Whitehaven's last six games:

Toulouse (H): Lost 34-24
Fev (A): Lost 66-0

Points scored = 82, Points conceded = 277; Average For = 14, Average Against = 46

The Dons will certainly be favourites. I'd reckon the bookmakers will ask us to give Whitehaven 12 points start.

On a separate note, I missed the Toulouse game due to my wife Carol's terminal illness. It's the first home game I've missed since January 2015 when we played Cas in a pre-season friendly. I'm not sure when I'll next be able to attend.

Apologies if I go quiet on here as I'm tied up with lots of issues at home.

It's at times like this that full match replays would be handy instead of the downright awful 'tries only' highlights. Whoever puts the highlights together clearly has no appreciation that a rugby match is much more than 'tries only'.

Family first everything else second mate i hope all goes well, as for sunday i think with both teams recent form a 10/12pts handicap for the Don's isn't unrealistic although Wilf is bang on with that unsurprisingly they are much stronger at home and any trip to Cumbria isn't nice so whilst i think we will carry on our form and win the game I'd shake hands now on a winning drop goal in the 80th min!
