Deano won't be happy

Is he ever?

This could be a close game. Nadalo on the wing on a fast track against fast wingers!
Hope we are resting players and Potter, Youngs, Montoya aren’t injured.
In the semis I feel any side missing 2-3 top players against any team at full strength will struggle. Mind you the Wasps game could be brutal looking at the players they now have back!
First up Newcastle: massive game in my mind.
Pressure all on us! Newcastle a free shot at winning giving them their best result of the season.

Think Montoya will be his injury, he came back from injury vs Bristol 3 weeks ago (guessing from the people who saw him in a leg brace that it was a knee injury)
Towards the end vs Leinster I thought he looked uncomfortable, and for me given I think Falcons have a 4G pitch if there's any concern on his knee, a 4G pitch when we've got a home semi in the bag is not the game to take a risk

Thanks. I think you are right as Montoya did seem to limp off v Leinster though I wasn’t sure as I was watching from high up in the Mattioli Woods Stand.
If we are to win the semi and the Final we will need him, Jasper, Reffell, Cole,Genge and Hanro to be 100% fit.
First Newcastle though. Any win will do me! In fact any 4 wins now! I don’t care if we play ugly!

Tbh, so long as we win the last game we play this season I'll be happy!

Referee Anthony Woodthorpe.

TMO often had a part to play so the rest of the officials are:

Assistant Referees: Joe James & Wayne Falla. TMO: Hamish Smales.

No complaints from me here.

Referee Anthony Woodthorpe.

Dont think that I've come across him before, although my memory isn't the best

Having seen his picture, I do know him, it's only his name that i didn't remember

Surprised Smales doesn't get more games on the whistle, always been good when I've seen him.

A referee that Richards has publicly bemoaned previously.

With a bit of luck he might remember that and bear a grudge...........................................

[Pellsey]

Did the stadium announcer use to work in darts?!

I also forgot that Newcastle does not have a proper pitch. I hope there are no injuries.

[Scott1]

COYT!

[RagingBull]

Rough start for Ford

[Pellsey]

... And Wigglesworth. His passing has been everywhere.

[Offside]

Is anyone else funding that the PRTV stream is very dark?

[OakhamTiger32]

Almost a great start with Ashton just in touch before dotting down. A few passes going behind the man and losing the momentum but we look good after the opening 10 minutes
