Meanwhile Worcester's appallingly off-colour first game of the season produced a dire defeat at Northampton in which Warriors were whistled off the park - particularly at the breakdown.

The crucial score came when Tom Wood was sinbinned.

Once again feel free to leave any comments - positive or otherwise about the quality and content of the interview.

Also I'd be interested to hear what spectators thought about the way in which the ELVs and breakdown directives are affecting games.

dear brian,
excellent report on cov's match,
as for ELV's the problem seems to be each ref has their own interpretation.Cov have now resorted to speaking to ref before match to see what they want.Interestingly Nigel Owen on wed night didnt seem to bother with new laws just let everyone pile over each other as normal.
