For e well uh good morning and uh a warm welcome to Kings home stadium here in uh gler ship the uh sun is peeking through the clouds as we set a dawn this uh under 18s League finals day and uh here’s your lineup you better get comfy
On your sofas because we have a lot of ageg grade rugby to get through this afternoon and I imagine from start to finish there will be a lot to get your teeth stuck into we kick off this morning uh with the 11th Place playoff game um it is Yorkshire rugby Academy
Versus harle quin’s uh we’ve got London South Central Midland Central after that Leicester tigers against Bristol Bears Gloucester uh the homeside against the traveling Falcons Midland West against Saron a little bit later on EXA Chiefs versus S sharks that will be exciting that’s third fourth at 550 then the
Final the big one kicking off at 7:35 uh this evening which seems a far cry away now but will creep up on us quickly it’s B rugby against Northampton Saints who are looking to go Third Time Lucky uh but for the here and now it’s um it’s Yorkshire versus quck uh it’s
Uh been a lot of changes and and and movement for quins um they as I said have won only one this season uh all the way back in August against London South Central um it’s been five losses on the bounce since see them play uh in this
11th Place playoff uh Yorkshire on the other hand uh got their win uh just a fortnight ago uh at Kingston Park against uh Newcastle Falcons they’ve fallen short to all the other teams in the northern bracket and end up playing in this uh 11th Place playoff as well um
The the Yorkshire side uh remained relatively unchanged uh from The Clash that uh took place uh last week against Midlands West uh academy uh for quins they make sweeping changes from the team that uh lost out heavily to Saron um just seven days ago uh a side that have arguably been riddled with
Injury so far this season uh theyve opted to uh look towards youth uh for finals day uh they’ve got six under 17s players uh in their starting 15 this afternoon have the London base side whereas uh Yorkshire here giving a final run out to those who have uh served them
So well over the last um couple of years the likes of Ole Spencer Anthony mccor Lloyd mccuan Peters uh Louie Platt all these players playing their last uh outings for Yorkshire rugby Academy in the tunnel forming for uh the Yorkshire side as we see Quinns enter the fry
First Led Out by uh Jamie Miller uh Jimmy Staples in fact is uh wearing the armband or the metaphorical armband of uh Seaford school and the noise picks up as York ship enter The Fray and what I say is a very nice light blue gradient dark blue kit attire that they’re
Dawning of course it’s uh Quinns in the famous quarters both sides heading bags waiting it’s fairly difficult to get up and started at 9:30 for anything but to come and play a physical rugby match with the importance that this has uh proves even trickier Eiffel one would certainly not want to
Be hitting the sort of specimen at this time in the morning but here we are the job upon them such is the reward for finishing in sixth they’re up first this of course not the uh Battle For The Wooden Spoon that’s uh [Applause] Bo and it will be Lou
Platt with ball in hand who will get us underway it’s under 18 League finals day one of the uh crown jewels in ag grade Rugby’s crown and it starts here with a cash with North and South Yorkshire already received the ball back as it goes over the lifting
Quins Gabe hary getting his hands on the ball at the base of the r for the first time and lifting it on to Alfie longstaff another under 18 star who will be playing for the last time in Yorkshire colors that’s a strong hit on L Lucas Oxley very strong indeed and
It’s reap the rewards of a [Applause] penalty and quins after that shaky start will get a chance to uh kick the ball towards touch what a collision that is I think it’s Jamie Miller with the hit and it’s uh allowed for quins to knock it just inside the Yorkshire
Half it’s just in Jamie Miller lines it up and uh away go Quinns out the back and through they race down this blind inside here there’s options are plenty if they can get there stepping back inside big shot comes in from Hy Sam line from the base the ball
Stamped in behind but penalty coming Yorkshire offside Callum high and dougb had collected the ball in the back field but the kick was to nothing as they had the penalty in toe a good nudge from Felix bitman Chapman so Jimmy Staples throwing at the line out despite wearing six on his back obviously play the ler rugby at Hooker of course and away go quins now they’ve uh reaped a lot of rewards from driving balls over the last few weeks and they’re going to get the uh
Penalty here off the back of one Felix bitman champagne is going to nudge it once again he’s really close and he’s got there the first try of the afternoon goes to Jimmy Staples of Seaford College it’s um trademark quins believe it or not for this uh under 18 side they’re uh handy
At M time they prove it with a uh good score courtesy of Staples this cat and drive taking them from halfway all the way to uh the whitewash yorshire will be dis pleased with the amount of penalties they conceded in the uh run up to this first Quinn’s
Try and it will be a chance for Felix bman champagne to add some extras from out wide the kick CS round the uh goer uprights and that’s a full seven points awarded to Harley Quins a pushover stuff done by the uh heavy lifters in this Quin side York will look for a similar result off the back of the uh kickoff and Uprising highest was anesu chov and now away go Yorkshire looking for that instant response is Josh o they’re meters away from the line already Lucas
Oxley few Blazer plastic grass separating Yorkshire and the tri line at the moment nothing coming says the referee he’s going to come back for a uh scrum to y [Applause] ship unplayable straight off the uh restart and O seemed to have the door a jar in front of
Him and he smash it open and all of a sudden Yorkshire have a prime opportunity to get themselves on the score sheet options left and right set referee not happy with the way that that scrum was set up we’ll have another go at it okay thank you need you H for me
Okay Gabe harrey with ball in hand he’s uh only recently come into the nine shirts converted fly half he wasn’t getting much game time behind Louie plat so decided to go one position inside and is strucken up a great relationship with platen he will give the ball to mchu and
Peters who in turn offloads it and Quinns do well to hold up Isaac F just on the line they’ve still got work to do here Finn no it’s Anthony [Applause] mccormac how can you mistake him mccormac seem to be an everpresent name in the Yorkshire rugby Academy side gets his reward Five
Points through the malet man pissed were pushing towards the line then and all of a sudden yor should get themselves right back in the game with Louie Platt given the opportunity to level up this fix seven minutes in it’s a good strike but it fades just across the upright so it’s a two-point
Game here in GL now quins get the first time opportunity to uh SL who’s wriggled away and I think the ball is going to come y’s way it will on the 22 good scramble defense from the men in blue to uh mute any opportunity for quins to get on the outside shoulder
This sort of surface usually lends its hand to a bit of running rugby hopefully we’ll see more of it as we head throughout the day and afternoon but you can imagine at this time in the morning these players aren’t used to running complicated shapes [Applause] ball goes y’s way off the penalty and
They got a quick tap and get it away and it comes out to Highland Dugo and he gets it to Tom row hrey pla big collisions in the Midfield and Quinns I think have smuggled it back their way yes they have Miller out the back it goes to Ed tus who was Man
Handen Yorkshire had the ball for a uh Split Second but instead it’s ended up in the possession of Quins what sorry okay this okay long and strong that five please Crouch by Sam line ball in hand he’s at nine today no Lucas Friday for Harley quins has been the case for the majority of the Season he’s been riddled with injury the ball comes through the hands of
Tusler but still away and here goes Morgan per for theall me ball knocked on going to go Quinn’s way the scram 10 m further up the field this was the break by Morgan pero I’m now joined alongside Me by Sam Roberts who will be commentating throughout the afternoon alongside me on
This under 18 League finals day join us in a uh back and forth Affair capitalizing on errors which you’d imagine would be the uh way in a game this early on it’s a it’s a it’s a wonderful day it’s already bubbling away there’s there’s enough people in here to make
The atmosphere a little bit I’ve been in amongst it I’ve spoken to Kevin mags he’s on his way up to see you a little bit later as well get the Gap and a good start to proceedings these two sides look as though they’ll uh they’ll give it a go this morning well indeed
Yorksh are establishing their presence at scrum time that front row Lucas Oxley Alfie longstaff who’s cting the side and oie frell up against Jamie Miller Conor van Lil and OE streer B all six coming from different schools and clubs so familiarizing themselves in the front row dropped ball comes out and it’s
Straight to tusla from her point it’s again ball KN and we’re back to where we started with a scrum to quins just underneath the posts about seven or eight meters out I spoke to Stuart Dixon in the week and and ay long staff is one of the names he he picked
Out not obviously because of his R playing abilities but also just because of the the vibe that he brings the the energy that he brings to things and he’s perhaps a typical of a of a hooker a little bit uh a little bit of a of a fun
Personality to have around the place and you need those whatever level of rugby you’re playing you need people who are are going to be the heartbeat of things he also mentioned Josh oi as well but he mentioned Josh oi being incred relaxed to the point of being horizontal
Travels a long way to play his rugby for Yorkshire Academy does Josh oi actually in the par quin’s catchment area down in dullage familiar with a few of the players who be matching up alongside this afternoon this morning in fact we’re going to get that a little
Bit it does feel already like it’s going to be a long long day but the weather’s good isn’t it the weather’s cleared it was raining for about 24 hours prior to this down in the west country as we traveled across it rained constantly last night but it has B itself a bit of
Blue sky and it should be a wonderful occasion certainly of course this 4G pitch is going to be able to withstand a whole day’s worth of rugby set it’s going collapse and it’s York way that seemed to be the uh call that the men in blue were hoping
For they’re able to get themselves out of jail with this clearance from Lou Platt but this scrum yeah just buckling at the knees it was streo potentially got himself a bit too long the ball has not found touch however instead it’s found the hands of sha sharp and Sam Lon has been
Smothered quins getting themselves back into shape recovering from that abrasive defensive Rush from yorkshi taking it phase at a time line looks for a little D and he will try and get through Quinn’s brought down by Oki Lily bitman champagne The Intercept potentially thrown and no it’s not and
Away here goes Finn Crumbley the offlow straight into the hands of Anu chov York should try to breathe a sigh of relief but they know the job’s not done here they’re meters away from their own TR line as they’ll look to clear it Cavalry called in I think the box is
Going to go high into the sky from Gabriel hury it will and it’s long and it’s out and it will be a Quinn’s line out just outside the York to 22 yeah that was a good covering tackle over on the far side Quinn’s looked as though they were in and behind
Apologies if you uh are skipping out on our audio here and there we’re trying to get that fixed as much as possible as Ed tusler goes through the middle for Harley quins he’s meters away from the try line Quinns are going to have to play patient or have they G over the
Whitewash the ball I think has been held up by York line the goal line drop out the uh go line slaming run of tusla could he have found someone here on the left hand side just the end of his run get his hands free I think he looked for it but
Instead they decided to try and play patiently and it was Jimmy Staples who was looking for his brace who was uh held up on the line again Platt given the chance to uh nudge this ball as far back as possible it finds the same person in sha sharp as it did few
Moments later bitman champagne out out to Rory Minon no Ben web for harle quins this afternoon Minon is given the opportunity to start at fullback as that ball is not him behind but too much on it and it goes straight out so it be a Yorkshire line out just inside their 10 m
Line that ball with a little bit too much gas yeah a little bit strong H Quinn’s uh look good with ball in hand and look as though they can open up Yorkshire Academy here’s Lloyd MC and Peters who knows a little bit about opening things up he uh punch his holes for Wellington
College on a regular occasion and now here come Yorkshire through Thomas row on that left hand touch line but it’s the strong work of Callum Russell over the ball to uh snu out that Yorkshire attack which looked threatening for parts yeah really really good work Jacko Kelly doing some great stuff
And making sure that uh quins get into the right position it was uh a little bit worrying wasn’t it as Yorkshire came through Tom R good break good space created on the left hand side but uh quins didn’t Panic haven’t had a huge amount to write home about this year Harley quin’s Academy
And they would love to sign off for today with a good win Staples goes towards the back bman champagne out towards the heavier lifters in the back field yit come out with it Oki ball stolen Hy there’s Ole Spencer [Applause] T drive that is plat five MCU and Peters and Anu shov
Coming off his uh Wing to look for stuff in field and penalty given I think it’s offside yes it is so once again plant will have the opportunity to nudge it into the corner leg drive there from mly Spencer really strong mchu and Peters giving chov the chance to enter into The Fray
And plat now pokes it into the corner about seven or eight meters out here yorksh it’s time to see their catch and drive more [Applause] okay over the 15 here with he’s always bound Aly long staff and he’s going to get there long Star as we mentioned a peral
Character in this Yorkshire setup and he gets the captain’s contribution to take Yorkshire into the lead yeah really good excellent set at the line out looked as though they were going to swing one way and then the other this was nice move mement nice body positions long staff
Loitering at the back there and watch it looks to go left and then long staff actually breaks he has uh Finn Healey on his shirt Tails but long staff doesn’t care finds his way through that’s a good score for the Yorkshire Academy the uh Yorkshire bench in Hot Pursuit to celebrate with long
Staff as uh plat is given the opportunity to try and add some extras from slightly further in field than his previous attempt that one straight and true [Applause] good nudge from Louis plat it’s a five-point game here in gler quins after scoring the first have conceded two unanswered
Tries both from the Yorkshire pack Alfie longstaff and Anthony McCormack the TR scorers that’s a good passage of play isn’t it when you think back five minutes where Yorkshire found themselves on their line all of a sudden it’s h up here for quins quins once again get the ball off
The restart that’s happened every time the ball’s been kicked in the air bitman Champagne Ball spilled and Yorkshire could get away with this if their footballing skills are good enough and it’s going to drop for Tom row who will find himself underneath the six I’d like to have a look at that
Again just to see where he was and how that was kicked I’m not sure referee was in line with it and seemed very happy it seemed to Bobble around agonizingly so and then just sat up for Tom row and he skipped forward there was a little pause
From everyone who just wanted to know exactly who had touched it last and that comes off the chat behind him he’s lucky there I think that comes off long staff okay Co and the referee says okay we won’t have a TMO here today otherwise they’d
Be uh they’d be very busy but that is a score for Yorkshire Academy may be a little bit fortunate but uh on finals day you take your fortune with both hands you do indeed and very quickly this game has turned on its head first fly hack there and it definitely comes off long
Stuff absolutely and it’s Row the beneficiary Woodhouse Grove boy the getting on the score sheet new balls please is the uh call ball back underway and this time it is collected by Yorkshire Lloyd MCU and Peters spp in the 22 out the back it goes plat given options almost too many and he’s
Undecided and it’s uh Jacka Kelly who concedes the penalty it’s taken quickly and is Josh oi off the good work from Alfie long bacman champagne across the face and once again it’s into the uh arms of quins but as a player down little bit of space there for quins
On the outside if they could have got the ball I think the go was to fling It Wide that’s why there’s a bit of uh urgency here because there was space out wide yor should caught themselves a little narrow but the accuracy not quite there from the quins academy and there’s going
To be an injury replacement here for for Yorkshire in the front row luas oxy looks in a bad way yeah I think it’s his shoulder and from the way that he quickly left the field it may be a reoccurring injury one that he’ll be ever frustrated with and it’s uh Harry tunningley I
Think who’s joined us more changes for Yorkshire as well friendley green is on harate boy just over here on for uh anesu chindo who is also hobbling to the sidelines okay thank [Applause] you get to the V check no Vicki who’s on the bench for Yorkshire Academy I’ve
Heard some good things about him a check born player still learning the language and still learning the game of rugby but a good physical specimen they might look to introduce him at some point scrum here though he’s on the field and he’s on the outside of plat and it’s mchan peters’s Center
Partner who instead gets the ball and tries to offload it to Arie Herford but instead the ball ricocheted off his uh hand and it was was not forward and quins will uh get possession right intentions from M Peters but just the accuracy a little bit off indeed Herford in the right
Place pass just went astray Crouch bind set so Sam lion again with the ball in hand say no back back thank flat ball all the way over it doesn’t bounce the way that Ed Tass liked it to and it’s taken quickly by uh yit bit of basketball
Action ball remains in the 22 and away wide open and Herford steals in and all of a sudden Yorkshire Academy have wrestled this one by the Scruff of the neck and Louis Platt is staring down another conversion yes indeed apologies again for any uh lack of audio that uh we’ve been getting technology
Also feeling the early start it seems Lou plant lines up his uh fourth conversion of the afternoon excuse me say that it’s wide but it’s uh still a bigger golf now for har Quinns to return from it was his quick thinking off that uh line out that spark it all in this
From Herford very clever Felix bman champagne gets us back underway the ball really high and spinning this way and that and I think nearly come out quinide but it was knocked on by the men in quarters before Yorkshire got their hands on it good job at the restart hang it
