It took several days to acclimatise to the fine weather and the inexpensive but excellent food and … Continue reading A Flying Visit to Cape Town

The sad demise Wasps and Worcester has directly impacted London Irish, which has not only had to forego five fiercely-contested league points, but also lost the revenue for two cancelled home matches in November. While some may be envious of the richer clubs that have been hoovering-up (pun intended!) former Wasps and Worcester players, our … Continue reading Your club needs you!

Last week the Supporters … Continue reading Programme notes for Worcester

The fixtures tend to be like buses, you wait ages for one and then two turn up at the same time! We looked good for … Continue reading Programme Notes for Gloucester
