Round 5 Officials, Team News, Scores

Well presumably Flood will be cited and receive a ban,?

I quite agree, the on-field officials can easily miss the odd incident - but absolutely no excuse for a T M O.

Understandable how a ref can miss something in real time but absolutely no excuses for the TMO. Blues paid for not turning their first half dominance into points, but I think the better team lost. Falcons took the maul try opportunity they had, blues spurned theirs and that ultimately was the difference. As a neutral, that was dreadful. Multiple straight reds missed by the TMO. I got yelled at by the wife for screaming "Penalty only my a**!" At the screen when Flood suplexed the Blues player at the line. You watch Temm will be cited for punching Flood (Actually thought they’d reverse the penalty), yet Flood who nearly decapitated 2 Blues players will walk free! If, as you intimate, Temm punched Flood he should be cited and suspended - totally unacceptable these days irrespective of Flood's actions.

The absence of a big screen possibly had some effect on the decisions. If it was wrong hopefully the citing officer will sort it out. At last a truly spirited show from the Blues, Defences won the day on both sides. A real rugby game, none of this fancy running stuff!!

Given the conditions a decent match at St Peter. Jersey had the stronger scrum & bench but Notts lineout and defence as good as I've seen this season. The Notts Fly half was brilliant behind a pack going backwards but the Jersey half backs were ponderous and missing the X factor in the threes. Two well matched sides and the playing surface was first class. Clarey at tight head for Jersey would have given Sam Lockwood a decent game and should play a league higher next year.  4-0 in league points probably about right due to the late Notts yellow cards but 4-1 either way the real measure of the two squads imo. Deserved a bigger crowd but weather really naff. Off to Amps next week.

Horrible conditions at the BPA. Had it not been for the AGP the match might well have been flooded off. Had it been played on grass that would have been the pitch ruined for the season. Four of my five layers are damp through!
It was a win against a team who have given us a very hard time at the BPA, as well as, until late last season away. Not an easy win.

Yes, I know Nick.
I pasted the (copied) previous score, and was then disrupted by plonkers forcing their way past, and then forgot to change the Cov total when I finally got back to posting. Mea culpa
