Obviously it wasn’t a 1st XV but still a win against a well drilled side who were very quick in defence in a very fast pace game which Blues appeared fitter (always helps going down the slope). Lots of big hits from both sides and a massive improvement after the last 2 weeks.
ATT was 3707

Nottingham v Quins looked like being one way traffic after 20mins, but snorts defence sharpened up and they scored 3 good tries. Quins scrum dominance and capitalising on errors made it a comfortable win in the end though. A really entertaining game.

Great performance by Blues, albeit against a scratch Tigers team. Optimistic for next season. Blues have a bit more depth than last season. Having 2 quality players at both loosehead and tighthead is going to make an enormous difference. Cam King looks a star in the making at number 8. If we can sort out the lineout, get Alex Day fit and get some luck with injuries, I think we should be able to compete for 3rd with the likes of Doncaster. I think Cov are going to be the “best of the rest” after Ealing this season.

I think the intention is to be the best of the best tbf. (Slightly tongue-in-cheek).

What kind of strength did Saints field today? It's kinda hard to judge some of these results.

Has anyone heard anything about a decision on how Jersey’s cancelled cup fixtures are being handled? Precedent seems to suggest that a bonus point win will be awarded to the affected teams. If that proves to be the case, Ealing Trailfinders are likely to go into the semifinals as top seeds. I bet the Premiership didn’t see that coming!

I saw a lot of Tigers fans moaning about not picking a better team to play Blues, as they will likely be going away to Ealing now when they could have had a home semi. In the past they have either given a 20 - 0 Bp win, but I also think they have stripped results against Jersey. I imagine it will be the former to have all clubs with 5 games.

I guess we have to wait until the committee meets, as usual. |

As I posted earlier on another thread.. Eurosport.com were reporting that the Prem cup rules stated that should a team fail to play a game due to "unforeseen circumstances" the result would be deemed a 0-0 draw but I haven't seen that elsewhere.
Seems a bit odd that you would earn 2 points for not turning up!

The regulations seem to permit the organisers to come to whichever decision they want. So if they want to deny Ealing a home semi-final, they will award no points. Cynical moi.