Really high gives his forward something to aim for doesn’t quite work out that time Gabe hury with the his hands on the ball at the moment Gabe harb at number nine I another reference to the chat with Stuart Dixon the week you mentioned Gabe hury he’s uh
He wants to play 10 but has to play nine Louis pla in the way but he’s adapted incredibly well to n one of the real stars one of the real finds Stuart Dixon says at scrum half Gap hury a real glue man sticks it all together although
That’s a turnover ball Quinns have got it now they’ve lost it and it’s again Adam Benny at the back Sam line to Finn Healey there’s conovan Lil on the ball Brighton college man Lily gets it boot to the face for his troubles and may link as to why that pass went
Wayward Little D in behind it away go quins well they needed a moment of magic and sha sharp has provided the Seaford man slaming his way through the Yorkshire defense and all of a sudden harle quins get themselves back in the mix sharp by name Sharp by Nature what an absolute
Find this boy is and great feet awareness to step the last man sliding in he’s he’s been bubbling away under the surface of Quinn’s in this game so far has been good when he’s got the ball and then he comes looking inside love conversion is Good from Felix bitman champagne this
Time he the uh work of sharp obviously no Elliot Southworth no Isaac Manuel no Zuko Rob on the uh Quinn’s Wings all three have been uh present for uh harle quins over the course of this under 18s campaign it’s Shan sharp who’s given the starting shirt this after this morning and uh
Well he’s H proved his worth with a try to put Yorkshire back into the bit line bitman champagne still going Aston Graham trying to replicate the work of his opposite number champagne goes to the balling behind and it’s fallen for pla but they had the penalty they knew they did hence the kicking
Behind yeah they’ll come back for the high tackle decent break from Ashton Graham who I know can double up in the front row might have a busy uh day today Ashton Graham but barreling his way forward it’s exactly what Quinns need to get back into this game yor just
Still ahead by 10 points but Quinns at the moment with the with the pep in their step should we say now going to look towards there bread and butter which for harle quins is their catch and drive hold it yor you’re on the Das quins set your Gap please eight step
Out one one quins out you [Applause] knock on SC advantage and uh yit pick the ball up in the 22 outside plat over ball goes high up into the sky the Crossfield kick they’re looking for it it’s going to bounce back Quinn’s way and Ashton Graham it’s collected in and it’s Yorkshire
Ball Quinn’s coming in at the side less than a minute 20 yeah it’s coming this side the ball on nudged into uh the shed and it’s uh y ball just before the break moments left in this uh first half they don’t have long staff with the throw all the
Way towards the back it’s flicked on but only into the hands of Archie Herford who’s has a who’s had a busy end to this first 35 Minutes there’s tusla line Miller line evading and finding Jaylen Ryan Koka under 17 lad who’s come off the bench for hary Quinns Herford graah in fact Quinn still driving forward trying to get themselves a try just before the break no they won’t we’ll head into halim with the score of Yorkshire 24
Harle Quinn’s [Applause] 14 going to sing it to score in the corner quick the to the fock my [Applause] [Applause] back he’s land going to sing it to score in the corner [Applause] [Applause] Landed going to sing it to score the turn quick and the clch of the Fist and knock my his [Applause] back so yeah you look at that that’s it’s crazy good players well welcome back uh it’s uh Yorkshire who uh have a slender lead that was cut down by Quinns
Just before the break and uh we have uh another exciting half to uh bring you we’ve had a slight upgrade in the commentary box um Kevin mags has joined us uh obviously former Ireland International uh now doing his hard work off the field with IQ rugby Uh Kevin
Great to have you with us it’s an early start isn’t it in gluster yeah it’s an exciting one now I’m glad the the the weather has kept dry for us and uh we’re in for an exciting second half now we are indeed as Yi collect the ball comfortably off the restart few changes
For them which we’ll try and tell you about as the game goes on mchu and Peters in uh in the back field trying to weave his way towards the outside shoulder and still away goes I think that’s row on the far side penalty going yorkshire’s way they might go to take it
Quickly now they won’t it will end up in the hands of Louie Platt it’s been good work so far from Thomas row who’s uh been a a present obviously Kevin despite not being on comment stre I’m guessing you watched a lot of the first half you saw some impressive names out there really
Strutting their stuff on the big stage yeah definitely will there’s there’s been some some great great tries I think the difference really has been Yorkshire taking on quins physically and capitalizing on their mistakes you know you saw the Quinn’s trying to get into the York 22 made a mistake and before you know
It um Tom row was in under the under the sticks you know fantastic fantastic try again rumbling a forward it’s long staff with the ball at the back and it’s broken here Oki tries to collect it it’s been knocked on and it will be a yor scrun this time on the
22 that Captain Drive was uh ominous blue seven green sorry green seven broken away here the good work of Alfie longstaff and he found Harry pton who’s come on lead scammer school yeah he just needed to hold the ball there didn’t he and re restart again and build that pressure you know
Trying to get into the the quins 22 but just trying to force the game a little bit there with that offload you know you really need to take that on your on his terms and and be in control of it it was a bit rushed then but this is a great
Position now for for Yorkshire to to go for a set phasee attack and they’ve uh got the options it’s spread across this synthetic surface you sure they’ve got finle green right out there on the touch line but it will go through the hands of Lou plat before plat goes himself straight
Through flicks the ball up to noan in particular and instead it’s Morgan perel who comes away with it stay Sam Line clears kept in field by Highland Dugo who will return the ball with a little chipping behind Perell steps this way and that still going trying to find that outside [Applause]
Edge now Harley quins will look to counter ball across the face good handling and it’s potentially stolen by yit but no it’s not at the moment the kicking behind that’s clever from Matt Jones of Gordon and this could gra for 5022 it will great kick that’s great game management yeah great fantastic
Kick he he recognized where the space was having Yorkshire already kicked the ball back to them is a great bit of play there mat Jones still only under 17 as his all of the uh Quinn’s Replacements but showing the uh mature rugby ability of a a 25y old there with the uh option
To turn back against the GR and find that 5022 put quins in a prime chance to potentially use their catch and drive to full effect well this is going to be a great opportunity for now to see if if they can get another foothold in this game
And get another try on the board now while we take this brief break in play uh Kevin tell us about why you’re here obviously IQ rugby uh an opportunity for players to potentially find their way into an island pathway program yeah so look we’re we’re looking for you know
Myself and and my colleagues are looking for Irish qualified players okay to to give them the opportunity to to play you know not only for us but to but to come to Ireland with us and play against the provinces but but generally just a chance to get into the Ireland pathway
You know not not everybody is you know that’re the the pathway is not dead straight it you know it it requires lots of different Pathways different environments different coaching uh for these players to develop and to give them the opportunity to play a higher level of rugby and that’s what we want
To do we want to see them in to getting a green jersey playing for Ireland under 18s Ireland under 19s and under Ireland under 20s you know which is a a fantastic level of any any sport now and to see those Lads doing so well now in the Six Nations coming up is
Fantastic Harley quin’s go to the middle and it’s stolen however by Archie Herford who’s been busy so far this afternoon this morning in fact yit looked to break away that was Seb e sebby Gray getting his first few collisions on the ball and it’s a penalty that goes Quinn’s way it’s Harry
Tunningley who entered that Collision illegally can’t drop late into the contact this a little bit of a slip up from from Yorkshire as they potentially look to exit instead it’s going to be matth Jones who was going to look for uh touch couldn’t find it that’s a it’s a big
Error there really quins would have wanted that 5 meter line out there to try and put some more pressure on and hopefully get across the line but a poor kick there is uh given the ball back to Yorkshire and given him a chance to to exit get away from their 22 here to
Relieve a bit of pressure for themselves just waiting on a ball Harry pton up with it in Hand potentially going to utilize the heavy frame of Lloyd beu and Peters in that yor Midfield Scotland under 18’s boy is uh well college for the last couple of years making indents in schoolo rugby defenses he’s consistently appearing for Yorkshire as well but Quinn’s causing a nuisance at scrum time and Wheeling it
The other way plat goes down the short side and yorksh get themselves out of their own 22 was oi Spencer hard box kick shallow though doesn’t get much distance it’s Advantage Yorkshire and they’ve got the ball to boot now all the way up towards the halfway line hord potentially tried to
Go through the middle Spencer the power of him jeez that’s a good ball carry there that’s unfortunate he’s brought it back really I thought he could have played Advantage a little bit longer there but yeah great carry from the number eight there they’ve got some uh big bits of Machinery especially in
That back row okay just take your time Josh o obviously got ever so close to getting onto the score sheet in the first half Archie Herford did OE Spencer as well of a grammar school at leads and Har at RFC I think that’s a difference will you
Know you looking that first half again those big ball carriers for your feed this scrum again Quinn’s piling on the pressure and they do just that but a little bit of gamesmanship caught out as I think it was heish milhench who came out of the scrumble before he was allowed
To it’s on this Blind Side here yeah milhench clear as day Unbound the delich boy and uh once again Yorkshire head towards the Harley Quinn 22 as you said at the uh top of this half Kevin it’s a a game of managing mistakes at the
Moment yeah it has been I think um you know Yorkshire have capitalized on a couple of Quinn’s handling erors and I think um you know that that’s key they they’ve just really fought for that board that on that loose ball and they you know they’ve they’ve got away a couple as you
Saw earlier that kick through and they scored and they’ve just capitalized on on field position and and the mistakes from Quin another Advantage for Yorkshire as the penalty count heads into the teens Louis pla goes for the cross field kick and it’s picked out the air by
Hury oh he’s done so well there really stays strong in contact there presented the ball really well and give give York this platform now 5 me out there goes s Bland plat there’s numbers out here if yorshire can use them that was Callum Russell heading towards the 5 meter line plat looks back
In field Highland dougo resisted mchu and Peters horb once again pointing towards the touch line looking for the ball out wide but it will stay with the uh bigger men for now oi Spencer underneath the posts great defense from Quinns there knocking o back Miku and Peters looks
For that little dabbing behind it comes to nothing and Joshi and oh potentially the ball was available to play with there but the referee saw a knock on from Yorkshire but it was a knock on from quins just before that will be a scram to the men in blue yeah that’s
Unfortunate for for Yorkshire there they they were in a good position just maybe just the the the number four there Callum Russell maybe could have just looked outside him and shipped on that pass York would have been in in the corner but again some some resilient defense from quins there keeping them
Out 10 minutes into this second half Yorkshire looking for the first points of uh this period of play again another in position for Yorkshire now to to see if they can do a strike move perhaps you’ll see Ole Spencer go on a run steady it goes to mchu and Peters
And out the back and what a shot that is that’s a fantastic cut in half quins collect the ball to boot as well and they’re going to look to clear math Jones is uh doing the thms but couldn’t get the ball away release blue quins this time do clear through
Jones who doesn’t make touch instead finds Finley Green he spiled it then York look to clear bouncing up for MCU and Peters who finds plat with broken field in the middle and what an offload that is but no it comes to quins now have theall again back and forth back and forth this
Ball is bouncing in the Midfield someone’s going to have to try and take control of things Miller offloads harle Quinn’s attempting to exit Matt Jones flicks the ball on and Away there goes van leel flicked up by line no impact and uh Harley quins again with space Jones the ball in
Behind it’s bouncing and oh the bounce is cruel on this synthetic surface but all of that coming from uh that excellent defensive display for Harley quins yeah what a what a what a big hit will I mean fantastic work from Rory Minon not only
Did he make the big tackle but he got up off the ground straight away in a huge post tackle effort to to counter Ruck then and get the ball back for quins fantastic bit of play by the young man and it’s uh meant that Yorkshire are
Booted back all the way into their own half just outside their own 22 after being underneath the sticks moments previous Miku and Peter’s plat Highland dougo looking to get away and the ball is not collected initially by Finley Green and it has been knocked on penalty goes to Quin who take it very
Quickly Morgan per yeah it’s a good bit of play for Morgan I think that’s what quins need to do try and raise the tempo this game if they can they just need to keep the Ballo will they’ve just not they’re just not being able to look after and get
That bit of continuity just to build pressure on that Yorkshire defense could work in the back field by Aly long sta believe it or not if that ball was put through by math Jones but it’s uh to no avail as there was a high tackle in the Midfield I think that was
Lloyd MCU and Peters on Ole street so uh Jones will look to find touch you’ll look to make sure on this one he does and I think he may have taken a few meters off his kick to ensure that it definitely found the right whitewash this is a big opportunity for quins now
This you know they they’re now in the the oire 22 they need to really make this this opportunity to collects the ball off a dysfunctioning Harley Quinn’s line out it’s Adam Benny there a streer he’s making in roads and they got their quins away the
Space on the left if they can move it I think they’re going to stay in the same sort of places it’s held up again held up it happened in the first half Kevin mags it’s happened again the Yorkshire defense saying strong five and six change yeah I mean look that’s that’s a
Great play by by the quins props there Jamie Miller and olle Street are making big inroads into the to the York defense but somehow Yorkshire have managed to get an arm underneath it and now we’re looking at the the goal line drop PL will to get this as much well as he
Can and it’s uh going to be run back and quins to going behind Highland dougo still going after receiving that kick from Sha Sha I think it’s Quinn’s way this penalty is uh Sam line took a knock to the Head did he penalize him for a neck roll there Wayne
Once again apologies for the uh lack of audio you’ve been receiving in Parts over the course of this live stream so far we will get that fixed a Non-Stop rugby throughout the afternoon here Kevin mags will be taking a comfy seat in the king’s home stadium uh after
His work is done here and you’ve got a long day of rugby ahead of you I imagine your for is still in the morning we not not we’ve not even got to lunch time yet got to lunch time every week I’m I’m about three coffees in at this stage
Already and it’s only halfast 10 still lots to go lots to play for not just in this game but in games to follow again all of a sudden that Quinn seem to be finding their their strength at scrum time they seem to be dominant certainly the last three or four scrums
That they’ve they’ve always been on going forward and putting that doubt in in the referee’s mind to to give them the the penalty there and from a back’s point of view when you see a a scrum moving is the way it is at the moment from a Quinn’s back line they must be
Pretty excited to potentially use that as a bit of a springboard for yeah the props have done done very well like you know they they made some big in rows into that Yorkshire defense there they’re doing some Sterling work at scrum time they’re just getting the penalty there will you know for putting
Pressure on that Yorkshire defense and and giving them that go forward there’s a great ball carry there from James mheng as well Alex stsu is on with scr hat takes it quickly and Yorkshire asked to release they given the advantage AR Quinn stubs Jones goes for the cross field kick it’s
Not caught this time by Sha sharp going to come back for the penalty I think it was Alie longar who conceded it few too many hands in the r taken quickly but behind the back of the referee so it will come to nothing I think Jones will instead look towards the
Corner this is a key moment now where they really need to score if they’re going to have any chance of winning this game you know this is a Big Mo big opportunity they need to get that driving line out on board and get Ole Streeter and Jamie Miller getting those
Big ball carries making some in inroads into that Yorkshire defense Jimmy Staples once again will try his darts they’re good and it’s collected at the second time of asking quins stay there thank you doing what they do best at under 18 levels Staples heading towards the corner potentially have they got
There yes they have yeah Jimmy Staples throws a lifeline towards Hara quins here second of the day quins get their third and as you said Kevin Ma just at the right time yeah just at the right time fantastic tro fantastic line out there a great drive and Yorkshire just
Couldn’t stop the Quinn’s power into that line to take them to 2419 fantastic effort we’re in for an exciting finish there will we are indeed and uh the kicking responsibilities now lie with Rory Minton despite having 15 on his back he’s uh played a lot of fly half for
Cord and for little bit for Harley quins got the start at fullback this afternoon as I said no Ben web to be seen he’s uh suspected to be in the England Camp next week web Minton I think this one may end up just short it will so we will have
Ourselves a uh five-point game with 15 minutes on the clock it’s uh where you want to be from a neutral point of view don’t you yeah it’s all to play for it’s uh nothing but exciting stuff here at the Premiership Academy finals day fantastic effort from both teams in
This first match well there was a point where Yorkshire were 247 up now the score a lot Slimmer they just haven’t kept been able to keep the ball will have they you know they’ve they’ve they’ve kicked it away to quins and quins have won that territory
