Greetings Rugby fans from around the world and beyond.
Week 2 of the 6 Nations is but a side show, an entree as it were for the main course that is National 1 Rugby.
Moving into the business end of the season now and still all to play for. Both Rams and Richmond played on the rest weekend last week, with differing fortunes. Richmond got their 5 pointer at bottom club Darlington MP last week which was what they needed on the heels of a comprehensive defeat at Sale FC the week before. However, Rams followed suit by also falling to Sale FC, albeit in a very close game. Roth had the weekend off last week having gained an impressive win at Dings Crusaders last time out, which considering the loss of fly half Rob Povey after 35 minutes and replaced by Zac Poole, whose regular position is second/ back row, demonstrates the flexibility of the team.
The seven games taking place later today, in order of kickoff time are as follows:
14:00
|
Rotherham Titans v Leicester Lions
|
14:30
|
Sedgley Park v Birmingham Moseley
|
15:00
|
Blackheath v Plymouth Albion

15:00

Rams v Bishops Stortford
|
15:00
|
Richmond v Dings Crusaders
|
15:00
|
Rosslyn Park v Sale FC

Some very interesting match ups again this week. Titans field a couple of new signings in prop Eoin Harrison formerly of Darlington MP, who actually played against Roth in both games earlier this season. The second new signing is wing Calum Barrett who adds even more pace in the backs. Team news for Roth can be found here:

The weather in South Yorkshire doesn’t seem too great with cold temperatures with a stiff breeze/blustery and rainy conditions possible which could make it feel even colder than it actually will be, maybe making flowing Rugby difficult, but what do I know?
As always, good luck to all teams and updates will follow from 2pm on this thread.
