Bayliss picked for Australia

FORWARDS coach Lee Fortey says Cinderford have nothing to fear when they go to London Scottish this week.

The Foresters have won three games in a row and Fortey believes that defensive improvements have been the major reason for the turnaround.

He said: “I know a few London Scottish players and I’ve watched some of their matches on DVD. They are beatable.

“We’ve just got to carry on playing the way we are. Things are starting to click and the defence has been excellent these past few weeks.

“People don’t realise how young some of our players are. Take Luke Plummer, he’s a big lad but he’s only 19. He’s starting to show people what he can do.”

* CINDERFORD’S commercial manager Matt Bayliss will be the citing officer for Gloucester’s clash with Australia at Kingsholm on Tuesday November 3.

Bayliss, chairman of the Gloucestershire RFU disciplinary committee, has handled many Premiership clashes and Six Nations matches.

It will be his job to spot illegal play missed by the on-field officials.