Battle and all of a sudden now they they’ve got a couple of scores and they’re getting a bit of confidence in their game no sha sharp making inroads Jones flashed across the face of Yorkshire Defenders Jones again playing conduit I think Rory Minton went to kick the ball
But forgot to put his leg out and instead I think they’re going to go for the Box through Alex stubs of Brighton that’s a uh a very good kick indeed clearance that’s a good clearance It just relieves that bit of pressure from Quinn’s now and just pushes yorshire back
Outside there their 10 met line but can they get a launch playoff now to get another score on the board Five Points down 15 minutes just under left on the Yorkshire now have an opportunity to potentially get that little bit more leg room on the scoreboard M and
Peters ball knocked on it’s now in Quinn’s possession again and stubs comes racing over to collect the ball from the deck and now away goes Staples van Lil and the ball’s going to fall here for stubs stubs if he can get through we saw heish milhench crying for the ball
But he was too far away to make any impact Finn Healey of Gordon’s the ball comes away of Yorkshire off the penalty after some great interplay between forwards and backs for harle quins it’s uh their real discipline that cost some deer Kevin yeah it’s just a little bit
Of indiscipline there from from the Quinn support player coming in at the side and and you know at the time is you just want to get there as quickly as you can and clear clear that Yorkshire player out but unfortunately he’s in the side and he’s given a give a penalty
Away allowing Yorkshire to clear their lines just inside their own 10 m line so be uh Seb to be gray to throw at this lineup ball comes down York’s way muu and Peters again who’s been ever present in that at York Midfield this this morning ball still loose and free and
Very loose and very free yorkshire I think have retained possession they have just Platt will look to get his dust pan and brush out and try and sweep things up for the Yorkshire side going down this Blind Side here with V [Applause] noi Sam Bland getting himself involved
Bishop Burton boy as are many of this Yorkshire side participating for their Ace colleges in the week Miku and Peters bats it back as there’s a massive Collision of muscle in the uh Midfield it was Rory Minon and Lloyd MCU and Peter who uh smashed the into each other in the
Air there yeah it looked it looked a lot worse than it than it actually was you know they were both competing really well for the ball you know and to be fair the 13 and Rory Minon have had a massive impact on this game Lloyd mchu and Peters doing some great carrying for
Yorkshire and Rory Minon doing some Sterling work in that Quinn’s defense and attack and both are just uh receiving a brief checkup with uh 10 minutes left on the clock we play 70 minute games under 18 level 35 minute halves if you weren’t aware sure you were 70 minutes of rugby
And seven games to play here at Kings home this afternoon up next we have uh Midland Central up against London South Central and uh lesser Tigers play Bristol after that gler versus Falcons Midland West versus Saron Chiefs versus S all leading up to B versus Northampton Saints later on this [Applause] Evening this going to we’re going to restart with the Yorkshire scrum Gabriel horrey is back with uh the ball in his hand after a brief stint on the wing five there could be a strike move coming down this right hand side here look at if you look at Rory minton’s positioning
As well he’s in the middle of the field there’s plenty of room down that right hand side Peter just about keeps the ball alive and Away goes Highland quns and the uh levels on the Quinn’s bench seem to be rising as they understand that this is an important
Time for uh the men in quarters yeah it’s a good tackle there just pushing him into touch but again just forcing that offload and turning the ball over to quins again for new Yorkshire they just need to get a bit of continuity now and keep the ball
In this last eight eight or nine minutes well Jones looks at the little stabing behind how will it sit for Highland dougo he’s got options of Plenty he’s going to try and run it he’s smothered well by Callum or Jacko Kelly in fact plat mchu and Peters out to Long staff
And now here goes Finley Green what a tackle that is by Alex STS just when quins need him yeah that’s a big tackle he was away then if he didn’t push him into touch fantastic effort great play from yorshire though will you know going from one side of the pitch to the other
Some really good hands there this game opening up in the uh final few minutes I’d say there’s a few tired bodies out there now will and uh you know these these last six or seven minutes now are going to be crucial to see you can come out on top
Still a score in it Yorkshire will look to potentially put a nail in the coffin if they can uh get a try in the next few minutes great carry there from Seb Easter B gray setting up that Yorkshire attack now just outside the quin’s 22 yoria through Lucas Oxley who’s returned
To the field believe it or not after having a uh a nasty shoulder injury in the first half mchu and Peters the ball floated Over the Top by Oliver fretwell and it’s they’ve done well to keep that infield tight head prop with a floated pass to no
One it’s uh e toy gray again I think doing the hard yards yeah he’s worked hard since he’s come on he’s got he’s you know he’s finding his game now getting in on a couple of carries he’s in and involved again clearing out that Ruck the ball spewed out and Yorkshire
Now find themselves back on halfway but ball knocked on so it’ll be a scrum all the way back on the 22 har the quins want to be able to get them elv back into this fixture they need to first of all snuff this out and
Then get back at the other end of the field Kevin yeah they’re going to need another big scrum here well and they’ve been dominant the last a few scrums we’ve seen and they’ve got a couple of penalties now so they really need to put Yorkshire Under Pressure here in this
Scrum and stop them getting into their 22 that was uh the moment when Gabriel horbury had the ball chucked in his face have a go with it he’s done really well though to be fair just to even get it back I’m not sure he knew where it was
Once his head don’t think he knew what day it was when it when it hit his head to be honest he was caught in the crossfire but it will be him who will take this free kick and plat out to it’s Highland dougo who’s got the
Ball in the end and here’s Josh oi who can stretch his legs but is his wrist just grazing the whitewash and meaning that the ball’s gone out for uh a harle Quinn’s line out you can tell he’s not played on the wing very much will you know because the the
Coaches I’m sure will be so frustrated because any coach now knows that this out there a Winger getting tackled into TCH is not not the thing you need to be doing you know he should have used his footwork on his size there to work back
In field and try and get that yor there is your team on the front foot take a brief pause in play as uh it’s Adam Benny who’s just going of received some treatment to his hamstring I think Gordon’s boy as is his uh backr partner Ashton Graham they play for club and school
Together it’s a strong hint of Seaford Gordons and Whit gift as there always is in uh yeah in these coincides their stronghold of schools well so you know the the majority of players come come from from that name Quinn’s Academy you know some fastic athletes and some fantastic
Schools that run really good programs and you know hence why these Lads are playing at this level Finn Healey rejoins us quins with an all important line out in their own 22 Believe It or Not ball collected by Miller Stubs quins Break Free of the 22 M line through Jimmy Staples who’s already scored two tries this afternoon ball goes through the legs of Ole streer and it’s into the hands of Yorkshire same thing there happened to horrey but that ball was fizzed Ole streer he would have done very well to
Keep a hold of that I mean they’re lucky to get away with that wheel to be honest CU um you know Lucas oxy there did a double roll on the floor and uh I thought he could have penalized Yorkshire [Applause] there but again now they get a good
Opportunity just inside the the quin’s 22 to set another strike play on and see if they can make an inroad into that 22 to build some more pressure close out this game even if they don’t come out with a a score throughout this Red Zone appearance kevit uh running
Down precious time for harle quins who have had a a tough time of it so far and uh yeah little bit of gamesmanship from horn Bri has cost them 10 meters and all of a sudden Quinns are back where they Started yeah was great great turn over there but yeah a little bit bit of indiscipline will you know little bit of throw uh un bad sportsmanship they throwing the ball away cost him another 10 meters but now you see Lou Platt will be looking to close out this game by taking
A shot at goal it’s h clever stuff from him think he was the one who grabbed the turnover and we have a chance to uh look towards the sticks he’s a good 40 yard meters out but he will have a crack at it even if he doesn’t get this
Penalty over he will be able to wind down that clock and potentially see the game out for Yorkshire yeah just gives him that that two score cushion to to just take it away from Ken now in this last couple of minutes Lou plant with one of the most important kicks of his early
Career it’s struck well but wide so will have a 22 M Dropout can quins do it there a team known for drama and theatrics can they pull one off in the dying members of this 11th Place playoff game goes High to Josh oi who’s finding himself in the Midfield now and seems
Slightly more comfortable and away go Yorkshire that’s Lucas Oxley yeah that’s down the door that’s a great ball carry he recognized there was nobody in there in the ru there and went straight through fantastic bit of bit of speed there as well will from the loose head more more common as these prop
Forwards evolve into freakish athletes MCU and Peters HB To Spencer the ball comes spewing out for him Platz will look to try and keep the ball in his hands he does well with that Quinn’s player surrounding him and they see it out they were called for time and that is time a clock a little
Bit short but York should take the win here it’s a final score at Kings home uh Yorkshire 24 Harley Quinn’s 19 what a fantastic way we finished now have you E right e e e [Applause] number two [Applause] l come on On well here we go the match has come thick and fast ninth versus 10th now London South Central versus Midland central two teams formerly known as Midland Central sporting the uh black and gold colors of uh what was wasps London South Central in the green of what was London
Irish still very much talk to each other and speak to each other as if they have those monikers and this will be a full blooded contest make no bones about it both these sides with the potential to score some absolutely wonderful tries they’ve got uh ball players and
Finishers on both sides of the 15 and I’m I hope you’re enjoying this uh Feast of school boy under 18 Premiership Academy final action and good contest and it is H great to bring you all seven games this afternoon leading itself all the way through to the final
Which uh this year will be contested between B and Northampton Saints good tackle comes in from uh Oscar Thomas and eal fires the ball back it’s loose it’s h picked up well by Oliver agar the captain of London South Central his second row partner Will May makes a little bit of a trund
Goes penalty though says the referee and they’ll come all the way back hey offside this London South Central side has a couple of names in it potentially worth thinking about Tyler a fire on this left hand side wearing a on his back yes I did say a fire
Son of Martin L and uh has got pulses racing in under 18 level certainly uh one that a couple of clubs are quite interested in uh in taking on early formation of the Rolling Mall from London South Central round they roll it towards the line it’s beckoning it’s at
The back there can they get it down I think they have Oscar Thomas Wellington College lad capped by Wales under 18s recently and having an absolutely storming start to this game osar Thomas with the throw in and then peels onto the back of this pushes his mates forward it’s uh relatively unspectacular
But it’s an incredibly difficult thing to do get all those bodies in the right position but an opening score for London South Central and Finn kelok another chap he’s an under 17 player really Bishop wesworth as a few of these players are in the England under 18 development Squad Finn
Kelok and eyeing up this kick on this wonderful ground Kings home the host today kick oh firmly against the upright Wallops it but no extra points just the Five Points to London South Central this is how it was done Oscar Thomas loitering with intent at the back of a rolling Mall
Charlie Mason the uh captain of Midland Central hoists the ball up into the sky is an absolutely wonderful day for rugby perfect temperature not too hot not too cold Goldilocks rugby here and the sun just peeking through don’t think we’ll get too much rain some
Gray clouds out to the left hand side of us but I think we’re okay and that ball bounces into touch to uh give London South Central a lineer a little bit of movement up goes Will May comes down with the ball and into the Midfield they come the good running is from Isaac
Spranger spranger the Hillhouse lad originally with the orire academy and then moved decent kick downfield from keyock hangs it really high well underneath it was Mo nabaki now Midland Central play with the ball he lead on by Charlie Mason kick comes in and it’s too hard and it’s
Freddy Ross in you chance for the St Benedict’s boy to have a little run lined up with Charlie Mason great tackle on him he got ball and shoulder keeps hold of it though D London South Central and they build once more decent work from Aiden Pew again
And here’s a fire little look at him he pokes it forward and then chases his own kick and Mason is going to try and hot step his way out of trouble but doesn’t quite make it Midland Central eventually get the ball out and just outside the [Applause]
22 outside the uh the 22 and a line out here for London South Central another look at here that I thought for a moment he was going to try his luck but no young a fire they lost a a Winger in the oh it’s going to broke down the left hand side I
Was going to mention about the fact that Charlie Griffin moved from London South Central to Saron a few weeks ago well actually few months ago now played a couple of games and we’ll see Charlie Griffin a little bit later for for sarens but opportunity occurred to him and of
Course with London South Central not having the senior setup both these sides susceptible potentially to uh players looking for longer term options elsewhere but both Finley wisman and Tyler Aire will have fancied their chances in the uh in the back three even with the like of uh of Griff
Scrum time is uh is not a happy situation for the referee comes over and speaks to both front rows we’ve got Charlie holler Oscar thomass and Hunter Dean Johns in the London South Central wearing green in the front row up against them George Alexander and at the
City city of Oxford as so many of these players are sh not Donnell and then Lasher Asanti candad Bishop V’s boy penalty to Midland [Applause] Central legs going away says the referee on asatiani kadzi side kick down field doesn’t go too far assistant on this s side has to uh run
Back towards the Men in Black and Gold black and yellow I suppose it really should be has a gold Sheen to it neatly off the top for Midland Central and into the Midfield they come quickly spread wide to Thomas and away they are they fly through George Pearson hurling tackles
Decent carry from Matt cell up they trundle past the 10 meter line that looked uh legal referee agrees there’s a knock on though from London South Central it’s going to make its way out here to a fire Fire’s offload is juggled with superbly by Aiden Pew but the ball
Has come back on Midland Central side decent move back inside Side by John Baldwin illegally so says the referee holding on and London South Central will get a chance to kick and clear the danger John Baldwin the blocksom lad just found himself holding on to it
For too long good work over the ball I think by Charlie Holier and it is Thomas the tri scorer who’s going to throw into this line now working hard on these moves just before the game went through but that doesn’t seem to work out goes all the
Way over the top and sha o’donell brings it forward for Midland central easol inside 522 is on Mason thumps it downfield Tyler a fire will oh he in put the ball on on the end of his Boot and search out that uh touch line on the far side the ball bounces
Infield but only once it is bounced out so good gain for the men in green it there before it really is something leester Tigers versus Bristol coming next then the the host if you like Gloucester will take on Newcastle yeah good work five Midland Central Building through
Again the work of Matt cell in the Midfield this time a good second third carry maybe for him so far early on in this game and charg down decent work from spranger Over the ball but it’s going to end up in the hands of Midland Central once more back car
Back cell again with a decent carry Sur playing his role as well just outside their own 22 Midland Central they’re going to call this back and look to uh box kick it ball goes infield it’s going to bounce awkwardly upwards on this plastic surface and friendy wisan had to wait
For it and down it comes here goes Tyler a fire well Marshal by the defenders in yellow work from Oliver AAR twisting and turning and just about gets that ball away Charlie Holier in support is out aen Pew t or release manh handle to the floor Rosen you’re goes in and plays
Pivot Pew again finds kelok klock’s kick has uh nabo Kiki twisting and turning to try and find it he does well nabaki good feet to find the Gap the offload is on the floor it’s awful for Jack Randall to deal with and his frustration he takes his frustration out
And the man coming over with a tackle unfortunately was a really difficult one go nabaki just changes gold flash of the hips as it were and through the Gap he went Randall unable to gather the very awkward ball along the [Applause] floor early substitution for Midland Central Thomas Cunningham wearing 22 is
Coming come on into the Midfield need better pictures West Side keep ourselves High heads above hits Crouch B set say hi so Charlie Mason the captain who’s come off May well find himself back on Su this is the impressive cam Ward at 12 physical player lower sick former still
Going another year left at this level and looks very much to the man of Born This kick out wide to a fire oh it’s brilliantly picked up fantastically done by George Pearson Pearson for the corner the cover is coming across but Pearson doesn’t need it that is textbook work from George [Applause]
Pearson he kept his eye on the ball and even though a fire was loitering it was brilliantly picked out by George Pearson the kick was a really good one excellently gathered and Pearson galloped home like a good one excellent repost from Midland Central kick from the touch line just shaves the
Upright it’s not quite there from the boot of Ellis Thomas what a good kick that was from the city of Oxford lad another look at this oh an absolute pearler George Pearson pick that one Out restart gathered well good work from Sha o’ Donal the body on the ball easol brings in the runners the ball bouncing around there not secure by John Baldwin but yeah and I think it’s going to be yeah it’s going to be given to uh L Central the men in
