Turns out she was one of the students who showed us round her sixth form college when we were doing the rounds with our daughter.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13838851618718856932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-13143793868560408832017-11-18T02:51:07.234-08:002017-11-18T02:51:07.234-08:00Yeah, good fightback effort from Strathclyde, but ...Yeah, good fightback effort from Strathclyde, but the damage was done in the first quarter; a fellow blogger has calculated that they'd have won had the match started after the first picture round. That early sprint from Emmanuel was indeed what won them the match, but I agree that they did maybe ease off in the second half. An excellent early bonus rate too of 17/27, with Strathclyde managing 8/21. How well they do in the group stage, though, will probably depend on who they draw when.<br /><br />On Monday, I believe we have a Cambridge derby between St John's and Corpus Christi, a highly unfortunate draw if that is the case and evidence that the policy of filming second round matches on the same day as the teams' first matches needs some adjusting.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06254840979557920582noreply@blogger.com
