Heineken rugby pulls up a lot of surprises, it's testing for all and we're not downhearted,

The testing is something we accept and we don't have a problem doing it because it proves things, doesn't it?

We have a senior dominated group and we are not expecting a lot of surprises. The key to our success this year will be based on how our four through six runners perform. All of the runners have been training on their own this summer and have done a good job keeping us informed of their progress.

Having three fixtures over the course of a week means you have to play your squad and this often results in having to face teams who are without these pressures,

We gave Richard a run on the wing and he did very well.

It's going to be a big call whether Gavin is going to be involved.
