Rosslyn Park game
DIR By: Rothman2

Just wondering how confident everyone is about Saturdays game?
Unlike last weekend, it seems that the weather isnt going to
influence things, with only a gentle breeze with sunny intervals
and zero chance of rain as per the forecast on my weather app.
Would appreciate your comments.

I think the fact we're at home will give us the edge though
it'll be tough, I think the other positive factor will be our
strength off the bench?

Well, we know Charlie Mulchrone will be a threat, and he does
not always start. so the other 9 must be pretty handy as well.
I don't know a lot about the others in their squad; maybe
somebody else does?
I think we may have more confidence in our expectations after
the game. What we do know is that the lads will give it their
all and there will be a plan.

The results so far suggest a close battle. We beat them first up
last season at home but they thrashed us away. I think we have
more attacking threats this season and plenty of exeprience so
hopefully the shed can be the difference. A 5 pointer would be
amazing but I would be happy just to get another win. I am
looking forward to the team selection this time round. Hopefully
Bustin is back in the mix.

KEY THREATS
Its easy to say the whole team but Ive picked a few out,
including one we know very well.
Luke Mehson (Fullback/Wing) 7 tries in 5 games, Premiership
pedigree (Wasps, Exeter), lethal on counter-attack and broken
play. Tall (6 3) rangy, and deceptively fast a
momentum-shifter Roth must contain.
Charlie Walker (Wing) Experienced finisher, sharp lines,
dangerous in space.
Benji Marfo (Wing) High-ball specialist, strong in contact,
punishes loose kicks.
Steffan James (Fly-Half) Controls tempo, accurate boot,
ex-Cambridge promotion winner.
Arthur Ellis (Captain, Back Row) 128 caps, relentless work
rate, leads by example.
Ewan Fenley (Scrum-Half) Sharp service, links well with
backline.
Jack Digby (Back Row) Ex-Ealing and Doncaster, brings
Championship-level physicality.
and Ive left one of ex Championship players until last and
worthy of a little biography on his own
..

Thanks for all of that, Rothman; shows how tough it could be on
Saturday.
The thing I remember most about Charlie was his effectiveness at
quick-tap penalties.

From the Yorkshire Post: "Biljon, who has a few more injuries to
contend with for this weeks game than he would like." Good job
we've got strength in depth this season, fingers crossed.

We have a strong squad and I think we will win a close and hard
fought game. The shed will play its part.

Time for a Churchillian rallying call:
WE SHALL NOT YIELD SHED-SIDE VERSION
Rosslyn Park reckon theyll stroll into Clifton Lane and take
the points.
Theyve got form. Theyve got flair.
But they havent got the ROTH factor.
Well attack in the midfield,
Well defend in the trenches,
Well scrummage like thunder and chase kicks like hounds.
Well hold Clifton Lane boots laced, heads high, hearts full.
We shall not yield in the tackle,
We shall not break at the scrum,
We shall not flinch when the lines under siege.
We shall never surrender not to Park, not to pressure, not to
anyone.
And if, which we do not for a moment believe,
They think Roth will roll over,
Then let them hear us from the Shed:
This was our finest hour and were just getting started.

I think we get the job done today. We have a great squad and
home advantage. We have won something like out 31/32 of our last
home games. Fortress Clifton Lane to prevail once again!
