Top man No7 I assumed it was down to my technical ineptness. it usually is! I tried on an ipad first then a desktop PC but no joy with either. I was due to be pruning grapevines this afternoon but the chance of seeing some rugby seemed a better use of time. The desktop has sprung into life but nothing yet on the ipad. Wayne Barnes is referee and real quality with GT & Gary Graham in the back rows. ------------- Dont kick it. Pick it up and GO FORWARD. |

Currently Ealing 5-7 Falcons. GT having a cracking game - great signing by Trailfinders. Ealing right wing just scored in the RH Corner - difficult conv missed. H/T Ealing 8-10 Falcons ------------- Dont kick it. Pick it up and GO FORWARD. |

I watched the second half with binoculars. Just as convincing as the final score indicates. Ealing overpowered Falcons. Yellows didnt help.

Top man Gerg a full on Ealing supporter. The bits of the first half I saw indicated a close game and Falcons probably had the edge up front. I suspect the numerous "giving game time" subs had some impact on the final scoreline but absolutely great to have rugby played. The ground looked wonderful and I hope some day soon I can visit your cracking club again. The streaming was less than great but no winging in St Ouens - the spaniels chased noisy waves rolling into the bay down the hill and will be out later persecuting hedgehogs. Stay safe everyone. ------------- Dont kick it. Pick it up and GO FORWARD. |

The future for ambitious Ealing is less certain. They hope to restart the Championship, and press Saracens for promotion to the top flight, in January. This was an encouraging afternoon for Ben Ward’s team, with the only cause for embarrassment being the malfunction of a live stream that cost £10 for supporters to access. Ealing and streaming company Analysis of Sport have apologised and promised full refunds. |

I hope Ealing are not put off by the streaming experience as in the short term it may be essential for all clubs. The highlights are well worth a look: http://www.ealingtrailfinders.com/news/match-highlights-ealing-trailfinders-38-17" rel="nofollow - http://www.ealingtrailfinders.com/news/match-highlights-ealing-trailfinders-38-17 Belting try from GT who is surely the key signing for Trailfinders. Great to see Mark Tampin (ex Jersey & Ealing and a top bloke imo) get his name on the try scoring list. ------------- Dont kick it. Pick it up and GO FORWARD. |

| Surprised and disappointed by the attempted streaming experience especially as the quality from the Loughborough v Harlequins women's match was excellent. |

The live stream malfunction was a debacle that unfortunately distracted from what was an excellent game and result. The first half was only about 50% viewable and the second half was non-existent but what I managed to view was of a decent standard with multiple camera angles and professional commentary. Does anyone know how much approximately it costs to put on a live stream of this nature? With little prospect of a tv deal for the Championship (has the Sky deal now elapsed?) this may well be the future for the Championship but as demonstrated it is fraught with risk. |

Has anyone seen any reasons behind the streaming debacle? The trouble is, a lot of people will have been put off if this was their first experience of live streaming. ------------- RAID ON |

No reason given, but Ealing put out a statement today to say that AOSport had tested the streams ahead of time, but they also apparently failed to even record it.

So incompetence on their behalf - doesn't put much faith in them being able to organise a drinking festival at a brewery then. But, from a glass half full perspective perhaps AO have learned a lesson and next foray will be significantly better..... ------------- Onward and Upwards C'mon Donny! |

That is very true CS - I have availed myself of that facility. But you have to agree picture quality has at times not been great, a slightly more commercial approach across the board would be of greater benefit for all clubs. Not knocking pirates efforts though it was good to see the innovative approaches taken there. ------------- Onward and Upwards C'mon Donny! |

Also there is a difference betweenn making a sream freely available and conditionally available to those who have paid. It does add a lavel of complexity. ------------- Sweeney Delenda Est |

From my understanding there were 2 issues 1) Creating an account to pay (this was resolved) 2) The internet bandwidth at Trailfinders was not big enough (A bit like a plumber installing a shower and not testing the water pressure first) I would like to think aosport would have tested this as part of due diligence 3) The Aus v NZ game lost coverage for a period of time. Think of how much is spend on provided live coverage and even that goes wrong Hopefully all this will be sorted and tested prior to the next game The way I look at it, is Ealing like every other championship club knows rugby, we’re not an IT consultancy |

I'm sure Trailfinders and others will learn from the experience and it certainly wont put me off trying again. I hope all clubs offer streaming sooner or later and I would certainly pay a reasonable subscription for a decent service. ------------- Dont kick it. Pick it up and GO FORWARD. |

| We tried it for a couple of games, until the opposition wouldn't allow it ! As they didn't want us making a profit from their home games. |

Rightly so - the home team should reap that reward or at least take the lions share. ------------- Onward and Upwards C'mon Donny! |

Falcons 21 Ealing 12Friday 13 November 2020Leading 7-5 at half-time and sealing the result through Jamie Blamire’s late try, the competitive run-out was the ideal preparation for next Saturday’s Gallagher Premiership opener at Bath. The Falcons began the game brightly, Ben Stevenson darting down the left on more than one occasion and scrum-half Michael Young looking to keep a lively tempo. Ealing had the first opportunity for points when former Falcon fired wide with a penalty from 40 metres out in front, and they almost had the lead from the first meaningful line-break on 18 minutes. It took a splendid try-saving tackle from winger Ben Stevenson to bundle Angus Kernohan into touch, the Teessider making up some serious ground on his opposite man having been freed by an inside pass. Kernohan managed to enjoy greater gains on 24 minutes when he dotted down the game’s opening try in the right corner, collecting a long, looping pass from Willis after a prolonged period of pick-and-go down the opposite side. Willis’s attempted conversion was off-beam as his side’s lead was restricted to five points at the first water break, the Falcons finally finding some handling continuity as Tom Penny, Stevenson and George McGuigan probed inside the visitors’ half. The pressure continued to build as the hosts were awarded a string of penalties near the Ealing line, the dam finally broken with the last play of the half when Sean Robinson surged over from a close-range pick-and-go to the left of the posts. Brett Connon’s straightforward conversion gave the Falcons a 7-5 interval lead, and within two minutes of the second half they had doubled their advantage, repeated pick-and-goes seeing hooker George McGuigan ploughing over for a converted try. Ealing narrowed the deficit to just two points when replacement Jordan Burns scooted between the posts on 55 minutes, riding a last-ditch tackle to ground the ball – David Johnston chipping over the simple conversion. Newcastle probed for a third try when Adam Radwan ran from 22 to 22, his side eventually winning a penalty which was kicked to the right corner, a driving maul and a blind-side run from Connon eventually fizzling out as Ealing snaffled a relieving turnover at a ruck near their own try-line. The Falcons found the decisive score on 75 minutes after another period of red-zone pressure and repeated penalties, a line-out in the right corner enabling replacement hooker Jamie Blamire to score from a textbook driving maul. Connon converted beautifully from the right touchline, the Falcons regaining their winning touch ahead of next Saturday’s Gallagher Premiership opener at Bath. ------------- Dont kick it. Pick it up and GO FORWARD. |
