Epi To Return


Epi

Epi Taione could make his return in place of Jon Dunbar as Falcons look to cement their place in the next round of the Parker Pen. We are only one converted try ahead of the French side from the first leg and can't afford to take them lightly.

We do have injury problems with Ward and Isaacson coming off worst. Jamie Noon also needed stitches but should be fit to play in a side which finally produced a spirited away performance.

It will be intersting to see if we stick with Hugh Vyvyan at No 8. He could line up alongside Epi and Richard Arnold to provide some beef to match Grenoble's aggression.

The tie is by no means over with the prize a trip either back to France to face Castres or familiar territory at Treviso in Northern Italy.

Sunday should be a feisty and entertaining occasion. Falcons have added a bit more spice with the opening of the new South Stand bar and a happy hour and a half from Noon. Ł1 a pint!
