What chances of the match being affected by the weather I wonder - heavy rain forecast for the morning but a dry bright afternoon tomorrow, but unsettled today!!

The pitch is a bit of a bog generally, with that ditch running along side of it, but they do benefit from the help they get from the Tigers rugby ground staff based at their training facility over the road.

I expect it to be fit to play. ;)

Have you had the extremely strong wind that we have had in Sussex? Any game would be a farce played in these conditions.

It'll definitely be a wind "assisted" game - pouring down with rain here in Oakley at the moment and howling a gale still - the wind could be the saving factor in the game being on if the rain stops in time as it'll help dry the pitch out (forecast is spot on for here at the moment)!

Wind dropping and sun now out in the north of the county, 20 miles from Oadby. ;)
