Almost felt sorry for the sponsors, really.
The sharp end of the competition, and barely a flicker of
interest. A sparse crowd at Parc Y Scarlets, although the youthful home side’s
gritty win against the Premiership big boys from London Irish was, arguably,
just as significant a performance as the win at Franklin’s Gardens in the
autumn. All eyes on the training paddocks (or freezing “recovery” chambers somewhere
in Poland) as the 6 Nations tournament
approaches.
Bath finally perform. Against a scratch Saints side who faded badly
as the match went on. The LV Cup may be their only hope of Heineken rugby next
year. But if they’re in this form, would it just be kinder to let them concentrate
on the Premiership, and start to build a side ? The critics are whispering the
Big Question - Is Sir Ian’s magic
finally running out ?
