The war of ... well no words!

The dust is just beginning to settle on last nights events ... it is becoming increasingly clear who the top teams are, the solid reliability and bite of the Sharks and the surf boy flair of Stad Francais. Saracens and Wasps are beginning to turn into shadows of the great teams we tend to associate with their names. We will hear from the Sharks and Stad's coaches in a minute. But firstly we are saddened to report that in a move more akin to 'spoilt boy' football coaches McTague, and seemingly Fase to, are refusing to talk to the media in general and Horizon Sports in particular. McTague is even reported to have been heard saying he blames the TV station for providing the images that allowed the TMO in the Stad/Saracen match to make the correct decision and call the Saracen try as 'not grounded'. After last nights match both the Wasps and the Saracens coaches seemed to want to blame anyone but their team - sad days indeed if 'God's Game' is to go down the same road as soccer ...

Jones, the Stad coach, was willing to take a minutes break from signing Stad Francais shirts in a children's hospice to talk to our reporter Rachael Wood so long as he could get back to helping bring a little joy to the children's lives as soon as possible:

Coach, what did you make of tonights game?

Frankly Rachael I was very disappointed in the team, we should have put the nail in Wasps coffin within the first 20 minutes. We missed at least 4 golden try scoring opportunites in the first half alone. Not only was it in attack that we played well below par, our defence was terrible. We made more errors in the second half than in the other two games put together. Let's face it their only score came from our mistake and all their other chances were as a direct result of our bad play. If it hadn't been for a few decent hits from a couple of players, and I have spoken to the officials after the match who assured me they saw nothing but clean fair tackles, whatever Fase may try and say, we could have been in real trouble. We really should have come out of last nights match with 6 points and I am very upset that we didn't. Training in the next couple of weeks is going to be very hard believe me!!

The match between the top two should be one worth waiting for ... the match between the Wasps and Saracens is going to be a close, possibly bloody affair - if we are allowed to cover it!!