Green B is just a little bit of a attention paid to him by Hunter Dean jnes I think it was on the floor well done net result is a a setpiece a scrum from which London South Central can potentially look to attack options both side Rosen uran a fire down
This side I will mention that Freddy rossen has a a famous D Flo Florence rosener oh that kick in behind is going to make its way out to the 22 Yeah the 15 for uh London South Central spent a bit of time with him he came over we were at
Said BR no no we weren’t I get meens tournaments mixed up we were down at uh Seaford and he was with St Benedicts he’s just come back from a a shoulder injury and and and Freddy rossen you came over and spent some time with us and his dead dad
Floren rossu actually played for wasps as a as a senior Man play for Bedford as well remember him marauding up at goldington Road much loved up there and now his boy is uh in the colors of of green this afternoon Benedict’s lad 37 carry back in again carry Back Carry from Sha O’Donnell
Again Midland Central making there trying to make their way out the 22 Ethan Sur is carry takes them all the way up there kick from easol is going to find Tyler a fire a fire comes back inside looking for a hole in the fence he doesn’t quite find it the chase was good
From Midland Central they just about peel himself away that offload looked as though it might have gone forward by it from Springer referee agrees wasn’t much in it but enough good tackle coming in real on his opposite number Matel ex set stuff with the shoulder dislodges the ball POS stay as well thank
You decent position this you can’t see out a shot but all of middle and Central’s backs are on the left hand side and here it goes flat pass not well taken but snaffled up by cam Ward Ward’s going to carry that towards the halfway line and they’ll come back for the the
Knock on flat pass from Philip edstrom sorry my mistake Thomas Cunningham so both these sides I think would have uh had ideas on a on a higher placed finish than than they currently are currently batting out for ninth and 10th London South Central have seven bonus points from their six games and
Yet they only won two of them some absolute humdingers uh an under 18 level 50 points to 30 odd type stuff here come London South Central here come the work of uh here comes the work of Cam Ward I mentioned him a little bit earlier he’s a definitely a
Go-to guy Patrick ogrady speaking to me in the week saying they like the look of Cam Ward the way he uh he does what he does good tackles coming in from Midland Central though a little kick through it’s red by the Midland Central defense good work by John Baldwin to make the
Intercept and they make the carry Here Comes Matt cell another good carry from him he’s not held he thinks about clambering along the floor and then thinks better of it good hands again from Cunningham in goes easol Carry from aanti candad again more knock on this time it bounces the way of London South Central and they will get a chance to poke it downfield through the boot of Aiden Pew Tri scorer George Pearson Waits and watches the ball Bobble then picks it up easol Fe needs that back line it’s
The game at the moment being played in the middle of the park but there is a penalty and uh hanging on is the call and Finn kelok will waste not a huge amount of time looking at the corner flag and poking this towards the 5 meter line and give himself and his
Team a platform from which they scor previously Oscar Thomas was first on the score sheet in this game and it was from this exact position that it happened 20 minutes gone 35 minute halves at under 18’s level again same process played out here goes Thomas once more they get the roll
On it’s splinters Thomas for the line I think he’s there yes he is the referee’s arm is in the air and Oscar Thomas doubles his influence in the game perhaps uh not as polished as the previous effort it broke forward and Hunter Dean Johns and and he were
Separated forward they came and over went Oscar Thomas once more and it is in pretty much exactly the same position as their first score so fin keyock having hit the post previously knows exactly what it takes to get the ball through here from here let’s see if he can oblige
Kick from K he’s hit the post again is it the same post that he did previously I mean you could stand and do that for hours at King Z and not achieve what keyock has just done however there’s another look at Thomas diving through the cameraman was fooled
By that there there’s another look at uh kck’s uh party trick which is uh to hit that post wonder how many more times he can do that carry from Oliver agar again well not Oliver AAR sorry here it is Oliver agar I was right my eyes is not deceiving
Me ball isn’t quite handled by nabak mostly nabak does does well to repair the the issue here goes Ethan Su again another good carry by the Midland Central back row they they seem to make good yardage to to that band of men ball is ripped though by London
South Central and this is turnover ball transition stuff and this could work Hunter Dean’s John is going to fly Throw It Wide May almost into the hands of a fire and uh I promise you they will be looking to do that today come back though ambitious offload didn’t quite Work little discussion Aiden Pew chatting to Finn kok about where they go from here what the plan will be whether an exit is first up or second up Pew waits for it at the base and he goes open side and he uses a fire of fire chips and he’s going to try and
Chase a fire the ball is bouncing across comes Pearson another fantastic intervention from George Pearson and the kick is relatively decent as well made another 20 25 yards George Pearson enjoying himself on finals day you can quite safely say that the city of Oxford fullback have a look at this crossy
Comes thumps It Forward plays with his socks down his shirt out not a care in the world George Pearson easy this game of rugby Thomas the tri scorer is going to throw to this line out can London South Central get something else before this half is
Up Pew finds Ward good tackle on him he’s isolated with the ball Midland Central doing well to disrupt this and make it very difficult Dean’s John is trying to uh sort it out for the men in green lost a couple of yards there Pew is going to find keyock kok’s left boot
Is going to hoist it up into the gler Sher air and a look at Austin nevit Austin nevit does well all the offload doesn’t work Pearson couldn’t quite get on the end of that Austin nevit one of the three changes he’s from the Fairfax Academy Austin neit and with his orange boots
He’s twinkling at the moment as he makes his way through h on to by Oliver agar the lon South Central captain doesn’t quite work Out ball quickly to the back in London South Central through cam Ward going to work inside pass a fire Tyler of fire round one round two Tyler of fire continues to go Tyler of fire where does he run to eventually it breaks to and ball along the floor to Elijah
Taylor little look at the running style and Brilliance of Tyler a referee’s going to bring him back not quite from the right spot a little bit off the ball between the two nines can’t make up the miss the opportunity to have a go at each other this is the break from a
Fire got a strong gate isn’t he strong running style be very very difficult to [Applause] stop brought in well by the inside the inside ball from kelok was neat there and oh look where they are once more London South Central this is a familiar territory a familiar part of town I wonder whether
Thomas can do it again this could be a hatrick for him St Oscar Thomas once more ball at the back rolling mall it’s as easy as this that’s a hattick on Premiership finals day for Oscar Thomas oh this game a rugby you don’t need too much you just stick it into the
Corner make sure the lineup comes down right build it sort it done it look at that Oscar Thomas here you go this is a Prem ship finals day hatrick yeah just pushing his mates there we go like a he gets up as if it’s a no mean feet quite frankly
Three tries in the first half now here we go Finn keyock has hit the left hand uppr right with both of his previous kicks if he does it again I will donate a small amount of money to charity oh at least 20 pound I’m being asked for
20b oh he was close for a moment my heart was in my mouth keyock has done it my director immediately wanting a figure out of me which I think is a little bit unfair considering I did say it was a small amount of money but I suppose one
Person’s small amount of money is a very different to to another person this was the run that sorted it all out a fire remember the name you’ll know it of course Tyler a fire with the run and the hattrick from Thomas this game is cooking along nicely and middle and Central certainly playing
Their part three tries to one at the moment cam Ward Dean’s John good from from rossen here comes a fire again good tackle on him from aan aani candad really good aggressive defense from both these sides working hard without the ball stop ball hoisted into the air
Brilliantly done looked as though he was tackled in the air there with wisman they might come back and have a look at this Finley wisman took to the sky eyes had his leg seemingly taken out by the on running piercon this is um certainly dangerous that’s why
They’re having a chat over there on the far side I mean he came down all right he wasn’t upended but even so looks a little bit reckless from Pearson if I’m if I’m if I’m honest he he hits him with his shoulder yeah I think there going to be definitely a
Penalty there gold contact in the air just be careful fellas and it is just that from the referee no more than that yeah it was initially good just lost the battle kick downfield is a relatively decent one just outside the 22 ball is over the top sometimes well
Often that happens in under 18’s rugby and it does make things really spicy imagine a restart in rugby where you just lob the ball into the middle of the field that’s a that’s what happens a lot at this level line outs don’t quite function the ball flies into the
Midfield and the game is restart with a bouncing bomb Good carry again from the Midland Central back row they’re doing an excellent job well done John Baldwin picks and goes carries on his mates good workow penalty coming to London South Central five gold holding holding on again this is where London South Central
Seem to be getting the upper hand at the moment just at these uh these breakdowns these moments these decisions seem to be going the men in Green Way that’s two balls that have gone over the top of the shed so I’m going to have to go and get them you know they’re not
They’re not Che these Rocky balls green seven change that’s the 22 meter line and Oscar Thomas is going to throw into his line now it’s probably a little bit too far for him to have a go a rolling more a little bit of a substitution on comes Spencer codling
Wears 19 he joins the fry now go green rolling substitutions really at this level you might see people coming back on and off everyone given a chance to play their part not straight says the referee so we won’t get a chance to have a rolling Mall Midland Central call for the scrum
Reminder of the uh the games to come on finals day this the second of seven matches Leicester Tigers versus Bristol Bears is coming up at 1240 gler versus Newcastle 215 Midlands West versus sarens at 350 550 EXA versus S sharks say Hi and then the final 25 to8
1935 by versus Northampton Saints all spilt in the Midfield by Midland Central keyock is sniffing and they’ll come back for the knock on there and this could be a uh thank you a final push in this first half for London South Central it’s unfortunate from Cunningham who uh had
The ball looped towards him and couldn’t hold on to it B Set hold push gold Pew is searching for this at the base of the scrum he finds keyock rosinger is ignored wisman is out here on the right hand side twists and turns his way infield Pew again carry from spranger Pew good work from Dean Johns good ality here oh ball out the
Back was ambitious from cam Ward hasn’t worked for them and indeed Midland Central Come Away with it and here’s a great carry fantastic work Cunningham lovely work as well Randall Randall F goes oh what a score that is Thomas Cunningham unleashes Jack Randall and despite the tackles raining in on
Them they were able to go a full 70 yards that’s where the problem came Cunningham a little basketball tap on the floor he keeps his feet and away he goes Thomas Cunningham perfect pass to chat Randall one two three players around him in he flies oh just the philli they needed
Before halim middle and Central what a game this is turning out to be Ellas Thomas will uh have a kick not dissimilar to where he did in the first uh the first go just to the right of the upright that time as he got it dialed in this time oh
That’s a fantastic nudge really good kick to get the extra couple of points from Ellis Thomas and that is halim brilliant game second up on Premiership finals day at under 18 level it is London South Central 17 Midland Central 12 has he got enough B this on marus Smith [Applause] Ohen he’s landed not going to sing it to score in the corner quick the of the knock Back he has kicks on MAR [Applause] Oh he’s landed it not going to sing it to score in the corner quick and the clch of the Fist and knock M his Back has he got enough bend on this he has CR kicks on marus [Applause] Oh he’s landed going to sing it to score in the corner quick and the clch of the Fist and knock my Back has he got enough B on this [Applause] He he’s landed it going to sing it to score in the corner quick and the clch of the Fist knock back e e e e go is that changes or [Applause] green here we go then second half of this second game second of seven today I hope you’ve uh brought some
Snacks here with us for the duration this is looks absolute cracker of a game 17 points to 12 at the moment in the favor of the men in green London South Central formerly known as London Irish the men in yellow and black formerly known as wasp they represent Midland Central
Academy decent carry from Will May again it’s been a feature certainly big forwards have done some decent work on both sides of the ball that’s have both scrum halfs Aiden pews kicked downfield to the TR scorer what a brilliant try it was in the first half from George
Pearson the 15 the city of Oxford Ace and fullback forland Central B bounces out we’ll have a a line out speaking of Matt Williams the the head coach of Midland Central he’s actually head coach of Midland West as well and oversees the whole thing but he was pointing out a lovely Point Max
Blinkhorn has been in present the shirts to the team this week uh and as a name perhaps not very well known in the academy program he was late to it didn’t get a TR but went have played Buck rugby and is now has been picked twice by
England under 20 so just another example of the way that everyone needs to recognize that this Rugby Road is not a straight Ro straight one you can get to it in a number of different ways just because you potentially don’t get a contract at under 18 Level under 19 level doesn’t
Mean your rugby career is over so much to go and do so many different ways to go and enjoy your rugby and certainly I know this will be a pinnacle of of many people’s careers here today but there are different ways to get to the top and lot of changes in terms of
Physicality and rugby knowledge happen over the next four years for these players 180 say through to 22 huge amount happens you can see a rugby player under 18 level and then see them again at sort of 21 22 years age and they look a completely different
Specimen SC Lots uh lots to look forward to with lots of these players and hopefully this today is just a continuation of their rugby career yeah maybe some of them won’t make it all the way into professional contracts but you got to hope that they stay connected
With the game and go on to Long enjoyable amateur careers playing as parts of the many many clubs up and down the country and indeed the United Kingdom and further a field wonderful sport Rugby Union brilliant article by courney laws this week and uh I think it was the times
Just talking about how rugby needs to look make sure that it’s doing the right things and it’s a bit of bad press at the moment but so much wonderful stuff to say about this game of Rugby Union Good carry from Matt cell cell continues to go he’s a he’s a whirling
Dervish of a player he really is decent from nabak who’s shown a couple of class touches in the first half he’s been stolen by spranger who likewise has had a good game here we go then this is Tyler a fire a fire threw the first tackle and away he’s got people with him
Tyler a fire pins his ears back gets knocked down and Pew is with him almost to the line a fire now spreads It Wide Good carry Will May how wide it goes Rosen back against the ti holds on to the ball referee says for too [Applause] long another example of the power and
Pace of Tyler a fire no wonder he is being looked at in very serious Ways by some Premiership uh clubs and Junior acmy that likes I know bar were quite interested I don’t know whether or not that’s come to be we’ll have to see over the next coming weeks
What announcements are made but you can see why unfortunately Freddy Rosena trying to make the best of a difficult job in that corner gets pinged for holding on attention I think being uh given to OC Nai going to be gingely getting him to oh yeah that that tackle looked as
Though he glanced head on head with uh a fire fire doesn’t look worse for where but nabaki definitely looks as though he took a glancing blow and they’ll be concerned about getting him back to his feet they’ll take their time with him that’s why we have the uh stoppage in
Play he’s on his haunches he’s not uh he’s obviously talking to the medic to the physios but they probably will be precautionary just about this he looks frustrated and that’s probably because they’ve said that he may have to come off the field Moi NAB has uh definitely done a very good job this
Afternoon but I think they’re going to uh take him for a bit of a check and so they should a nasty Collision Charlie Morgan Stevens wearing 23 is going to enter the fry the mlin college boy yeah yeah Queen eberg s Nai makes his way reluctantly off the pitch kick out from
Mason should I say Lis Thomas with the clearance there Mason not back on the fieldis Thomas has gone to fly half he’s wearing 12 on his back line out decently played and taken substitute to Kieran Edwards is on at scrum half for the men in yellow all right worry goes Cunningham once again
And pears he’s not slowing it Cunningham played a really key part in that second try for Midland Central just before halftime that looks a decent break from Baldwin half scragged now they reset again Thomas comes back and he spies a bit of a gap over the back of a fire Rosen collects that
Beautifully little tap forward Rosen oh a little tap over the top I thought he’d done that brilliantly Freddy rossing and he was just held as he went and that’s why the knock on happened I thought he nudged that over the uh onrushing Defender timing advantage over a fire leaps into the scar then
Comes forward a fire bounces one man or it’s been turned over again that’s good work by Matt Bridge excellent carry fantastic work Diamond a Cunningham a little stab through it’s going to elude everyone and tiptoe out of touch another man down in the back field might have another stopp
Here might be a fire who’s taken a bit of a knock he um looks in a a little bit of a bad way yeah they will have a stop and and come over and and make sure he’s all right a bit more through the gate there you’re pushing the side a yeah
