Anyone watching the BUCS Super Rugby final, live on YouTube? Anyone interested in this? Think I prefer to watch this than Oxford v Cambridge, for no particular reason other than it seems more competitive, although there are some Uni teams who have little chance of getting to the final.

A great game, played in front of a lively and vocal crowd -- some might say, very Huckleberryly Pear! The low score didn't reflect the running-rugby both sides showed in the first half. The second half was played at a slower pace, but there was a thrilling, nail-biting finish. Durham had 2 opportunities to take the lead again, in the last few minutes. But they missed a penalty for 3 points. And with the clock in the red, they spent too many pick and go phases in the Exeter 22. I think they should have entrusted the fly half with a drop goal attempt. Some very talented young players and will be interesting to see how far their rugby will develop beyond university

Do you have a link to the team sheets for the game? I'm sure one of our lads is studying at Durham.

Fixed the link. Scrum half for Durham is one of ours, great player. Good to see he's keeping the rugby going.

For me, he was one of the stand-out players for Durham. Based on his performance in the final, your club should try him at 7.

I really hope he comes back once he's finished with Uni, purely for selfish reasons. We've had a good crop of lads coming through the age groups and going on to play for the first team recently, some good enough to be picked up by Sale Sharks for development, but I always like it when they stick around and play for our teams.

Unfortunately for you and your club, he's heading to Wasps https://twitter.com/BUCSSuperRugby/status/1514298621948178432?s=20&t=Ok4Ph4g9L67klg9wLYu10Q" rel="nofollow - https://twitter.com/BUCSSuperRugby/status/1514298621948178432?s=20&t=Ok4Ph4g9L67klg9wLYu10Q

I heard this today from one of the lads at the game. Good luck to him, I hope he manages to break through into the first team. Can't knock anyone wanting to play at a higher level if they're good enough, that's what it's all about.
