No sign of 2MP.

I’m going to ceremonially melt my season ticket on the way out.

When he said age grade, I think he meant ones starting U not O (or VSOP).

[Flads]

Hoping to see Aaron Sexton get a run out, definite star of the future. Junior commonwealth gold medalist at 200m and only 17 or 18. If he can make the step up physically he is one to watch over the next couple of years!

Must be holding back Ethel fir next week as would certainly have been a step up on that starting xv.

Last chance saloon already for the Hond?

[Dave]

Dare I ask about Marcell?

[Tender]

Oh go on then, ask away...

Does Regan come steaming in like a 3.0L Granada and bust up the tea leafes?

[Dave]

Well was he asked to dial it back so far that he isn't even going to play any rugby? I mean he should remain injury free like but is that really the point?

[justinr73]

He’s currently wrapped in cotton wool.

I think we could be saving him and 2MP for when the real business starts.

We are just making sure that the one game we get out of him this season is at least a competitive fixture.

And there was me thinking it would be the season of the Hond

And the latest in our "Ironic Tweets" series: one from the official Gloucester account a couple of days ago.
