Well, I have had to let it go. It seems that a lot of people were holding back on replying because they/their son was ill or injured and they weren't sure if they would be able to play. Some sort of bug seems to have gone around a lot of the touring squad.

Can I please ask you in those circumstances to reply with a 'maybe', as early as you can? It is just not fair on the opposition to have to cancel so late, we know ourselves what that is like. Not to mention the stress on Mark and myself, having to chase everyone down and try to plan a squad when half of the players haven't replied by midweek.

Training will be from 9:45 as usual: we have the bottom half of the up-and-down pitch.

See you on Sunday, if you are fit to play.
