Eh hang on- Nottingham beat Doncaster a couple weeks ago without us being Leicester Tigers B team…(although yes before anyone points it out we did have 3 DR’s playing in that game- but arguably that’s a reasonable number) hate to say it but rather than looking for excuses maybe… shock horror….. Doncaster just aren’t that good at the moment? 
Just a suggestion *shrugs*

I think Doncaster’s problem like Pirates was after having such a physical battle with Ealing they both weren’t quite at their maximum and Scottish are benefiting from that. You only need to be slightly off your game to be toppled by most other teams in the league.

I think it depends on which Doncaster turn up. Very 1970’s France either superb or awful and no in between.

That’s a fair point. If you get a referee like yesterday who just lets a team lay all over the ball at the breakdown and kill it every time you get near their line it’s hard work. Donny were poor, Scottish were no better than mediocre and the ref was appalling. It was a terrible game. Donny lost the penalty count despite absolutely dominating territory for the last 50 minutes, work that one out as to who’s fault it was. Scottish were offside all game and should have had at least 2 yellow cards and Donny should have had a penalty try in the first half for a clear maul collapse when we were definitely going over the line. If the ref had actually done his job properly at that point it could have changed the game. Scottish played the referee and got away with it.

Perhaps it's a cunning plan by the premiership team(s) to stack the team that is playing a promotion ambitious side to make sure they don't finish top?

It's easy to blame the ref if you lose.

I have to say I have wondered that from time to time but surely not?. Mind you nothing would surprise me when it comes to the RFU and Premiership Rugby.
