Team News! Here's your squad taking on Taunton tomorrow, welcome to prop Jake Bridges who joins us on loan from Coventry and congratulations to Freddie Painter who makes the step up from Oak and is among the replacements.
Contact the Moseley Supporters Association if you'd like a seat on the coach.
Hope the games on as we are on a bit of a roll. We've got some injuries but it still looks a strong side with Ollie and Ryan coming back from injury as well.
Pam and I are hoping the game goes ahead as well. As Beermonster says the lads are on a bit of roll plus the all important extra - we have booked a Lunch becausr we know, from experience, that Taunton put on a lunch to die for.
Come on Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosse
It was a bit nervy in the last 10 minutes, but we managed to hold Taunton out on the goal line to deny them a try bonus and possible victory.
Discipline an issue again, or at least the ref seemed to think so and pinged us for offside time after time. And Ollie Allsopp's YC near the end was stupid and nearly cost us the game.
And that was one of the coldest days of rugby that I have ever experienced, even though the pitch was absolutely playable.
Good result with all the injuries we have. Obviously having Ashley back has helped and Ben Morris is a top player at this level I think he has made a big difference. I'm surprised he wasn't snapped up by a higher club. Let's hope we can keep hold of him

Beast from the East, 2017 away to OAs was the coldest one for me in recent memory.
Info on England Rugby website suggests that Harry Butler did not come out for the second half, and flanker Simon Koroiyadi had to be replaced by centre Isaac McNulty. More injuries ?

For me it is a close run thing between the Friday night cup match at home to Rotherham shortly after getting to Billesley (very cold but thankfully little wind) or the home game when kick off had to be delayed against Ealing (I think) due to thunder hail.
What was the match (Friday night?) when play was suspended for a while some seasons back?
Seems there is competition as to coldest conditions at a match. I thought Billesley Common had a blue plaque displayed for "Reaching the Coldest Conditions anytime anywhere for rugby union matches in December to February". Pity if it has to returned to The Authorities
Remember a match v Henley away up in the Chilterns being pretty chilly. Etched in my memory bank that one. Not sure what year that was but ranks as about the closest to feeling hypothermic.

Good win on Saturday lads. A gaim of two he=alves again and a bit squeeky bum at the end but a bonus point win will do me.
And what a bunch of softies you lot are whinging on about the cold on Sa'day. It werent cold. It were bright and sunny all day till t' sun went down - a typical summers day when I were a lad, in the war, up North.
And if tha thinks tha were cold on Sa'day wait till tha gets up Ilkley Moor ba' T'at sithee - that'll separate t' men from t' boys.
Come on Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooose
I think there was a report in The Rugby Paper at the weekend. Can someone send me a copy please for Moseley Matters as it isn't on the club website just yet, and Taunton are taking their time over posting the result on their site.
