Cleavers controversy

"Jesus decided on the morning of the race to let novices use cleavers! I think this is fundamentally bad and they were well out of order and I reckon most people agreed. Notably, the only 3 crews who used them, Jesus 1M, Jesus 1W and Homerton 1M did really well. Hmmm." - Rich in the Captain's book.
