game live. You just need to sign up. BT don't show the Challenge Cup games until after the group stages.

To come away from Exeter with anything would be good?

The Quins game will be a great marker as to where we are this season. A win would be fantastic but I would settle for a losing bonus and/or try bonus.

No. 2 Joe Joyce

7 contract announcements and 2 kit reveals. Could be renewals, could be new signings. My bets are on renewals

4 games to go, 8 points ahead of Newcastle who we play on the last day. Here's hoping we don't need the last game to secure our status?

Huge game now that Leicester lost to Northampton.

Just been confirmed that they are opening the Atyeo. Going to be a big crowd.

It does seem a bit odd that they are opening the upper land down and not the atyeo. Must have something to do with staffing I guess.

Ooops that's right, Sky was last year. I think we will have the momentum from last year and the home crowd to turn them over. They have quite a few injuries in their backs, if the England injury list is to be believed. Really looking forward to it, should be a great atmosphere if nothing else.

And with it being live on Sky, which is unfortunately where I will be watching it.

16K now, definitely going towards a sell out

Good win at Leeds tonight. Although not as much of a threat as they used to be, not many will get a bonus point win there.