Yeah just come through the game yeah thank you for that yeah a little break in play here a reminder of the games up and coming Yorkshire versus Harley quins they won the first game of the uh of the day 2419 London South Central at the moment in control against Midland Central to
Come 1240 Leicester Tigers versus Bristol Bears the seven eighth playoff then the host glester rugby play Newcastle Falcons kickoff at 215 for that Midlands West against saris kicks off at 350 550 is extra Chiefs versus S sharks and then the final just past halfast seven be with us for
That one should be an absolute cracker I can’t call that bath Rog being Northampton saints Saints back in the final beaten actually last year by London South Central but back in the final B rugby playing some absolutely scintillating rugby at the moment should be a wonderful final that SEC that third
Fourth playoff actually looks quite good as well if you you want a double head X the Chiefs pretty irresistable at the moment and S sharks well they they beat Northampton Saints a couple of weeks ago and uh real potential within the sou shark side as well so lots of games to look
Forward to lots of rugby coming your way on under 18 premierships finals day see the talent of the future I remember last year one of the players lighting it up in the final was Henry Pollock and we’re all talking about him at England under under 20 level at the
Moment let’s just uh have a look at what happened here to Tyler ra fire I didn’t pick it up in in real time is it a glancing blow which is which is which is taking him out was a bit worried that we might see ankles and knees there but it doesn’t look that
Way fire is still down though and and is now in a prone position which he’s been spoken to by the medics and hopefully he’s all right this might be a little bit of a delay here now I don’t know if you can spot him with the water carries maybe our
Cameras can fig but one of the most recognizable figures of Premiership rugby the last few years is out there in the middle and Central Camp Ashley Johnson and he the South African he’s out there at the moment he’s got his water bottles in his uh in his PA and he’s
Uh adding his considerable knowledge and KN how to Things No Doubt 11 yeah we can’t tler fire is back up and uh I’m pleased to see that he’s uh he’s got clearance I think from the Medics as well they might they might want to
Closer look at him but he is going to be walking off which is uh which is good news let’s see where he does wander looks as though he is going to be escorted off and uh and be replaced Albert milen Hall no wearing 21 has potentially come on yeah he’s going
To go and Scuttle across to the left wing bir and a fire’s going to have a little check I think with the Medics just make sure he’s all right wish him well Jody bunts has also come on time back on then shortened line out from Thomas doesn’t go five not straight as well
Says the referee couple of different options there to choose from South Central just got to be careful here managing this game and making sure that mid Midland Central don’t two find their way back in got to be uh certainly in control in that first half and three almost identical
Tries for Oscar Thomas Crouch of rolling Ms looked relatively straightforward forward for the men in green but be careful that late score hold the push green Jack Randall just before halftime for Midland Central means it’s a one- score game there is Cunningham who certainly played his part in that
Try Randall the triy score good hands to make its way all the way out to Austin n not on the ball not on the ball he’s on the arm ball presented carry from Jake Roberts the uh rugby School Lad Thomas finds a gap it opened up in front of him as he wiggled the ball Cunningham again plays first receiver Thomas this time testing the hinges oay Yi out of Henley College o the number four for Midland Central carry for Matt Bridge who’s been busy
Today look at the way he works his way through good awareness to put the ball down and go again again strong carry from afor Midland Central they’ve they’ve lost the ball they’ve knocked it on it’s back with London South Central this time use Vantage over Aiden Pew’s kick is a
Good one up over halfway line got a good angle did the scrum half there Aiden Pew representing the Rams today most definitely Jo his Junior career with that club one and seven gos one and seven go couple more substitutions on comes Graff Williams wearing 17 and Harry buy wearing 20 for middle and
Central there they are in the bottom move your shot they’re making their way on okay just aort [Applause] From1 line up for Midland Central to try and wrestle Jake Roberts does well to come down with the ball Midfield is Ellis Thomas who finds cunning then spills the Ball left it comes Isaac spranger is prostrate prostrating searching for the ball miss the ball yeah Green changes more substitutions two 17 Alan poku and Alfie Holland for it’s a full front row actually Martin Charmers is also going to come on Charmers poku and Holland full front row replacement means that
Holia the uh Tri scorer Thomas hatrick of tries in the Premiership finals today that’s not bad and Hunter Dean JNS who’s had a a good afternoon so far in the front row for South Central he makes way 12 is Captain okay SC Crouch F Set stay nine come London South Central around to the right hand side Freddy rossu the St Benedict’s lad is twis and turn his way to the floor Aiden Pew is caught with the ball tack 21 roll Midland Central swarm don’t come up with the ball London South Central
Through the work of release Will May Barrel their way forward another couple of extra meters Pew is poised 16 big hit on Martin Charmers Pew Lofts the ball over the top held on to Rosen bit of open space for him the tap over the top is it going to
Work it’s a take from Pearson maybe the wrong option from rossen who had players inside him he shakes his head as he makes his way [Applause] back ball over the top bounced and Rosen found a little bit of space maybe you can see the two players inside him one
Of them was Pew other one was uh milen Hall ball hasn’t gone up killock is going to stab it Forward Pearson inside kick downfield also is not going to make its way out Rosen is going to get another go at this his St five kick is going to cause some issue
Cuz it’s going to bounce awkwardly here for Morgan Stevens Stevens down kick from keyock is mishandled by him don’t think it was a charge down so the referee might see that as a knock on at the moment middle and Central have Advantage offside says the referee so actually it’s London South
Central who get a go from here maybe contest Four Hands points uh points good work SC option SC they’re going to think they’re going to take a uh a scram man in green another look at it here the offense comes prior to that hands on the floor I think it’s the
Signal from uh the referee but no no penalty goal we want a little bit more than that I just wonder whether or not three points there forish might have eased the matter I don’t know maybe those decisions left to the players on the pitch spranger is going to feed this
Back line and Away comes Rosen he’s been close on a couple of occasions little chicken wing pass out the back to try and spring something ball goes out and it will be a middle in central line out 5 MERS out again another ball over the top from Pew the England 18 development Squad
He’s a busy player you can see the way that he manufactures things makes things happen in this uh London South Central side rescued and Pew is onto it again back in the hands of London South Central forward comes spranger Good carry from him Pew again making it work
Kok’s ball over the top agonizingly bouncing here it is over the line I think they’ve got there I think it’s Jody buns back and that is five points that they wanted had to be patient had to wait for it keylocks distribution ball bouncing how many times do we see it happen just
That bounce B of the ball causes a little bit of indecision and well finished off by Jody [Applause] buns GRE 14 14 to go finish strong better pictures now we kick from ke out wide he’s uh all of his kicks have been from pretty much this position
On the field three in the first half two which he clattered against the upright the third one he poked through the middle now’s his fourth he’s got a decent kick on him isn’t he the lad lovely conversion from Finn Finn kop under 17 player the bishop wesworth
Boy part of the under 18 development Squad and another year left on uh his Academy contract as it were that space looks a good player Ellis Thomas restarts and the ball doesn’t go the yardage that it needs to compounds the uh the issue in a sense
With the try being scored going to get the restart right crosses the mark fellas this one bends round almost makes it about 30 cm short outside the half outside the half crou on exactly halfway Set spranger carries forward Pew ball out wide to rosin he has uh made this side of the pitch tackle release little foraging spot for himself uh in recent minutes oh that ball has been spilt unfortunately Will May has coughed the ball up carry for Matt cell midd and Central need to get
Themselves back up the other end of the pitch pretty quickly struck exceptionally well twice in the first half from from Deep need need to get a bit of territory in their game at the moment I would suggest sorry didn’t mean to head off there’s the mistake from will may
Just as I think he was positioning the ball in his right hand to offload it yeah Crouch B set J Edwards will uh pop this ball into the scrum a lot of pressure comes on that scrum and the referee is uh I actually say that they going have a reset and go again here yeah it was good initial contest look come through so let’s just if I ask
You to hold that push let’s hold that P okay no more than that diamond a for on that far side is gesticulating Crouch F set better hook this time on the middle and Central side cell and Edwards combin outside kick from Thomas is too long and he’s frustrated with himself immediately put
His hands on his knees and now they’re on his head no Nock because that ball has gone straight out and he’s lost all the potential yardage and it’s been passed given the ball back to London South Central halfway between the 10 meter line and the 22 ball again Over the Top This Time
Well claimed by Will May Carri from edstrom it’s a decent one now they go left another long ball out wide running is AAR AAR towards that touch line I think he’s kept the ball in bit of confusion ball comes off the knee of Matt bridge I think as he tries
To uh push that forward so I think it will come off it’s actually come off London South Central first agar good tackle on him the off doesn’t quite work Bridge doeses exceptionally well let’s have a look here he goes to kick it that’s actually the hand of the tackle from Will May
That comes in and knocks that through I thought he’d need that one but that’s unfair of me green six Green Change will May’s hand is what nudges it into touch couple more substitutions back onto the field comes Ashton ilck and joining us for the first time
Ruben OSG good wearing 20 on his back for London South Central hang we are we all good yeah line out taken by ooi Good carry again for Mattel he’s uh he’s impressed me as Matt C with the ball in hand say that and he’s given away a penalty for holding on but maybe
That’s not his problem or issue as such ball wide it’s going to be worked into the channel and London South Central are in again are both and once again it’s Jody bunts quick thinking good hands down that short side there’s the penalty quick as a
Flash onto it and as I say good quick hands lovely work from Alan po could just to hold the last Defender give the space to jie bunts fifth try for London South Central and now seeming as though they are in pretty much control we head towards the well into the last 15
Minutes of this game 35 minute halves under 18 level Finn kok just uh allowed an opportunity to reposition his ball on top of his te he’s had the same kick five times he’s getting pretty good at it another couple of points from the Buddha Finn
Kelok looks a uh a good Prospect as the uh London South Central number 10 this was a good score neatly done by Pew copu uh poku holds on to the ball then releases buns again good hands from London South Central little nudg through Ross and you
Can’t pick that one up and neither can his opposite number Morgan Stevens the first uh first knock on came from Rosen just ambitious stuff little nudge through there just wanted to sit up a little bit higher yeah go tell you who’s missing from this London South Central side is actually
Martan Betson son of Serge he’s with the under 18 France camp at the moment that name to add to your list famous dance sides there two move mov both sides Focus you your job stability Crouch F set Kieran Edwards is uh pausing now he puts the ball in
Feeds his backline Cunningham and Thomas combin Pearson with a little nudge through seems a while since that W score in the first half from George Pearson decent bit of coverage but that’s a a good gain from Midland Central good option from pearon to uh nudge it through and Pew could only
Gather and try and knock it back with the minimum of yardage gained line let’s see what uh middle and Central can do from here conceded three rolling Mo tries I wonder if they can put one together themselves oh yeah y can’t get the first bit right
It’s back in the hands of the men in green t release a bit of a mess Pew’s waiting for it looking for it need to get the bodies out the way oh Q drops it backwards says the referee the kick is flat and through the legs of
Austin nevit nevit had a bit of a nightmare there the rugby ball can be very cruel I don’t think it that was that was unusual from Q goes through nitz legs there and and he has to watch helplessly as the ball bounces into touch about a 60m gain there from Aiden
Pew who who’s done well considering he uh he dropped the ball to start with line up ball on the top for Edwards Thomas Ah that’s more like it from nevit making up for it Austin neit pins his ears back Austin neit oh look at him go Austin never how you like
That from Zero to Hero that’s how quickly sport can change he had his he was on his haunches a few seconds ago having watched the ball bounce out and then he just finds half a gap Austin nevit and then it’s a foot race which only he
Is going to win oh that’s a lovely moment Austin never a little clap to himself well done young man good stuff Thomas with the conversion that’s a good kick as well well just just under 10 minutes to go another cracker of the score and London s Central just got to be slightly
Careful Miss Miss tackles in there oh but about two minutes I I’m I’m hearing from the ref’s clock so slightly less time than potentially we see on our clock but we’ll have to keep going always in ball reset I wonder if they can go from here where they’ve got the appetite to
Good offload Matt cell who uh for me has been one of the standout performers in this Midland Central side they’re going to come wide Cunningham who Unleashed something in the first half they go again Thomas ricochets and slightly high says the referee Diamond I4 carry from him ball across brilliant
Half a gap there Bridge thought he found something was snagged going to come all the way back the referee’s not happy with that high shot maybe too little too late but this Midland Central side certainly showing how uh how much appetite they have to uh to run the ball from Deep 17v
Tackle and there Thomas the city of of Oxford lad is going to push this down the left hand touch line line is yours green halfway send me to line fellas Thomas again little delay on the pass from Randall one of our Tri scorers today cunning him good tackles coming in
From London South Central but as is they won’t they’ve stayed well on their feet Good carry again Cunningham with the attempted pass it’s been spoiled has to go back and collect it Thomas Harry buy punches half a hole Jake Roberts again Thomas and and Cunningham Charlie Morgan Stevens playing with the ball just
Outside their own 22 they need a little bit more if they’re going to end this game on a high Midland Central oh brilliantly stolen the yardage up the field they come right they go oh the offload is ambitious and probably is too much and the referee might say that’s enough he
Does what a another exhibition of school boy rugby London South Central and Midland Central duking it out a really good contest but perhaps deservedly so the winners the men in green final score London South Central 31 Midland Central 19 has he got enough B this on [Applause] MAR he’s land it going to sing it to score in the corner quick the of the back Well uh good afternoon just about 40 minutes past 12 and we uh underway in the uh third game of uh the day it’s Leicester Tigers versus Bristol Bears it’s Leicester Tigers versus Bristol Bears here in this uh third game R and uh it will be Finn fielder who will get us
Underway here for the Bears we’ve had 93 points in the uh first two games here at Kings home let’s hope for a few more in this one move 11 Leicester and Bristol to uh teams that have been right to the very top of this competition over the last few [Applause] years
Leicester who get the chance to clear their lines first through um Jack Dickens Brother Sam has been competing with him for the nine shirt throughout the year uh he’s a traveling reserve for the Tigers this afternoon it’s uh Jack who gets the start and we’ll get another go at this box kick hopefully
Looking for a little bit more distance on this one he will get that goes all the way back to tomb in the man from Mountain Ash who collects it the first time of asking and Away goes Yan Davidson Kile and fin Fielder linking up there nine and 10 first time those two have
Uh been in that sort of partnership at this level the ball is swiped though away and Harvey and Kumer has got it Leicester Tigers outside Center who’s performed so well this season Norwich school he’s played every game barely missed a minute Asen krumer an integral part to this leester Tigers Cog thrall
Another man who ever present in the Leer tiger side at the moment since coming back from injury Bristal Bears though snubbed the ball back it’s gone back and forth in this Midfield battle so far Fielder looks to potentially find a bit more plastic pitching behind this ball
Potentially will drive all the way yes it will so they’ll come back for the scram Fielder just overcooking it slightly it’s little nudging behind boun’s a funny way I think he was looking for touch but instead it’s gone all the way out shephered by Tom thrall that’ll be an
Interesting battle this afternoon thrall against Fielder to uh tens who have kept their place from uh last year’s competition throw full Mist the England summer T to South Africa in the first few Academy games of this season with a foot injury but he’s uh back playing and
Back in the saddle of this uh leester tiger horse look to potentially pull some strings if uh the pack can get this right Bronson mows Jamie longar and tubuna macka up against Yan Davidson Jacob Hudson and Jack Parkinson for this first scrum uh few changes to let you know of
Leicester the more considerable uh Josh Bru has pulled out late on unfortunately so George Marsh has been moved to the six shirt well the F shirt uh and Tes skner comes in wearing D and uh Sam bird is onto the bench wearing the letter s Lester Tigers uh steeped in history
Using uh the letters on the back of shirts as they did many many many moons ago that tradition kept by their Academy side to the joys of commentators around the world that have to do a bit of decoding before realizing who’s got the ball set fun and game
