Ilione v his loan club. Any other Nottingham loan players in the Tigers team?

Nottingham looking decent this season, splashed some cash over the summer.

Joussain and Williams have been on loan at Notts this season. Woodward was on loan there last season as was Lewis Chessum.

Joussain signed from Notts in the summer.

He's played a bit of 10 before and it was trialled in pre season. He's a pretty good goal kicker. Not sure he's got much else going for him but it's a useful option to have.

It'll be interesting to see if Woodward comes on to 10 or 15 both positions he's been run as a back up option in training.

No problem with that Bath team - only Barbeary would be a first choice player; and he's been in pretty dire form this season, played last week as well - presumably hoping that he can play himself into some form (obviously, I'd still rather someone like Green starting with Treacy on the bench, but c'est la vie. OTherwise everyone is 2nd choice at best, with only really 3 contenders for the bench (2 of whom are getting their first rugby of the season)
Of course, I'd rather someone like Linegar at FH, but A] it's not like Bailey is getting game time for the firsts; B] Linegar is still at school, and C] Harris is injured, whilst these matches always raise the question (for me) for loaned players playing for their big boys club, or their borrowed one.

ETA: Hadn't spotted Coetzee on the bench, that's definitely unnecessary - getting plenty of game time, and in good form.

Exeter continue with their policy of basically picking their first team. Good to see Wimbush back.

Glaws strong too

Yep good glos team as well, that should be a good game.

23 mins in and Exeter have scored 21 unanswered points.

Good game for Exeter. Will Rigg looks useful. Neither FH has touched the ball much - odd.

oops

Fasogbon looked tremendous last night. He and Val R-R completely transformed the scrum contest. I know you've got to be careful with young props but this guy is quite something.

Newcastle beat Sale last night by a point. It all helps to generate some positivity.

Bedford 0 - 0 Bath
HT

Barbeary dropping the ball over the line seems to be the closest either team has come to scoring.
Sounds like the storm arrived just before HT.

Sounds like Bath have had a few 5m lines out, but can't catch the ball.

Bedford score first, on 50 minutes, but ends
Bedford 7 - 21 Bath
