Hi All,

Going down there on exchange next weekend, any useful information on either team.
My experiences of refereeing in the South West has always been fairly good. It is always a challenge and the crowds are definitely not shy in sharing their opinions, but that is fun.

Thanks

Quinns, fighting off the chance of religation but have won their last 2 (over the same side) so now look safe. It'll be a tough match up front and the Quinns scrum is strong, big lad at TH is a handful but solid! SH is a pain in the arse, no easy way of saying that, sort him early on or he'll just get worse :wink: Quinns Capt is good to work with and plays 10.

Not done Matson this season, but know teams that have played them and they are an OK outfit, again will be tough, think the Capt is the 2nd row and runs the LO for them, which could be a strong area for them as the Quinns LO isn't their best part.

As you have noted it might be a little more "physical" than you're used too :wink:
