I'm more worried about the psycho chatbot rascals.

Playing teams like Surrey and Durham early on before the tests means their England players will probably be available .

Southampton women's are also still in the competition having beaten Brentford. However they are a round behind due to postponements. Their future opponents are Maidenhead and then Watford. Southampton are the only town with two clubs left in the competition!

Fixtures have been announced. Looks like a tricky start playing Surrey and Durham twice and Warks and Lancs. Depends on how strong Durham are likely to be. Anyone know?

All the teams have dropped points in at least 4 games so far (Saints on equal least).

Could this be Israel's plan?

Must be an election coming up.
