Week 20 Fixtures

We also have a touring U11’s side over as well who are bringing 40 parents plus players and coaches, all of which will be at the game. Should be a cracking atmosphere

Pack them in mate for the biggest game we should see more than 2,000 at St Peter for a proper contest between the best squad in the league and Jersey. There will probably be a few more for the Siam Cup in a few weeks time but if these games don't prove how crazy it would be for Jersey to build a stadium for five times that number I don't know what would. Jersey have hosted numerous premiership clubs in the last few years as well as international teams and no one has complained about the hospitality or facilities. Ealing are the best squad in the league this season by a country mile but by luck and tenacity Jersey have clung onto their tails. Whoever wins next Saturday should be welcomed by the premiership and the rfu as a breath of fresh air and its their loss if they cant see it. 

Breakdown wrote: Drama at the end of Richmond v Cov, which could have been v different. Rich's right wing intercepted what would have been a game-deciding, try-scoring pass (to take Cov 24-13 ahead with about 3 mins to play) about 7 metres from his line, juggled it then ran 93 metres to score. This took the score to 18-19 in Cov's favour, but the winger, who was being chased hard throughout his sprint, for some reason did not go under the sticks when he could have done and touched down about 15m to the right of the posts. Still not a tough conversion, but Rich's very inexperienced sub fly-half missed it. So instead of leading 20-19 and protecting a lead, Rich were pushing in the last couple of minutes to get a winning score, conceded a penalty and lost by 4 points. Had they scored 7 on that intercept, they would have been trying to play out the last couple of minutes for the win, a result which would have almost certainly made them safe from relegation (i.e. a seven point gap over Scottish with two games left, including next week's now do-or-die derby). Just goes to show what difference a cool head and experience can make in a game. And a season.

The dread rugby fans astigmatism, all the opposition passes are forward.

Just watched it and probably legal in hindsight, if a little 'long'... Red card all day if Karl Dickson was reffing though.
