I wonder if they'll have a warm-up game. They can probably have an in-house game.

I wonder what the plan is for Marchant?
If I remember correctly he was due to go back to the UK in June - but given there's no rugby over there at the moment it might make more sense for him to stay down in NZ and play NZ derbies.

Marchant is relishing being back at training after individual work during lockdown. His deal ends on July 1 so he is hoping to cram in as much as he can though he admits the non-stop preparation is unusual.
That's enough for 3 last games for us.
Hopefully he can convince Quins to let him finish out the season because our midfield depth isn't that great.

I hope they are in contact with Toeava. He was playing really well but Clermont didn't renew him because of his age (34).
There were rumours he was signing with other French clubs but I don't think that has happened yet. The virus might make a return home attractive

that makes me feel old for some reason
he left 8 years ago, after six seasons. And still only 34 - was an amazing player to watch. Just imagine what he could have done under Leon and the current crowd

There are rumours that Toulon is interested in Toeava.
I'm still interested in Toeava. Freakish for the Blues

@Duluth That would be a sweet signing. He'd still add quite a bit to the team, even at 34.

The wingers would enjoy playing alongside him. He's usually good for a try assist or two each game.