GES Dickens with the put in it comes back to Willet but Dickens will take it from the base and here’s en Kumer en Kumer potentially ushered into Touch by BOS off yes he is and a little tap from a and BOS off to boot guys end of the
L two uh heavy weights in the back line up against each other it was a good initial bit of tackling from Victor War snip up against his opposite man and bosov did the rest by ushering him to touch now gy gets it back down and here comes hock who’s thumped in the Midfield
Goodness me what a shot that was from Tom thrall near he took the mullet off his head and now away go Bristol through tomb in who’s stepping this way and that Bowen as he got the gas for the outside he’ll step back infield bosov up with him G quick ball and there’s olle
[Applause] Russell going to go down this side hudon good defense from Leicester after that initial opening burst from boen there’s Kieran Hill wearing seven only under 17 but gets a start here this afternoon key very happy to take the quick penalty and they weren’t five key still going K’s got
That well what a story for the youngster makes his way into the starting 15 after a plague of injuries to Bristol Bears scrum half Department Ted Phillips injured oen Pascal injured Oscar green coming back from illness so Kai gy wears the nine shirt this afternoon and gets the score quick
Thinking of him here it was that little step and dive and move and he gets the first score harre College lad scored four tries in the Welsh Cup final at the principality stadium so knows where to find the whitewash at Big occasions and a chance now for uh Finn Fielder to have the
Extras he does of course he does he’s uh got an 86% conversion rate has fin field in the academy league so far this season and you can see why that was a lovely strike this was the uh the quick thinking from gy saw the penalty Advantage was more H more than happy
To take the penalty and as ler Tigers were backtracking 10 m gy was progressing the 10 thank that kick from thrall I think has gone straight into touch so we’ll come back for a scrum a compound of errors as uh Bristol will get the uh the set piece bang on
Halfway both these sides come into this game in extremely mixed form guys that last one fantastic Bristol lost their last run out to exitor 3139 last weekend Midland Central were downed by Leicester uh last week 3317 both teams of 13 lost three B set so fine thems in this uh hold L
Final playoff fixture hold that n nine missing next time his Fielder gives it off bow and I think they’re in again yes they are Bristol bear they can make it to the line they will it’s Josh Shephard who’s finding a good habit of scoring tries at the moment that’s his fifth in two
Games scored uh four Freddy just take I against Chiefs last weekend he’s got another here good bit of interplay there between hock and Fielder and boing with the quick hands and even quicker mind to offload it to Josh Shephard who gets the try was a quick double for Bristol that
Sets them apart in the opening 10 minutes or so here at King’s home Fielder this a harder nudge than his uh previous attempt and it’s uh just short and wide as I was boasting about his Kick Kicking position ages I’ve stitched him up how it just holding the ball as long
As he possibly could and that pass from boing is really nice sheer I think was looking around to see if bone was still alongside him potentially worried that he wouldn’t be able to make the white wash but he did hly Russell collects the restart regathered Leicester looking for a way
Back into this game and they’ll get it that’s good work on the ground by who else but Ralphie Willer their Captain leads from the front does the Brooksby Melton boy natural leader hasn’t missed a training session according to Academy manager Dave wils that sort of player that bleeds Leicester
Tigers and his uh steel Ru time is allowed for leester to potentially use one of their formidable Assets in the catch and drive and formidable it is look at that racing towards the line have they got there yes they have Lawrence Ed adiran with an instant [Applause] response another of the Brooksby Melton
Crew hadan P storming his way over the try line Leicester used that driving mall to full effect if you cast your mind back to last year their hooker Harry Clark scored the most amount of tries ever in a uh Prem under 18 rugby competition 16 in the end that I think
He managed to score over the course of the seven games and uh that all coming off the back of uh driving Mall as you’d imagine and leester have used it well here some throw fall Nottingham High to potentially add the extras but it fades across the uh
Left hand upright so the score will remain a seven-point [Applause] game Fielder to get us back on the way of Clifton College little bit of miscommunication from Leicester but they’ managed to get the ball back in the end or has it been knocked on yes it has George Marsh just losing it on the floor after an impressive run initially power from
Marsh farmer power he’s uh only under 17 believe it or not but he’s uh farmed by trade his farm actually is adjacent to that of the young Farm yes Ben Young’s Tom Young’s that they probably get lifts into what a that is from Leicester tigers and away they go down this short
Side through Toby Spencer penalty goes their way as well number eight off Jack Dickens thought about taking it quick but instead offloads it to thrul who I think will head towards touch eight guys take the line just inside the Bristol half Leicester now they’d be uh well poised
To springboard and attack off here I don’t imagine they’ll potentially want to catch and drive from this sort of distance they could make it all the way now been brought down by Bristol and snubbed to the ball comes back for Dickens defensive work from Bristol but leester contain the ball momentarily and
Then it’s spilt and now out it goes basketball style from yand Davidson and it’s all a little bit messy from both sides so we’ll come back for a uh scrum to [Applause] Bristol these offloads came thick and fast from Davidson and then bosov called himself in a little bit of bother so the
Referee said right I’ve seen an a will come back for this scrum Crouch B set Bristol with the shove hold Kile out to BOS off invites himself back into the Leicester pack more big collisions come in double shots Fielder flat it’s good handling and Bristol managed to get around the outside Bowen sees some grass in behind the ball’s going to bounce unfavorably but it’s well
Collected that by Toby Spencer who’d come all the way over to cover that right hand side penalty goes Bristol’s way good work at the breakdown move 10 back 10 I think that was Kieran Hill who was potentially doing most of the damage I think it might even be Jamie hock who had got
Himself clamped on as well combination at least of those two putting Bristol in another good position numbers get a third score on the board sooner next time okay Jacob Hodson to throw in good arrows and down it comes Bristol look to hit tigers with a taste of their
Own medicine out the backs are called in and everyone’s included now B scram for the line I think they’ve got that see who comes up with the ball i’ imagine it might be Jacob Hodson who had it initially yes it is Hodson the diminutive hooker comes up with the
Goods the shove here initially was strong but as soon as the Cavalry joined it picked up a bit of steam and uh Bristol get their third score this time through Jacob Hodson just a Fielder with his third conversion coming up that one [Applause] Unsuccessful so Tom thrul will get us back underway that score from Hudson giving Bristol a bigger cushion to lie on at the moment scr Advantage blue this ball back to bosov it’s been knocked on it will be uh leave it l the ball little bit of Afters knock
On yeah knocked on by Ralphie Willet in his attempt to disrupt the uh jumpers for Bristol bears and uh Aiden bosov just making sure he’s very familiar with all the leester Tigers players Crouch B so gy with his hands on the ball feeds this Bristol scrum which is containing
Itself under the pressure of that Leicester Tigers push Jamie hock gets himself into The Fray off green Fielder decides to go high instead of long and there goes Ethan Blackmore releas blue Dickens ball flick back to thrall and and krumer and Samson shoot now with a
Bit of space on the outside but he’s shephered well by Fielder I think on that touch line good tip on but unsuccessful by Bristol and now they can really charge here over ball out to hock and BOS off just about gets there [Applause] gy out the back field again looks for
Grass goes long stays long and it’s just going to sit no it’s going that’s unfortunate for fin Fielder second time this afternoon that one of his kicks in behinds gone dead that one you thought for a second may have just sat up perfectly but no just a little bit too
Much a moment there where Tom thrul had his heart in his mouth thinking oh if I made the right decision to leave this but in the end he had 15 minutes left of this first half Lester keeping themselves in a fight with that score from Lawrence adediran
But it was three tries and Hodson giley and shepher that at the moment prove the difference leester though with this scr in the Midfield split options either side blackm and tight head too long throw for were outside but it doesn’t matter cuz it’s going to be another penalty at scrum
Time to Leicester throw fall will look towards the corner yeah a little bit of hinging enough for the referee to stick his arm out decent kick from thr and it’s Nestle just inside the Bristol 22 [Applause] that’s the noise picking up in King’s home as uh more supporters flock in from either
Side and away go Leicester now again here’s long year who breaks from the pack to try and first create a bit of space I think bristle have stolen it back yes they have gy goes digging Fielder will give this one a clear there’s a good exit good work from Fielder this catch and
Drive I mean it’s looking more and more ominous as we go on guys end of the line not not now end of the line and uh they going have a another go at it here from further out Jamie long not straight we had a contest your option the uh
Mo was not accepted by Bristol Bears they stood off it end of the line clever thinking OE numbers five well no it’s not straight is the call in the end I think and they’ve called for a line out my apologies Hudson then to throw all the way to the back too far to
The back but it’s swept up no it’s not knock on few mistakes back and forth to break up this first half in the yeah yeah the crowd is um as I said building here at King’s home it’s uh all below us so necessarily see the effects of it
Needing forward me okay on your screens but nevertheless this uh place should get pretty heavy towards the end of the uh afternoon and into the evening crou B Dickens now with the ball at the scrum already been a strong asset for Leicester as they build off it here and Away goes
Spencer been getting himself heavily involved as the left wing so far in this [Applause] game good pop off there from macka and Bristol have stolen it though over the handling is uh collected BOS off there was a bit of interference I think from rafy Willet was it not sure yeah
But it was knocked on by Lester guys give me one second this was the uh first initial spill that from Harry Palmer yeah and the pick up from bos off off after the deliberate knock on uh 26 uh few players just take a little bit of treatment hock is uh getting his knee
Strapped I think yeah AG look ahead towards uh you okay the rest of these fixtures we’ve got a lot coming up four left after this one Gloucester versus Falcons next the homide against the uh traveling ton and then it’s uh Midlands West against Saron before sail versus Chiefs and the iguan bath versus
Saints at the uh end of this packed afternoon okay Bristol are we good to go okay time on on five here [Applause] boys so it’ll be a Bristol scrum gy to feed find S key hock just about collects the ball Fielder Bo in steps on the gas shephards potentially goes for the kicking behind he does in the end Bowen chasing off after this and he’s really picking up pace and a lot of work has to be done here by Toby Spencer and he’s done very
Well has Spencer offside and brol caught offside two offside timing throw for with the uh was kick touch but was a good bit of maneuvering between Shephard boen it caused a lot of headaches so Toby Spencer heated so well did the norch school boy he’s played a
Lot of fullback so uh very comfortable in that back field that’s some scrum half too he’s got quick feet and uh away from defensive efforts he’s uh been known to make a lot of meters in attack for Leicester this season arguably the most they’re off the uh base of that
Line out Lester’s Drive is good and Tack and move Dickens plays from the base [Applause] leester still going throw for stepping in and out Advantage five Advantage five so they’ve got the free shot Here no Advantage coming late tackle back here and uh it will be Lester Bal Bronson mellow carry strong leester born and Brad is Mellows he’s uh in the England under 18 Camp next week as are a fair few of these boys looking towards intern Few of the England coing staff in attendance this afternoon and uh they may be uh keeping a Keen Eye on a few of these boys changes being made it’s you and ferns coming on it may very well be that Bronson mellow is the one making way yeah it is meow’s coming off it’s
Roll on roll off subs though so that might not be the end of his day doubt it will be leester once again catch and drive eight five out five ball at the back with a long year I Think still rumbling towards the line and they’ve got [Applause] that wonder who’s come up with with the ball I think it might even be someone other than longit let’s have a look at this it’s uh really good stuff there from Leicester they get themselves right back into this fix
Chip just trying to identify the tri scorer who many a body in the uh Leicester Mall look could have had a the last touch on it thrall’s kick is good so we play five-point [Applause] game it’s been given to George Marsh as the score guys timings
Yes and under 17 Marsh he’s uh been he was originally supposed to start in the second row starting it in the back row and getting a try in the uh Academy finals St blue but just as ler did all that hard work up the other
End of the field they’ve uh lost it in key areas here Bristol now with a Chance gy Hill who sto stole the ball Originally line that is cut by Harrison Jones keep it in hand Leicester doing their best to try and halt this bears attack gy looking to snipe instead gives it back off to Harrison Jones Hill Bowen is wrapped and this is a good Tigers defensive showing that has pushed
Bears all the way back to their to the 22 M line field it looks like kicking behind it Ricochet off tuban Maka but brist will get the ball back gy down The Blind Side pops the ball up Howick he’s going to get there can he flick it back
In no the uh inou touch has been found I think it was Harvey and krumer Who provided the an tackle on the touch line Y time off yeah just in touch either way it was uh going to be a tense moment for Leicester they’re going to have to try and deal with this
Line out inside their own back Garden as Harrison Jones is just receiving a bit of attention Okay brist take the end of the line take the end of the Jones of course still under 17 he was brought to Clifton college for sick form former denston lad and was part of the ler
Tigers Academy so playing against some friendly faces well former friendly faces so far this afternoon on regathered the referee got themselves in all sorts of bother there and potentially disrupted things to Bristol to make a counter Lester have retrieved the ball back Jack Dickens will look to put boot to
Ball Shephard lies in waiting it won’t get to him though it’s gone to shallow and Kieran Hill I think has collected it so they’re back on the 22 Bristol there’s Hudson already one of the tri scorers gy out to hock there’s the big man Victor warnp
Under 17 boy but he’s 106 kg 6′ three you wouldn’t want him running at you Fielder thinks about this way and that but decides to go himself hock the little tipon is is good Fielder again across the face just about collected but what a shot that was from tuban
Maka boen this lesser defense holding Stern fin Fielder and friends are going to have to think of something a little bit more inventive if they want to knock the Tiger’s door down gy Fielder catches it above his head little floated pass over the top is forward to Rowan Curry I’m in line and
Lester Pat backs and tap hands and see themselves into the half well it was one that Bristol started strongly two early tries from kele and Josh Shepard before Lawrence adediran got himself on the score sheet then it was Jacob hodon off the back of a strong Bears driving moall before oh thank you
George Marsh managed to reply with a driving moall of leicester’s own brings the score at halim to Leicester Tigers 12 Bristol Bears 17 has he got enough [Applause] [Applause] this he’s landed going to sing it to score in the corner quick and the clch of the [Applause] Fock has he got up on this [Applause] He he’s landed it going to sing it to score in the corner quick and the cl to the [Applause] F line to he marus Smith Oh green won’t need he’s landed it going to sing it to score in the corner quick and the clch of the Fist and knock my Back has he got enough B on this he Mar oh green he’s landed not going to sing it to score in the corner quick and thech of the Fist back marus oh He’s landed not going to sing it to score in the corner CH quick and the clch of the Fist back marginal has he got enough bend on this he marus [Applause] Oh he’s landed it going to sing it to score in the corner CH quick and the CL of the face knock my Back has he got enough on this he has CR kicks on marusi [Applause] Ohen he’s landed going to sing it to score in the corner quick and the of the and knock his back well welcome back this uh second half going to get underway fairly shortly brto bears taking a little bit longer than ler tigers in their huddle the wind is just starting to pick
Up here at King’s home wonder if that may play a factor in this uh second half it’s a small Gap fiveo Gap a try in it between these two sides we good to go okay the first half was a story of attack versus defense Leicester held strong especially towards the uh halime
Whistle you’d imagine they’ be wanting to inflict the same attacking intensity in the second half as they did in defensive intensity in the first that charge down meant that everyone was on side so Bristol gets to go again tackle now fielders going to clear and this time it’s
Away but not out of play Dickens that wind playing a bit of a factor throw fall little bit of miscommunication on who was receiving the ball and it’s come the way of Bristol vus scrum the initial charge down there by leester keeping close to Bristol and breathing
Down fin Fielder’s neck for him to get a bit of a shy clearance the second time round fell right into the path of Jack Dickens B first ground for Henry n Bruce who’s come on in the pack for Leicester who’s in the Junior Academy the tiger set up uh he joined as a Winger uh but he dropped out he then went to Brooksby Melton college and uh has completely revitalized his young
Career decided that the back row was a place for him and it seems to have agreed with him and he’s H found himself back in the Leicester Tigers Fray an incredible story proving that anyone can find their way back into this level of rugby Set Bristol though get the ball off the scrum and Tom Bowen tries to go racing away but he’s manhandled by en krumer and Friends gy onto Kieran Hill Fielder once again in the pocket looks for the little dinking behind he’s hit hard by Lester Tigers players and back there
