Players playing while quite seriously injured include (euphemism for there may be more that I don't know about) Beefy, Naka, La La, Strudders, Dec, Gussie, Digby, Tofty.

Now I guess I should try to introduce some of our neophytes?

Delon Armitage, (pr Dylan) Very good footballer in need of more weight, and thus currently doing weights. Quite fast, well balanced. Wing or FB. A regular on the bench and has made some first team starts. Classy, on the edge of a breakthrough into full time ZP.

Nils Mordt. Nephew of the legendary Rhodesian Springbok wing Ray Mordt. Class seems to run in the blood. Plays 12 and spent some of the season trying to keep Rob Hoadley out of the team. Now being selected on a regular basis for England 7s and U21.

Topsy Ojo. Devastatingly quick winger, who has been turning out regularly for England U21. Not yet made his debut for the firsts, possibly because he is not yet yer rounded footballer, and can do daft things, but wow is he quick!

Ross Laidlaw. Plays 10 for England U21, and some say in a head to head with Whitworth (below). Only joined us last year from somewhere out West like Worcester or Bristol or er (forgotten). Good intelligent player who kicks goals.

Neil Whitworth. Plays 10 and 12 but has spent most of his career at 12, where IMHO he is a stand-out. Son of the well known jockey Simon. Pure class, but a bit small at 19 to be challenging for first team honours. However, totally unfased by appearing in the A team against some regular ZP barnstormers, and coming out on top. Dual qualified for Ireland.

Nick Kennedy. Lanky second row, learning his off-field duties in the Bob Casey charm school. Despite apparent fragility Nick (aka JFK or Nick the Ball) plays a rumbustuous game these days, and is our James Bond at the line-out where he pinches a lot of ball, including ours.

Adam Halsey. LH Prop - and a great deal tougher than his baby face exterior suggests. Adam made his first team debut start against Narbonne away and has been a regular bencher. One to watch for the future, and I doubt we'll have to wait for him to turn 30 before we see him at his best!

David Paice. Hooker, much in the Adrian Flavin mould. As he matures further he'll be pushing Adrian for the second 2 spot. Physically tough and combative (another Brian Moore!) but quick about the park.
