The man himself and I

- entry from February 19th this year

'Went to Kingsholm on Saturday to see Gloucester play Newcastle (36-12). It was a good game which Gloucester should have won to 0. Newcastle scored both their tries in the dying seconds of each half. Went to this game in the hope that Mr Wilkinson would be playing but it was not to be, he is out for the rest of the season I believe.'

second time lucky...

Newcastle Falcons team to face Gloucester tomorrow:-

15 Matthew Burke
14 Tom May
13 Jamie Noon
12 Joe Shaw
11 Michael Stephenson
10 Jonny Wilkinson (joint captain)
9 James Grindal

1 Ian Peel (joint captain)
2 Matt Thompson
3 Marius Hurter

and as much as I want to see Jonny play, I still want Gloucester to beat them and beat them BAD.