Is Samson Sho who’s done well there is naner Bruce backwards Dickens caught up but managed to get the ball away and backwards that pass is good to Toby Spencer but he’s brought down by bosov good counter Ruck as well from Bristol and Dickens tried to get the ball
Away but it was kicked away from his grasp illegally by the refere says the referee and we’re going to take a bit of time to go and check up on Finn Fielder there is a good initial counter Rock by uh Bristol but stray boot enough for the
Referee to blow his whistle SC if it’s on your you need to hold that 5 me cuz if they pass you Fielder is uh singled out in line with many T usually are I think Leicester in particular were conscious to double up on tackles oh they on the defensive yeah
Around him five me yeah sorry yeah it’s your penalty okay Bristol water off please back to his your player kicked the ball in the seems good to go okay Mark there so we’ll come back for a uh ler ball I think number four that penalty yes it will be Ollie are you ready
Four throw fall not enough of an angle to nudge it into the the Mark is outside 22 so instead it’s just outside and Leicester will play with what they’ve got line out called by Harry Palmer hasn’t long been a part of this tiger setup despite being a local land
Only joined in under 17 so a year ago and has orchestrated this line out well and Leicester get the ball to play with and there is NE move oh and if you thought he was big tban Maka follows throw ball they look for that ball in behind Spencer good
Hands and Kumo spilt it Finn Fielder comes away with it thank they can to come back for the uh initial knock on by Bristol so it be a list the ball Mark outside okay is knocked on in The Tackle by Josh Shepard haran Kumo was wrapped up yeah time
Off few changes being made Dan Bartlett’s coming onto the uh pitch [Applause] here uh Harrison Jones who’s made way for number mind Dan bartett former city of Oxford College man followed senior Academy manager Alex guest to Bristol Bears he’s uh under 19 Welsh rugby league International so plays both
Codes an abrasive Runner tall big strong everything you need for League good hands and good movement as well everything you need for Union as uh Bronson mow I think is being prepped to return few more checks on uh few Bristol Bears players hello thank I just wanted to check
I King home is filling in anticipation ahead of the uh the next game the home side against the Newcastle Falcons playing for 13th Place in the uh league standings that game following this one uh coming back onto the pitch it looks like Bronson Mellows will be joined uh by Freddy snary of Norwich
School let’s have a look at potentially how this injury may have occurred oh yeah nasty that’s um Henry naner Bruce in cision with uh I think it’s Rowan Curry can we continue Alex thank you who’s potentially making way On um yeah it’s not it’s actually uh Frey lant point Who’s made made way under 17 boy came on at halim against Chiefs and made 16 tackles in 35 minutes it’s uh pretty much a tackle him every other minute which is uh pretty freakish if you ask me he’s also swam the English
Channel That’s all the information I was given why when how not sure but seems to be a letic specimen but s Henry nanker Bruce’s Collision a little bit too much for him to bear with Willet off the Base penalty given to uh Lester and they’ll take it quickly no they won’t jack Dickens teasing with the opportunity to take a quick tap and instead they’ll pump it into the corner we’ll throw Fallen take the line this a uh a typical chance for Leicester Tigers long with the throw collected well [Applause]
I think Long’s got it at the back they’re driving towards the line and they’ve got that it’s not long yet it’s George Marsh again his second [Applause] try off a driving moall Lear looks like Lester have got themselves back into the Equation thrall will uh have a chance to give bris uh give Leicester the lead for the first time this afternoon with just over 25 minutes left to play this is a crucial kick charg down attempt was decent but not good enough throw forall holds his nerve and nudges the ball over the six
Five this becoming a common occur Curr to see in Green good driving more well executed and Marsh gets his second of the day few changes being made down on that touch line for Bristol Yan Davidson has made way may very well be will bansy who’s come on was a late replacement for Fraser Kent who’s uh Fallen ill
It’s actually Jacob Hodson who’s come on nothing AR spokes there on the Pitch snary is now on as well shoot off boen now with the ball Tom boen looking to try and find a soft shoulder he doesn’t field Hill out toward towards Lou nille who’s [Applause] on Hill again nille was outside him but this time he chose to stick it up as
Jumper good movement and away go Bristol now through the Midfield will need support Fielder oh he’s dropped [Applause] it the pressure from that Leicester defense proving strongs Number Harrison Jones is on for number eight l number 18 Patrick ring is on for number five Rowan Curry number 16
Is Arie spes is on for number two Jacob hon let’s go let go Nel is on for Victor War snip I think so he’s into the centers you might even be Ethan Williams actually this uh roll on roll off is uh quite confusing to keep an eye on S thrall does well to keep his hands on the ball and Dickens will have to deal with that as well George Marsh but I think he’s got there there’s Nan Bruce and Bronson Mellows combining Dickens looking for the Bots kick gets good amount of distance on it boen backtracking and now setting off
Tom boen straight through the middle boen he had BOS off alongside him decided against using him gy looks this way and that Hill tackle and move Fielder takes it to the line key BOS off BOS off by name BOS off by Nature he takes a few Defenders with him as he
Heads towards the ground gy Ram saon Bristol teasing with the halfway line they get over it Fielder looks for that little chipping behind well picked up though by Dickens really good work from him out the back it goes ripped away though by Hill penalty straight off the
Feet Archie spokes I think it was who tried to seal off that breakdown this is great work here by Hill yeah I think maybe spokes is slightly hard done by there he’s dragged to the floor by Lester Tigers players have a look at this field that that little dinking behind was good but
That from Dickens is world class really to take it off his toes and continue carrying with the ball and oh talk about class that from thrall is a real Difference [Applause] Maker even I think it was Freddy snary actually who took that kicking behind either way superb work to uh get Bristol in their favorite spot which is 5 meters out with a driving Mall pending n Bruce goes up and Bristol do their best to Halt it Kieran Hills caught at
The bottom there penalty goes Bristol’s way bit of [Applause] crossing and fin Fielder will get the chance to clear their lines and head back up the other way with 20 minutes left of this uh game as a whole Fielder with a decent clearance kick but yeah that was unfortunate potentially lack of
Communication guys we spoke about giving them time to adjust your numbers you haven’t given it to them bring your player in just making sure every uh side has got their ducks in a row before we head towards this line out Arie spokes of Clifton College to throw it
In and the penalty goes Bristol’s way again pulled him down Fielder wasting little time to nudge this one into the corner bit too much interference at the uh line out for uh the referees like guys happy to compete okay go for the ball not the player spokes again this time it’s collected Hill
Brings it down move gy Fielder boen round the outside does boen go and there’s shepher and hock through the middle he’s being held in Fielder tries to pick out options and instead he finds nanab Bruce oh no it’s mellow in fact he’s getting wrapped up in his shirt as he takes the allall
On okay the advantage is over little kicking behind Dickens is it going to work out no it’s not they’re going to come back for a uh scrum you’d believe still more time off the clock for leester tigers as they have this most slender leads two points separating these two sides at the
Moment few more changes for leester Subs I Lester I and f that may very well be Jack dickens’s last involvement in this game jonty Nichols is coming on as is uh s bird who wasn’t even supposed to be in the 12 11 and 12 and N in the 15 in
Fact all the 23 uh when the uh teams were announced but he was drafted in last minute and now gets a go a few more Bristal changes as well jimie Howick is into the uh is off and it’s Ethan Williams and Lou nille now which make up their Midfield partnership
B Ethan Williams uh from Wales now goes to SGS College Center still only under 17 so has got another year in the tank of under 18 rugby Oscar green I think is on as well yes he year is wearing 20 crou he’s a very much a club man Oscar green bleeds Bristol
And gets the quick tap nille trying to find a little outside edge to do some damage Green big hits off Scen Fielder keeps the ball in hand Lester they’ve spelled it naner Bruce tackles the ball good work three Nicholls thrall looks for the pass in behind shepher is it’s caught no and it goes so we’ll come back for a scrum sorry in line with you okay
Thank this uh the little pass from throw fall intercepted by shepher but it was to no avail this Bristol pack without their number eight at the moment Joe Lloyd he’s had an ankle injury his dad though di Lloyd is here he’s the uh Team photographer he’s been taking photos of this side apparently
For the last few years and this will be his last game taking Snaps well done daa hold leester good stin leester get the ball it’s through Ethan Blackmore who was setting up chances for Toby Spencer on this side play on the Collision leaves Bristol with the ball though Fielder
Looks for that pass out to bosov he just about evades the tackle Williams brought down no don’t play [Applause] him five release green Fielder out the back it goes to in who tries to step back inside but is again smothered by this Leicester defense who have been absolutely
Relentless for the whole 55 minutes so far and field under immense pressure off that kick and the ball coming Lester’s way will is on for number one J davidon number 21 eth Willams for number 12 J hock number 20 green on for number n and [Applause] we more called away go Finn Haywood and friends the replacement hooker from allsworth hospital school I can’t penalty ler no prizes for guessing where this is going thrl nudges it into the corner in casual fashion aware of the threat that his bigger friends can potentially pose
Here 15 minutes left on the clock a score for Leicester now would uh really shift things Hayward ball caught at the back brought under the spell by adediran who’s already got a try to his name so far today out for Nicholls to Ben be good bit of defensive work from
Williams was LIF who’s Relentless and now Bristol have got it oh but they’ve spilled it and we’re not going to see any more of that attack as we come back for the the advantage knock on and a Bristol scram 10 minutes look at this shot now let’s be clear there’s 10 minutes from
Archie spokes who keep took rafy Willet for a bit of a ride time off good and Harry Palmer just receiving a bit of treatment getting himself back involved Crouch OE do present in the midfield for Leicester hold Lester o school boy is on the field and the ball won’t get anywhere near him because Oscar green is smothered by his opposite number jonty Nichols Fielder comes into play nine and I think we’ll ask for the ball here again under considerable pressure
To try and clear it he does well comes all the way back to Blackmore and now here Spencer there’s Nano Bruce who’s picked up a lot of carries ever since he join the fry Off the Bench and it’s aler penalty again penalty count racking up for Bristol and seemingly becoming their
Achilles heel thank you good defense work initially to stop ner Bruce but Kieran Hill Dove on a ball that he shouldn’t have and throw p is calling for the posts trying to take Bristol out of uh Out Of Reach Tom thrall a permanent fiction now Within in England at grade
Squads after uh starting the season with a few injuries he’s picked himself back up and now has an all important kick in front of the posts 38 M out throw for with 10 minutes left to play it struck well and true that’s three points it takes us to a fivepoint
Deficit now here at kingsam [Applause] Stadium [Applause] 217 2217 the Score fin Fielder gets the ball back in his hands and Bristol who have been fairly absent in this second half will need to respond that’s a good start ball back to nille through he goes making meters green looks for a little bit of space himself off green fin Fielder comes into scrum
Half it’s the ball out to Hodson who’s back with us he’s pinned down Fielder out the back it goes Williams to Shephard who’s already scored one make sure he keeps himself in field the little tip on from ring and good Collision Fielder out the back it goes again options are plenty nanaville
One of them Williams with the pass green Fielder on the switch there’s will bamsey it was a late edition Fraser Kent out with illness bamy Into The Fray Williams across the face shepher now up towards the 22 few more holes in this lesser defense than there were previously but not
Enough for Bristol to make a firm indent at the moment Boen racing away had options inside and out but decided to go himself out the back field good pass made and there goes Archie spokes now here’s the chance Fielder nille can he get on the outside side and rid himself of Lester Defenders they up to the 5 meter line green and there’s bamsey
Again Fielder always fumbled it and naner Bruce sets away now keeps the ball in hand tackle leave it there use Now ball booted all the way back and look at all that hard work undone touch [Applause] long the ball knocked on and Bristol now back on their own 22 after such Valiant efforts in attack getting themselves within inches of the whitewash there uh little handling error from Finn Fielder has set
Them back a good 50 60 odd Meters seven six minutes on the clock four Minutes Tom Bowen potentially down receiving a better trick M trying to pick his lungs up off the floor it looks like he is gasping for a as you would be it’s a big expansive pitch here at Kings home and the synthetic surface lends itself to running rugby in we’ve
Had our fair share of uh slaming efforts from Bo in who’s return kicks and found outside edges well throughout the course of today Wales under 18’s player of [Applause] course now this is a really important scram it’s not been the 4te of Bristol Bears so far this afternoon it’s been lesters to boast the uh strong scrumming game and Bristol that need it most at the moment the ball fed in by Oscar green and it’s going to come out his way
Fielder an escaping run from Aiden bosov showing his experience a man who’s already played a fair amount of senior rugby having started for Bristol Bears against ex Chiefs in the Prem rby cup a couple weeks ago boen all the way out to Harrison Jones who’s nearly ushered into
Touch but he’s done really well to keep the ball in play and give it off to Owen Williams never survived on the body not the ball there’s bamsey Fielder looks for that cross field kick over to Shephard that combination worked so well last weekend three tries came off the field a kick to
A shepher hand but this time it just does not stick too long and straight out of play come for back for this uh line out it will be thrown in by Finn Haywood Crystal compete but not enough and uh doesn’t matter though cuz the throw Wayward scrum for
Bristol now could this be where the match has won and [Applause] lost [Applause] Set green Fielder Williams it’s back out to Shephard picked up by Nanaville a boot goes flying in the air Fielder out the back door here’s boen who tries to straighten and gives the ball to Jacob Hudson off green Fielder flat pass off green it come aded daran’s told that he can’t get near it Hill potentially looking for the
Offload off the deck instead he kicks it in hand two minutes left on the clock green to Fielder F pass to bamy Green tries to go on his own and potentially could get caught Out Fielder com comes into play nine and there’s Dan Bartlett Fielder floated ball there’s space out here could they use the pass it’s shephard I think who’s made the Meters the ball is lesters holding on what a moment clear LIF it kind of sums up how this game has gone Bristol Bears fluent in attack but when it comes to the Red Zone leester dominant thrall does the honors gives it a kick and Boots it into the
Shed Lester Tigers Prevail they come back from a two scor deficit to overcome Bristol Bears suppe get behind your teams leester through aded Dean and George Marsh the back row proving boastful in the tri Department Josh Shepard kyile and Jacob hodon their efforts weren’t enough and at the end of the day it’s the boot of Tom thrall which makes the difference his
Penalty see lesser Tigers pass a score meant that Bristol had to go for broke and they fell short final score here at Kings home Leicester Tigers 22 Bristol Bears 17 well play boys has he got enough B This he landed it not going to sing it to score in the corner CH quick and the clch of the Fist unlock my Back Spe well here we go we are back with a little bit of here we go we are back on uh Premiership under 18 League finals Duty they say that you should uh really they say that you should really judge who you are uh by your 13th and
14th the worst placed uh teams in the competition playing and that’s who they are at the moment release green okay so we are back underway uh approaching halfway through the competition tackle release gluster versus Newcastle Falcons cluster in the red Newcastle in the green Rio e banks with the Up and
Under gathered by Sam Graham kick downfield is from Joe Davis [Applause] good tackle in Midfield from OE [Applause] Ren beckman’s uh trying to push his Way Forward by Sam Graham again the Durham school lad gloss to go behind the Screen Joe Davis Barnard Castle school and the director of rugby there is Won Lee Dixon I’m sure many of you will remember from his uh Northampton Saints in England time I’m sure Joe Davis is getting a few words in his ear from Lee Dixon Rio at nine for for gler and firing the ball out but unfortunately too quickly too fast for take 40 at fly half and the ball is Spill and we’ll we’ll have a Scrum Woody walk who made the Mistake in scrum time Billy kurur Lake Ruben Cummings and Ellis Allen in the front row for glester Aiden Stewart Ryan Shaw and Sam Graham responding in kind for Newcastle Falcons the penalty goes the way of the men in green and off goes Joe Davis towards that line he’s
Sliding is he there oh my goodness I thought he’d been caught short he’s there what an individual try from Joe Davis bursting forth look at him go caught everyone out tap and go through the Gap look at the pace from Davis I thought he’d been brought down short no he reaches for
It lovely score from Joe Davis he’ll line up his uh his own conversion well yeah this is the 13th and 14th theoretically best side of the uh of the competition playing for last place of course Newcastle Falcons having a long journey which meant they couldn’t
Start off the day so they agreed to play glester in the middle match but uh as I suggested earlier this competition uh has been uh it’s it’s a fine competition there’s lots of really good rugby and actually the difference between the 13th and 14th best sides and
Maybe even the the sixth and seventh is is not very much Joe Davis once again have a look at the way that he’s slamed his way through things Falcon is their win actually came against Leicester Tigers so uh there isn’t much in it should we say that ball missed by AA noo
