Streamed this from my sister-in-law's house in Finland. A great advertisement for Championship rugby and much enjoyed.

Sam Roberts , commentator was superb considering he was on his own. 

Agreed, excellent commentary.  Well done Bedford, a good win in a game that either side could have won.

Congratulation to Henry Peck on his game with Cov, not sure if he came off the bench, but it is always good to beat your old side.

Cov, I know we broke Jimmy Martin, but please do not break Peck.

Blues ATT 4,004. Or was a sell out although it appears a number of people didn’t go due to COVID self isolations.

Blues were certainly helped by the 16th man.

Fully agree a cracking contest but Blues half backs were exceptional and Jersey had no plan B if the grind it out in the forwards falls short. The yellow cards were critical but I had no problem with them and imo the home team deserved the win. Safe journey home lads and enjoy the week off with your families.
Dont kick it. Pick it up and GO FORWARD.

Another good entertaining game between the two.

I think the 2nd yellow was a little harsh, but was given after the 1st and an excited crowd.

As mentioned above the Jersey backs apart from 13 didn’t offer any real threat. Lemming kicked well but was not as attacking as he was when with the Blues.

Blues maul defence was pretty good and the scrum was relatively solid, with Jersey having the edge a few more times.

Sam on the mic has been a Blues legend for years, sadly we do not see him much nowadays as he usually commentating in the Premiership for BT.

Bedford definitely had a tactic of chipping through the Jersey line today, bit of air tennis went on as well, not surprising with the dank conditions. Bedford’s first try a strong contender for try of the week again, Jersey were much stronger in the scrum for 60 mins, I thought we defended the maul from line outs pretty well. Considering that’s how Jersey scored their try’s, that’s saying something, we were under a lot of pressure in the 2nd half, with 70 mins gone it was tight at 21-19, could have gone either way till the twin yellows put Jersey down to 13 to the end of the game.
A great crowd, we heard some Jersey fans too, well done them, always love a Boxing Day fixture at GR.
I want you all to line up in a circle and pair up in three's alphabetically by height.

It seems Blues fans can predict tries! This was the final one to seal the game after Jersey went to 13.

A pretty fair assessment considering the source, they missed out how many pens Jersey gained from scrums and how dominant in this area Jersey was 🙂

Would have read it if wasn't in such a large font.

The hard of seeing can always go 'CTRL+' but I tried 'CTRL -' to no avail
Squeezing the window helped, but still not an easy read unless you really want to read it.

I didn't - but what a pity
