Always nice to see a healthy win for the Wolfpack! We started off our season of rugby with a comprehensive win at the Mennaye. It was excellent that the pirates broadcasted this match on YouTube, many thanks to their media team for that one. Unbiased commentary also a blessing, please can we swap Austin healey and Andy goode for the pirates commentators? I was saddened I couldn’t make it to the Mennaye for this game but Friday night on bank holiday weekend in Cornwall presented a whole manner of problems travel wise, especially since I live virtually the opposite side of England. Ho hum. After a homemade oven baked pizza and a beer or two, I sat down to scope out how our team looked after preseason and what shapes/lines we could cut in attack. The team was an interesting one, with familiar faces and perhaps ones we don’t know quite as well. Vilikesa Nairau (last season signing rom Coventry I believe) was starting at loosehead, Eoghan Clarke (who I confess I’ve not heard of before) was at hooker, a talented young wing called Fraser Rawlins, new signing Alfie Barbeary at 8 (head shaved, ready to rumble) and Max Malins in his original position of fly half. A feisty team with the ball in hand and it was good to see more running rugby for the most part. | TheSaracens.com : Unofficial Saracens news, views and message boards.
