Well worth it too: seven starters for Paul Joyce, with 23/42 bonuses.<br /><br />Samuel Cook got two for Selwyn, while his colleagues all got one each. 8/15, with four penalties. To be fair, they were doing exactly the right thing in going in early, and were just unlucky.<br /><br />Interesting fact: Warwick are the only team into the second round who have incurred any penalties; the other eight teams safely through have not incurred any.<br /><br />It's true to say though that I haven't been enjoying this series as much as the last. Still early days yet though.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06254840979557920582noreply@blogger.com
