I don’t know for sure, but can’t recall bottom beating top at a meaningful stage of the season (possibly it’s happened in 2nd or 3rd round but wouldn’t count that).Reds v Ealing shaping up as a great contest, but it’s a LONG way off & the idea that both sides can win out for rounds 12-20 inc, setting up a title/decider, seems fanciful to me. Both will face some tough tests before then & the Reds don’t have to look far ahead for such a game: away in front of a pumped-up crowd on the artificial turf at the Butts next Sat, taking on a team who’ve won 8/11 & are only 1 place, 2 wins & 8 points behind the Reds - I dare say Cov might just be up for it. 

And 28th Jan Jersey come to The Mennaye!

Exactly Stalwart - Reds’ remaining away games are Cov, Pirates, Donny, ‘Mond & Blues… piece of cake!! 

This is the whole point. This is why we love rugby and sport in general. It is so unpredictable and exciting. 
This weekend Caldy beat the 100% league leaders and in other news Stevenage won at Aston Villa in the FA Cup.
The powers that be at the RFU have got to realise that there is serious talent and excitement outside of the PL. Exploit it properly (and I mean promote etc.) distribute fairly (by that we all understand that the PL should get the lion’s share, but not all of it) and the paying public will come back and watch this awesome sport. So sad that they can’t see this!
