Ravuvu try con Hayes

Plenty of time left, but if Bedford lose today it will be their third loss. When was the last time Bedford lost their opening three games? Genuine question, I don't know the answer.

One thing I can say is I genuinely can’t remember in my time supporting the club such an abject set of 3 consecutive performances. Sure, been some individual shockers. Even a couple of back to back. But 3 consecutive performances that can’t be described as anything other than shocking. Not just losing but the manner in which we’ve lost. You can excuse losing away at Worcester but we’ve also been battered at home to Chinnor and against Rotherham. Despite having almost all of the squad from last season. I have no idea what’s going on but a major reset needed and perhaps recruiting a defence coach from somewhere.

I’ve seen it all now - last kick conversion from in front of the sticks charged down 40-38 Roth

I called he was getting charged down. He’s not a confident goal kicker. I have no idea why he took it from so close, Rotherham were obviously going to send everyone. Booj should’ve kicked it or someone experienced should’ve told him to move the tee back.

FT Pirates 35 Ealing 33

What a finish at the Lane.

Final Score Roth 40 Bedford 38

Last play try for Bedford just to the side of the posts. Conversion charged down. Cue Bedlam

I posted this on the wrong thread.

Worcester came back well to gain a 45-26 win at Richmond.

Great, we’ve managed to lose twice today!

Is there a tougher fixture in sport than Roth away? They're pretty much unbeatable up there! I hope the prem let them in next season so they can humble the best up there!

Congrats to my friends at Roth. Taken to the Champ like a duck to water! Albeit a labrador jumped in the pond last week to unsettle things!

We may miss you in Nat 1 but glad you're thriving up there.

A general question to my Champ friends, what did you do to Scottish and Cambridge?! One win between them in 10 and Cambridge lost 100-0 today! Brutal.

Any Chinnor fans- how did Oscar Stott get on today please?
Thanks

Oops sorry about that. Made a bit of hash of things today. Ended up posting some scores on the Nat 1 board. Should know my place I suppose.
