Ealing 21 (3T) - Bedford 12 (2T) - HT - Ealing came out on fire for the first 25 minutes, then fell apart. Blues took full advantage, with their second try almost sure to be the try of the week, and a thing of beauty.

Ealing 21 (3T) - Bedford 17 (3T) - 41' - Bedford were obviously watching Saracens and attacked Ealing at the ruck to force a penalty off the kick off. They then scored off of the line out. Nightmare restart.

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

Ealing waste 6 minutes with scrum after scrum to draw out a yellow card. Blues have no replacement hooker.

No it is a tight head issue, 1st prop went off with a dead leg and now the replacement has been given a yellow, when Blues initially were going forward but then went back. Now Blues go down to 13 again this season... joke!

Oh, my bad. I'm sure this will help Ealing, but I'm not overly proud of this tactic.

YC for loosehead of Bedford, no replacement, so Blues down to 13 as the have to replace the front row, got a bad feeling about this 😢

The 2nd game of the season that’s gonna be ruined by the absolutely ridiculous yellow card prop rules. One prop is injured. Another binned for lottery scrum decision. We’re forced to lose another player. It’s such a ridiculous rule that was brought in to stop teams deliberately going to uncontested but seems incredibly unfair when caused by genuine injury. I don’t understand how we could’ve avoided it? There was nothing we could’ve done to avoid the sin bin, he was sin binned for not being as good at scrummaging as his opposition. If somebody could enlighten me to what actions Bedford could’ve taken to avoid losing an extra player I’d love to hear it!

Really, in front of the kicker, looked level at worst!

Ealing just keep making mistake after mistake. Kicking away the ball with a 5 man overlap, or dropping the ball with open field in front of them. Bedford survive the 13 man sin binning with only 7 points given up. Manful.

Ref has just given free kick for crooked feed on uncontested scrum... One of the most ridiculous decisions I think I’ve ever seen given on a rugby field

Now Ealing early drive in the scrum and get awarded a penalty for it. May as well get the prop red carded as Ealing were exceptionally poor at making a 2 man overlap in the backs.

Ealing by far the better side but having a bit of an off night, Blues battling hard, possibly causing some of those errors. A good game on the whole.

Ealing 35 (BP) - Bedford 17 (3T) - Jordan Burns can't stop scoring. Squirted through a six inch gap from about 30 meters. If he was a slightly better box kicker, he'd never leave the field. Very good conversion from Shingler.

Burns such a good SH, really suited Bedford’s style when he was with us.
