Budge Pountney - Narbonne

November has been disappointing, frustrating and, to be honest, fairly irritating, and I reckon everyone here at Franklin’s Gardens would agree with my sentiments. We have let too many games slip by us all month and it is about time we reacted to that and got it sorted. The players and coaches are all aware of this and have been doing extraordinary amounts of physical and mental work and I honestly feel that work is just beginning to pay off.

The forwards made a considerable move forward in the last two weeks and will look to build on their new found confidence and spirit and I believe that they will do that today.

And as we all know, with good quality ball, the backline is one of the most potent in the Premiership and will thrive on quick good quality possession.

I think you will all agree that Leicester had greater patience last weekend especially in the two tries where they really had to work for it and that is something we need to emulate as much as we can.

And what can you do for us? Well, that is pretty simple. Support the players through this tough patch and they will come good for you. Take the opportunity to get your support in early especially through the warm up where there is ample time to let the players know you are willing them on from start to finish.

If we are going to make this into a fortress then we need to perform and we need you to help us. It is a bit like the Chicken and the Egg story – what comes first and all that, but really one cannot happen without the other.

Come on you Jimmies.
