Lloyd still one of the Locals getting gametime into the 3rd season

It's not right, really, to count Lloyd as a local player, though I suppose technically he is.

The Country Eagles team is announced with a video which makes it hard to post easily!


Looks like the same starting XV as last week except Kellaway hasn't recovered from whatever knee injury he sustained last week and Gus Roberts is starting at fullback.

Tom Cusack is on the bench which will be good to see.

Sun's out, warm day, hopefully the deck has dried out since Friday's rain. Should be a cracker of a game in God's country.

Is it at Tamworth Rugby Club ground?

When I used to play there in the 90's there was a stand that held about 50 people and the rest just stood around the ground.

Cant wait to see what has changed, live there for 16 years and have not been back for another 16 years.

Not a whole lot has changed. Still bugger all seating. There is a construction of sorts on the western side but you wouldn't call it a stand. Would have been far been better at Pirates ground, which is where the NRC game was held last year, but I'm biased.

Three late changes to the Rising. Little Red and Sefa the big losses. Engo to captain the side.

Yep, healthy turnout by the looks.



And said it last week, but the Eagles will win this comp.

Bloody hell, Houston is having an absolute shocker here.

Forward passes from us, Paddy Ryans hinging, Figg not being held, Leafa's not straights, the not back 10 that didn't get the penalty.

Margin is correct, but that's in spite of the ref.
