...that's why they play the game. Still, that is abject from Ealing .

Never saw that coming or did I? Watched Ealing @ Nottingham and though, let’s say professional, in seeing out the game for the win they never looked head and shoulders above them for all the money and ambition. So fair play to Scottish showing that this league is alive and kicking.

Well done Scottish and an absolute shocker for Ealing. Also the surprise result against Coventry from Hartpury who Blues ran riot against.
Certainly gives Blues a boost, with the 1 loss so far against Ealing.

Down at Tonbridge J v Dorking today and didnt see the game. Unexpected, nonetheless outstanding from London Scottish. Well done boys
 Onwards and upwards.
(Ps Brian Tuilagi on loan from L Scots to Dorking and played his part in a hard fought away win - wished I could have grabbed him for a chat in the bar  ) |

For the ordinary purposes of conversation, a superficial knowledge of many things goes further than an intimacy with one or two.

Result of Bedford Caldy going to disputes committee on Tuesday… Rumours are that pitch passed inspection but Caldy players refused to play. At the very least, they can pay for our travel if game rearranged…

I was debating going today but pleased I didn’t! At least if the game went ahead the Caldy players would have kept warm running about. I saw on Twitter a few of the players went on the supporters coach to say thanks for coming and they wanted to play.

Well a bit of a shock weekend- hopefully the Knights can get one over on the Pirates (against recent years form Pirates have been rock solid at home against us)

Onward and Upwards C'mon Donny!

Maybe Ealing underestimated that the 10 DRs and 2 of the loanees today are vying for starting berths at Quins. The 3rd Loanee was from the Lions (Level 7) just on the bench to make up the numbers I assume and tick the front row box.
Either way bit of a slip and full marks to the LS players who got a game today

Amazing what a part time team that costs peanuts with great team spirit can achieve.  Better that than spending a fortune on a team to just watch it go puff and no longer be around causing every team in the Championship this season to financially lose out by having to sit out two weekends. |

Clearly not strong enough to beat a part time team. How much did that side cost to take the field today!!!

Statement from Caldy, LINK
regrets 'any inconvenience caused'. Well if I'd got up at, say, 6am and left home an hour later to catch a 7.30 supporters' coach from Goldington Road, gone all the way to Caldy and then no game had taken place, I'd class that as a certain amount of 'inconvenience'... interesting to see if there's any fall-out from this: if the home club can show that the weather was much worse than forecast, that might count in their favour. but if they were just over-optimistic then there might be a ruling about paying travel expenses for the rearranged game. i see on twitteX that at one stage KO was put back from 2 to 2.15pm: chances of a frozen pitch thawing out at that time of day, in December, must be pretty remote... well done LS & Hartpury on wins today

Pirates played at Caldy last season in an absolute blizzard. No reticence discernible from the home side then.

As mentioned the fixture will be reviewed at the Disputes Committee on Tuesday, 5 December, to confirm the outcome of the game.

I have absolutely nothing against the Ealing Trailfinders or Coventry, but I do think it is so refreshing for the league on the whole when the so called “bottom six” clubs beat the so called “top six” clubs. Well done London Scottish, and especially well done Hartpury. Who could have seen that coming!

Great results for London Scottish and Hartpury ....... it's almost like a real league isn't it :-)
Confused about the Caldy v Bedford game and next steps. Caldy statement talks about rescheduling, but the Championship Rugby twitter post suggests the Disputes Committee will decide the result. Presumably both can't be true, so anyone know what the rule actually is? It would seem daft, in an already "fixture light" season, not to re-arrange the game .... after all that's what we all actually want to see not the rugby equivalent of the "pools panel".

One question is whether Caldy correctly followed protocols? Was the pitch inspected on Friday, and if so, was there a reasonable prospect of play? If not, then Caldy could be liable to pay Bedford's travel costs.

What I’ve seen, but whether it’s true
Caldy announced the game was on Blues were ready to play and were training on the pitch Referee had declared the pitch fit Some Caldy players refused to play
