Alfie hasn't done any contact training and we might have to wait until Monday before he can do any. |
Alfie is getting better by the day. He's been training this week and both he and Martin will have fitness tests on Friday before we travel. We remain hopeful on both of them, although Martin's groin is still causing him a bit of concern, so we'll have to wait and see what happens with that. |
He had a bad deal. With his neck injury then his eye socket and then his back, but he's now fully fit. And this is as good as week as any for this game. |
He's now been passed fit to play. We wanted to give him a little run out yesterday, but circumstances did not really allow it. |
I knew I was in trouble when I took another blow. |
If you are winning with four seconds to go, you do think you are going to do it. But that's the way it goes sometimes. |
Last week was quite a hard introduction for him, but I thought he acquitted himself reasonably well. Obviously it will take him a little while to find his way back around around a rugby field, especially in a standard that high. This weekend will be just as tough and there will be a lot of pressure on him. |
Nat played very well. He looked hungry again and will be looking at Monday's game to get back in the team. |
Scott's making a good recovery, but the Bedford game may come a little too soon. |
We have a few guys who can step into the six role if needed. Brett has had a limited amount of game time, but I'd like to think he could step up to the plate if he is called upon. |
We're very pleased to have won the cup back. They (Cornwall) have had possession of it for the last two seasons and it's nice being county champions to have the Tamar Cup as well. |
You can't always run out of your half, so the kick game is very important. It is something we are going to work on over the next 10 days. |
You have got to expect those things when you are not at home. |
