Twitter tells me. Jersey kicked off at 2:00pm due to Bedford flights being delayed. A minute's silence was observed for those who lost their lives in the tragic fire. Currently, Red 12 - 0 Blues. ------------- Sweeney Delenda Est |

26 (4T) - 0 HT Bedford cannot defend the maul and keep giving pens away. Their 1 attack was repelled by the Jersey pack. Very 1 sided at the moment, but you can never right the Blues off ------------- Tackle Low!!!!! |

Don’t think you need to state the obvious. Haven’t been able to defend the maul for years 😂

Ok. Let’s get this right. Firstly, I just love Bedford. I love the fans and I love the style of rugby that they play. However!!!…., this was the most one sided game that I have seen in 10 years of Jersey being in the Championship. Bedford were truly awful up front and Jersey, rightly so, exploited this. Wonderful to see the breakaway try at the end, but if you want to be picky it should have been a PT before this. Quite frankly, I don’t care. All that I know is that is that we will go into next weeks game in the best possible shape that we can be in…… may the best team win!! ------------- Tackle Low!!!!! |

If Jersey had been well below-par and Bedford well above, this could have been close; but unfortunately for anyone wanting a contest it was t'other way round, leading to a 40-point hiding being handed out. Harvey B said it was the closest he'd seen to an 80-min Reds' performance this season. You are right Brizz that one-sided games are rare in this fixture: 14 of 19 previous encounters settled by 10pts or fewer, with the biggest margin in Blues' 38-21 home win in Feb 2013. We were in danger of being a bit too smug about the weather here. It was bright and sunny as forecast, but f-ing cold - some frost around at dawn, max of 3c and some firm patches appearing as I was doing interviews on the pitch after FT - pleased to have had 2pm KO. Commiserations to those who didn't get a game in. Quite the change coming for most of us now - I note Penzance is 13c tomorrow and hurling it down for most of the day

The Jersey lads were playing for a starting shirt next Saturday and on that showing the squad seem to be in a very good place although I suspect there will be at least 6 or 7 changes next week. Bedford have a brilliant back line but struggled up front against a dominant Jersey pack - it will be much closer next week against Ealing. Bring it on. ------------- Dont kick it. Pick it up and GO FORWARD. |

| For most clubs in the division when you go to Jersey you need your best front 5, sadly we didn’t, so was always going to be an uphill battle from there, especially with then a further drop off in quality on the bench. |

| I wouldn’t worry Islander. We won’t. It’s what makes Bedford so great to watch. Can beat anyone, but can also lose to anyone with a good front 5, regardless of where they are in the league. Bedford have never been the best travellers either. Enjoy the win and move on |

| From the Blues report they actually were quite successful with only 7 in 21 visits to their 22m resulting in conceding points. We have to find a positive somewhere! |

With Blues giving ending up with 24 penalties against it is always going to be hard against a team wanting to repeat things. I know this next bit won't go down well...
Perhaps it is time for a change in scrum laws on a trial and see what happens; so that free kicks are given instead of penalties. It still rewards the dominant pack with retaining the ball without it being constant reward. Scrum pushovers can still happen and wins against the head, I would still allow the penalty try from 5 metres out. It may solve the issue of constant resets as although still important there is less of an advantage from it. You could also still kick for the corner from a scrum free kick for 50m territorial advantage but then need your lineout to steal it, making it more of a gamble, but have the chance to apply defensive pressure. Only the front row gets a yellow card for basically being inferior to an opponent, you never see a yellow card as a Blues back has beaten his opposite man 3 times! |

No blame on pirates m8, it's what it is, an 11am inspection doesn't stop the team or fans travelling though, it is what it is.

Not good for the finances for either club. This is the second year running where we've had a pre Xmas home game called off. As you say, it's nobody's fault, but annoying nonetheless. ------------- *Stalwart |

Alternatively, you get coaches who are able to get their forwards to defend the maul and scrummage properly. You can’t change the laws because your team isn’t very good at something. To demote the sanctions from a pen to a free kick would mean that every scrum would end in a free kick. ------------- Tackle Low!!!!! |

Of course the standard Jersey reply. I also don’t think that laws were designed for scrum penalty, lineout penalty, lineout penalty, try and repeat. Blues were lacking their first choice 1, 2, 4 and 5, so was always going to be a tough afternoon. I think you aren’t getting my point… no other player gets yellow carded because they are being shown up by their opposite number. Should yellows and penalties be issued for players dropping the ball, being side stepped or missing a tackle… of course not, but why should you get penalties and carded for being beaten by a better person in a scrum? It will be interesting if the time limits on scrums etc. will have an impact or are they in now?

| But where’s the fun in that! We don’t want to see mauls…. Never have, never will. It’s become the standard way of scoring at all levels. I’m just watching Harlequins vs Racing and they’ve spent 10 minutes resetting a scrum 5….. I’m fast forwarding through it! |

I totally agree with you that the scrum does need to be sorted. The constant time wasting with re-set after re-set is a joke. And I am not keen on the current maul law. It legitimizes offside IMHO. However, that does not excuse sides at this level not being able to scrummage properly or defending the maul by constantly pulling it down. ------------- Tackle Low!!!!! |

Collapsing scrums are dangerous in a way that dropped passes aren’t.

It would be nice to see the ball go straight into the scrum and see if that makes a difference |

It is not that the front row is poor, it is that they are giving up penalties - which should mean they are deliberately pulling down or breaking their bind. If a back commits three illegal tackles, or throw the ball into touch three times, or was repeatedly offside, they too will see a card. ------------- Sweeney Delenda Est |

Depends how many people you want to return week after week. I was frozen and bored to death at St Peters on Saturday. The crowd was just over 1000, which is the poorest I have seen after many visits over the past ten years or so. The Jersey pack were superb, perfect maul, powerful scrum, but I would never willingly pay to watch that again, so I won’t be going next season. However, if you like that style of rugby, along with the ever diminishing number who attend such matches, that’s OK, but not for me.

| It's a matter of considerable regret to me that, in spite of the Blues and the Reds building up a good relationship over the past decade and a bit, with plenty of mutual respect and healthy banter between supporters, and some truly fantastic games, Jersey victories are almost inevitably followed by a sprinkling of sourness from some quarters... |
