[Jurg]

Nobody scoring in a rugby match at Coventry

There is a chance you could watch a try shortly before arriving into Coventry if you're approaching from Nuneaton, as the line passes the Coventry RFC ground on an embankment, giving a good view of the pitch. Or you may see a goal if it's a matchday for Coventry United.
