Falcons apparently had 3 players in the bin at one point

I hate to say it but that would have been daylight robbery if we'd got the draw.

2 posts on here post match today. 30 odd on Nat 1 and they're probably all still in the pub. Where have our regular Saturdays gone?

Bit late but cracking game at Lady Bay last night. Had Nottingham pushed a bit harder we could have won. Falcons discipline terrible (down to 12 men at one point, I’m sure even Mr Mark Smith can’t disagree with the lack of discipline shown by the Falcons) and as for Dean Richard’s remarks that the pitch and floodlights were terrible- I was talking to one of the players last night who has played for both clubs and he said the pitch held out well. Falcons fans complaining that against such ‘terrible opposition’ the score should have been so much more but Nottingham were very good last night. Very proud of the lads and the sterling effort they put in.

Forget the score line in Jersey last night. I thought that YC gave a very good account of themselves considering half of them still had acne.
Their maul was absolutely first class (probably the best that I have seen so far this season) and they defended the maul well as well. Ball out wide was a different matter though. Jersey butchered some scores, so probably should have been more than 56-17, but more entertaining than I was expecting. This YC squad would probably finish in the top half of Nat1 on this performance IMHO. |

Sort of agree with Brizzer, but I'd have far less sympathy for Leeds - most of the Leeds backs looked under age, just as well they weren't on the beer after the game.
What I can't fathom is the Reds' back five selection in the scrum. All are flankers not specialists, so we have no genuine locks and no specialist number 8 being picked; Why ? And we have at least two proper locks sitting at home. Is Alex Thompson out injured - not been seen since about October ? I guess a flanker is easier to lift in the line out, but against Pirates on the 18thwhen chasing the seven points which could have won us the game, albeit against the run of play, it was unforgivable to see our attacking maul shoved straight into touch when 15 yards out from Pirates line in the scoreboard corner. Two years ago, the Captain was Pierce Philips who went on to the Premiership. He lent both ballast and presence in a dominant pack.

Ampthill 30 Doncaster 26, match report can be found here
Amps in control at 16-0 until a serious injury break (get well soon Ollie) after which the visitors stepped up/hosts went off the boil (choose which ever you feel appropriate) scoring either side of half time. At 16-14 the game was in the balance but Amps scored twice in 5 minutes to lead 30-14 with 18 minutes left. Doncaster came back hard, causing all sorts of trouble leading to 2 yellow cards for Amps and two converted tries for the visitors while men short. Amps played the last couple minutes plus injury time with 14 and, astonishingly, held out by stealing a last play of the game Doncaster lineout deep in their 22. Wasn't the highest standard of rugby but boy was it entertaining for the crowd, 8 tries, line breaks galore and nary a fist raised in anger!

Well to be honest CC the knights were not on form yesterday, lots of errors and some poor decisions I think cost us in the end. Kudos to Ampthill who capitalised on their opportunities and kept their error count in control. If there had been 10 minutes more match time I think we would have won because fitness was starting to tell. I look forward to welcoming Amps to Castle Park. P.S. my first visit there and I enjoyed it, nice crowd, suitable pitch (seen worse) the drinks tent was nice enough, loved the open air urinals.....

There'll hopefully be a Q&A session in Jersey in the coming weeks so supporters can ask Harvey about selection. But the perception that small/light/athletic back 5 players are being picked ahead of large hulking specialist locks isn't that clear-cut. The 5 players in that position are all within 8kg/1 stone of each other. Charlie Beckett has played regularly and is 120kg, the heaviest of the 5. Rory Bartle is the lightest at 112kg and the other regular has been Kyle Hatherell, 114kg. All the above are 6' 4". The two who haven't played much are not significantly heavier - Liam Hallam-Eames and Alex Thompson both 116kg. They're both a couple of inches taller, but don't think that's a significant factor given that lineout jumpers are lifted. Thompson spent time on loan in Nat 1 before Christmas.
Pierce Phillips was a great player, yes, and deservedly made the Championship dream XV in his final season with the Reds and at the same time got a Prem opportunity with Worcester. He moved to Agen (French Top 14) at the end of last season.

Nothing to separate the two sides at the moment. Scrappy game all round but that's to be expected in the conditions.

FT at the Mennaye Pirates 18-15 Bedford. surprised at how close Bedford got. I was expecting a comfortable home win. Bedford seem to be getting a bit of confidence back.

Just about to post that!
While I was checking I noticed that Quins battered Sarries. Odd result. Presumably Sarries fielded a weakened side, or do I do Quins a disservice?

Well done Blues, given a lacklustre season so far, a losing bonus point at the Mennaye is very welcome.

A much better result than I thought we’d get (hangs head in shame), we seem to be find some confidence at last, I’ll take that bonus point. Listening to, the very one sided, commentary we were much the better side for the last 30 mins, we’ll done Blues.

I want you all to line up in a circle and pair up in three's alphabetically by height.
