You won't get a more fortunate win with LS missing what would have been a last-kick DG and then a last-kick pen attempt. 8 tries, and exciting, but you'd have thought it was 2 sides in upper mid-table not 2nd v 12th Fully agree with this but if you're not playing well its a huge bonus if you get lucky by scoring an interception try and your opponents miss a kick to win from in front of the posts. If Jersey play like that against Pirates next week they will need to keep the luck running for them given their mounting injury list. Scottish must be absolutely gutted, they played exceptionally well and will surely win games on that form.

Yes, but CC this was not a London Scottish Championship side that we faced today. If they put that side out every week they would be in the top 3.
The LS No. 8 is an absolute beast!!

Jersey didn't have their best day mate and that may well be partly due to the coaches selection policy but I give most credit to Scottish who played really well particularly in the second half down the slope. It must be good for the game that the big Tongan lad gets a chance to play rugby - he is unlikely to play ahead of Dombrandt at Quins - and that was a brilliant game to watch with 8 tries. I was at the reverse fixture at the RAG which Jersey won at a canter and was a total mismatch. I would much rather see a game like yesterday which literally went down to the wire. I understand the opposition to the present player loan arrangements which may well be over well used by some clubs but its giving cracking players a chance to play competitive rugby rather than sit games out with bigger clubs. Given the Jersey injury list I'd be surprised if the Jersey coaches aren't looking to borrow a hooker on loan although I saw Jack Macfarlane watching from the West end of the ground yesterday. Jersey's lineout was much improved imo opinion when Hamish Bain was on the pitch but place kicking from both teams probably requires practice!

Looking at the fixture run in at Goldington Road I can only see that figure going higher.  All highest placed teams to visit, also our ‘bogey’ team Richmond.  Expect a possible sellout against Cov on the 29th April, win or lose that will be a great end to the season.
