A decent defence coach would be a start for the job criteria.

Why replace him? We have a head coach and operations director. An assistant (defence) coach is required

According to Les, we have 22 players on the broken or unavailable list.

Hoping Uncle Joe will give him a couple back for the weekend.

Seems we have broken a lot of props this last week or two.

I get the impression we may even see the Hond :shock:

..... nah, maybe not.

I reminded Les that Treviso have a better record against us at Ravenspan than in Italy - he seemed surprised, and will possibly make them favourites to win at his presser the marra. :lol:

I presume when you say we may see the Hond you mean that he is featuring in anither feckon video, telling us about how much he is enjoying his new experience in belfast and how well he has settled in....to his sofa.

Benetton are 1-3 away from home so far in the league:

Munster L 34-3
Edinburgh W 17-20
Glasgow L 37-21
Scarlets L 20-8

10 of the Italian 23 v Argentina last week were Benetton players including both starting locks and 2/3 of the starting back row.

They haven’t had it easy away so far, now they play the first really shyte team away. They will be confident.

Would be interesting to know how many of them were actually injured in a match and how many during training.