Quickly taken by uh gler ball had hit the deck and uh touched the line so they’ll bring it back for the line out Ruben cins Cummings will take it just just hits the deck quick one doesn’t go five maybe yeah in front of the mark as well so that’s why they’ve been brought
Back Cummings top of the lineup four in the air pulling it down says the referee so a penalty here to what is today the home side of course playing at Kings home the glester under 18 side stolen up line that time actually some good work by Patrick hog but the
Infringement I think happened previous to that and cummings will the harbury lad and and a Barry Rugby Football Club good to see them getting a nod ball over the top and we’ll see that a fair amount today line out not quite working new cars are going to run it from Their Own
Line player is swallowed up and we’ll come back from the knock [Applause] [Applause] on you must work harder to stay straight scram deep in Newcastle territory TR scor Davis will oversee this one penalty comes and that’ll make things a lot easier for Newcastle to get out of this hole
Kick is going to make its way up between the 22 meter line and the halfway a chance for Ryan Shaw gosi Academy converted back rower the number two Ryan Shaw ball again over the top alluding everyone and that makes uh Glouster available to play there’s a little bit
Of space out here Rendall out wide looking good Jack Hopson twisting and turning towards that line he’s brought a little short gluster go again Newcastle got to be tight got to be firm around the edges here Newcastle they push the thumb is up in the
Air and that is a try a response from [Applause] Gluster short range missile fir fired in the end but again the mistake came from the missed line out and I think it is the captain C James who’s going to come up with the ball wearing number seven on his back two scores two early scores we’ve had
Early scores in pretty much every game so far he’s boys don’t hang around Tate 40 harbury college and long Levens Rugby Club not far from here long Levens sun is out on a February afternoon and tap 40 is knocking them in off the post been some really good kick under 18’s
Level good bit of work by Jack Hopson and then this uh push and go koo James good leg Drive the stone on the W man is uh is over at King’s home they would have liked that it’s a dream come true for so many of these players not just cluster players
King s one of the uh Premier rugby stadiums in the United [Applause] Kingdom and a chance to play ball goes out and unfortunately Joe Davis makes a little bit of a h looks of that one through his grasp and then into touch line out again a little scrappy comes
Down on their side though J balding to just about enough to get it back for Gloucester penalty though and he Maks thinks about going quickly 40 is going to knock this one down the line [Applause] lost to shuffle towards that 22 met line chance for Cummings again to get
His uh his lines right Solomon Shand is uh in the middle of this it’s actually it is eventually going to make its way to Jon o balding they come down with it big run from all Port all Port smashing people out the way all Port all [Applause] game
Wowers lot of movement at the line at time but it breaks for OE allpa and allpa he’s he’s taking no prisoners on his way towards that line and is gler NCH themselves in front 40’s kick goes across the front of the uh the posts no extra point added There another look at it as they they March through restart hangs High good Chase from the Falcons packet eventually goes forward which uh little frustrating we’ll have a another scrum yeah reached for it well did uh Patrick hog the captain didn’t quite come down his way Crouch fine stand up please
AAP I do uh I do like it sometimes the referees on these plastic pitches they they try and make a Mark I mean there’s a little bit of a mark M it’s not quite the same as on the grass pitches but old habits die hard of course referees
Scratching their Mark into the into the plastic Turf Newcastle put the pressure on at scrum time referee’s going to have another look at this there’s lots of cheering from the Newcastle side but I think they’re going to reset and go again he’s doing it again you see just putting
His putting his toe in this is where I want you to scram boys where just there I marked it oh it’s Gone B set bler need slightly quicker ball to uh stop Falcon putting pressure on he banks gets it ball inside look to so the man there was tackled a little bit earlier Jack Hopson felt as though he had uh people on him before he had chance to grab the ball referee didn’t
Agree inside ball from FY we’ll call it a very well-timed tackle CR B Set nine ball is at the back for Newcastle pressure comes on for this time from Gloucester and they get the the arm Skyward from the referee mark thought he’ll kick this downfield his uh left boot hangs High doesn’t go out oh my goodness and we’re on to it look at them
Go really excellent work from Hopson who was following up there Newcastle let it hang in the sky and it bounced back 40’s Cross Field kick this could work out Campbell no Mark is Taken good referee’s going to bring him back for not taking it from The Mark he was a
Couple of yards away so we’ll have another go Ralph Campbell was out here loitering Cross Field kick from 40 just uh hung up this this Breeze is strengthening and at the moment gloss were playing into it and that’s what allowed Hopson to grab hold of that ball
Eventually tackle comes in and bring him down another ball hasn’t gone out of play Ralph Campbell will get to twist and head back downfield he’ll Chase his own kick bounces awkward oh this is horrible for Newcastle gler through on their own line again Newcastle Ebanks with the
Tackle what a steal that is fantastic steal from the captain C James Shand is involved as well ball has been spill noes has got his hands on it knock on says the referee so we’ll have a another scram to put into Newcastle Falcons but all of a sudden just have found themselves in
Behind good steal that from James good strength to hold the two men off and grab it and pull it back they’ll be appreciative of that uh that maneuver certainly in these parts gler pretty good at producing excellent back rowers like they might have another one in Kao James water is
On little note about the forthcoming games as I mentioned we’re almost halfway through here uh this the fourth of seven games glester rugby and Newcastle playing now up next Midlands West versus Saron for the fifth sixth playoff and then we get to the business end of today’s proceedings 550 EXA Chiefs versus S
Sharks for a third fourth spot and then the final 7:35 p.m. tonight join us for that should be really good bar rugby playing some electric stuff at the moment up against Northampton Saints once again they find themselves in the final can they go one step further than
They did last year beaten by what was London Irish now London South Central little break here as uh injury is attended to we’re going to have to make a decision please thank you might get a substitution as well number 21 for the Falcons Ruben Dyer cumri and lad been a good battle apparently
Between him and Joe Davis as Joe Davis has made his way off so an electric start from Joe Davis great try from him he might not play any further part in it but Ruben Dar will be happy out of the Gospel Academy he will want to get himself into uh into things set
Scrum from Falcons is uh LED well out by Ruben Parsons Parsons go sideways rather than forward decent carry from Patrick hog that time D searching for that ball he’s going to kick this down field just about gets it away referee says offside make things slightly easier ball is kicked well into touch which
Means Ryan Sha we a throw into this line now again it goes all the way over the top and Gloucester can go again Ruben Cummings to it he does exceptionally well to burst through a couple of tackles Cummings all the way towards the 5 met line the ball looks as though it’s
Been knocked on no the referee says play on gler in position Again release green Newcastle told to release it and the ball looks as though it’s got over the line yeah the referee’s peered in and seen it there touchdown we’ll have to see who comes up with the
Ball I think it could be a second score for the captain CAO James once again making a nuisance of himself as far as Newcastle concerned at the bottom of that rck I did mention it a bit earlier and coms you may not have been here but
I did say that a lot of these under 18 games uh re start with the ball chucked into Midfield from a lineup many of them sail over the top of the lineup it’s an incredible way to restart a game of rugby just throw the ball into the
Middle of the field it does cause a lot of Mayhem but gluster were able to convert it initial thrust and then James right in the middle of there pushes his way forward bit of daylight now between these two sides Decent kick from 40 to add the extra points [Applause] yeah that looks as though might possibility of a knock on there referee said play on thought maybe the referee saw that as a Falcon’s hand in there that not the ball backwards rather than cherry and I was going to say CH cherry and white they’re not playing in
Cherry and white but you know what I mean a glosser hand re start that will work for Newcastle Falcons it goes the requisite 10 m Runner is noes D ball over the top spil unfortunately by Lloyd Lloyd was just had half an eye on the incoming shoulder that was going to
Be thrust into his solar plexus and uh unfortunately h spills this ball ambitious over the top from Junior Newton but maybe could have been gathered Woody Walker was uh was in the ey line Crouch by set Ria Ebanks pops up in the front row referee’s not going to be happy with that Reuben Cummings uh his head was up before the ball’s in almost said work harder pleasee preset keep the gap Aiden Stewart the said was score L on this loose head side for for Falcons
By Aiden actually a USA player a grade us Eagles a grade player lives in Washington state apparently ball is just about thrown along the back line Woody Walker just about did enough but then all spilt by Jack Hopson difficult one a bouncing ball for him to deal with and he just
Grabbed at it too quickly somewhat sticky this game not quite getting going really good score early on from the man is now made Way Joe Davis Newcastle and then bler of hit back with three tries of their own Crouch B set D puts it in eventually gets it all
The way along this back line work for Lloyd to do out on this left hand side Newton uh can only pass it on Turnbull working hard in close quarters [Applause] across the back line it goes that’s a good line fantastic line from hog hog with man with him doesn’t quite make it
Once again the ball loose and on the floor Captain Patrick hog picking absolute perer of a line there late on the on the run and that allowed him to find the angle but they’ll come back black Newcastle for the penalty Newton will uh look to poke this one into the
Corner Newton one of many out of the sedra school for the uh said 10s tournament uh next month should be really good uh trip up there more great school boy rugby being played up there rolling mall is formed by Newcastle Falcons and effectively so they trundle into the
22 referee says that they got to use it they’re going to come back with the advantage Newcastle at the moment with the sway s around the side with the momentum as they say Newton once again going to kick to the corner some uh some big Lads in in butal
Turnbull Parsons as well at the uh number eight could feel as though they could Rumble over from here with enough uh enough initial go forward referee is not going to be happy with that one they want to retake and take AIG Gap pleas perhaps there’s a little chat on closing
The Gap here take a BAP back by Red that ball lost at the top of the line unfortunately so release green gler have now got it stripped in the tackle as he went through Newcastle is Scrappy again knock on looked like a little bit of a head
Clash as well as they came through there but yeah knows to know certainly at one stage they were those two the ball spill and uh once again we have uh Medics and and water carriers on the pitch water off well referee is going to ask
Them to Let’s form this scrum get the uh the H2O operatives off the field heading towards halim 35 minutes in these games at under 18 level 35 minutes a half should I say Bine set newas would uh much like to turn this uh possession and territory into points Newton comes Blind Side now
Presents the ball Runners one of them is uh Parsons good work from Graham keeps the ball alive they go left this time it’s butal carry again from turble is back row partner that’s the loose part at the moment just trying the offloads it don’t quite work
Out decent carry decent roll oh I they might be there Sam Graham is it I’ve got it I’ve got it I’ve got it much better from Newcastle Falcons and it’s just kicking off as well there’s a little bit of Afters yeah it may be under 18 in school boy rugby but
Um you know the the temperature is still hot we’ll have another another look at it here actually good carry good awareness to notice that no one was in position in the guard position and Sam gr and the Durham school lad CA by England and went on tour to South Africa last year he’s
In Camp next week and uh he gets a meat pie to Skipper enough hurry him on his way the um the little bit of Afters we we weren’t showing you it uh it started after the score and and after the celebrations people are getting a little maybe we’ll have another look at
It here just off down here on the bottom left it’s it’s two players trying to get back to their feet and um well they’re getting to know each other aren’t they swapping phone numbers and just saying oh nice to see you you come a long way I’m come from Newcastle yeah you
See just it’s just Pleasant it’s it’s all fine it’s all good Mothers will be on the edge of their seats but it’s all fine conversion from uh Josh Bailey just to the left hand side of the upright the same to them another gossi Academy lad Jos Bailey can actually cover all
Sorts of positions he’s I think he’s on at fullback at the moment that’s uh that’s a score that this game certainly needed moves them back within uh within seven points a little bit of off the score off the off the ball scuffle maybe is that what
This game needed just a a little bit of a sharpener also good hit coming in fantastic hit from Jay Evans again more shoulder to the wheel stuff oh Newton’s found a way through Junior Newton pumps it downfield chases his own kick the ball is bouncing infield and out Junior Newton has his
Hand in the air like a a bit like alen sheir there celebrating that one lovely little bit IND individual play from Junior Newton how many plays Green good awareness Saw the space downfield then the ball did the rest it turned on its heel and bounced into touch better line out for Newcastle
Falcons this allows them a bit of a an opportunity in which to uh to push out forward they come Shaw I think has the ball under his arm more reinforcements come in in green to try and lend their weight to proceedings there is the line it’s at
Their Mercy the arm is out from the referee this is a free shot if they can get a go got to get players out the way and all they’re going to push again towards that line they’re bending and pushing and just about getting there is it sure at the bottom of all of
That I’m not sure whether or not we’re going to get to find out who scored that well someone comes up with it I think it is Shaw who’s got his hands on the ball we’ll have to have another look it’s almost impossible to see from our camera angle but maybe it’s
One we chalk up to the whole bunch of them all the forwards working in in as a group there even Junior Newton look look at him working at the back there trying to trying to push trying to pretend he’s a forward there that nice PS getting an
Opportunity to to have a bit of a a moreall but at the bottom of that I think I think is Ryan Shaw Bailey will uh get a go another conversion and this to tie the scores as we head towards halftime and he does just that 19 points a piece at King’s home scores Level score minutes yeah it is number two a confirmation of that I did call it at the bottom of that R sh the gos for Academy boy is uh has got his uh his name on the score sheet and we’re back we’re back to all level good game this although uh watch him
We are building I was going to say is that an infringement a penalty there perhaps and no opportunity in which to potentially kick it to the corner maybe they look at the posts I don’t know it’s last play Skipper yeah they do build that scoreboard it’s not often
You see a huge amount of it at at this level maybe on finals day you know you well I don’t know you you do want to win the game I suppose but I’ve seen in a couple of games so far this morning and uh this afternoon ear this afternoon
Penalties not being taken when points could be added butth take 40 he’s got other ideas that’s a quick Swig of water and then places the ball on the T fory slides it in with his left Boot and the advantage just is gluster at halftime interestingly Bois this one Gloucester 22 Newcastle Falcons 19 As he got [Applause] Enough he’s landed not going to sing it to score in the corner CH quick and the clch of the Fist unlock my [Applause] back has he got [Applause] going to sing it to score in the corner Qui the of the FX [Applause] m [Applause] land going to sing it to score in the corner quick and the CL of the [Applause] Fist [Applause] he’s land to sing it to score in the [Applause] corner [Applause]
To sing it to score in the corner quick and thech of the Fist Max is [Applause] back has he [Applause] got sing to score in the corner Qui the of the f that knock my is [Applause] back go on so that is it the exact halfway point of
A very long day at um under 18’s Premiership finals halfway point of the fourth game of seven and tapate 40 Loops the ball on a restart Finds Its way into nao’s hands haven’t seen huge amounts of o nusu might do more in this second half ball needs to
Be held on to a little bit more I would suggest but a really interesting game emerging here good tackle unloading on that line gluster sniffing they turn this over uh pull back and there that will be a scrum to glester panic stations there a little bit Bailey having to work very hard [Applause] and Hugh Lloyd unfortunately at the bottom of that getting the the terrible [Applause] ball James L wall is on wearing 21 out of the satas rich score set a couple of boys in this uh in this setup Jay Evans at uh second row and comes Cummings to uh play scrum
Half decent tackles from the glester defensive Line Gloucester have uh done well from this sort of range previously in the game take a step they’re going to sweep left long it comes and just trying to find a way through Cummings has picked up the ball and there’s the TR scorer K James he’s going for his hattick he is
There well a lot of power and strength to get to the line excellent score from C James really when he shouldn’t have done have a look look at it here as it as it makes its way out 40 Ducks under the uh The Tackle comings with a little offload
Look at the way he holds himself there and stays on his feet and Petes his way towards that line three tries from CAO James another hatrick we’ve only had one hattick uh today London South Central uh getting us off and rolling on the hat tricks stakes and and coo James obl
That’s another uh three try score take 40 play lovely little bit of improvisation the ball falling off the te as he started his run little skip inside and doesn’t quite able to uh to pull it off it would have been very clever if he had done scoreboard is Wrong timing gathered underneath it Solomon Shand with the restart and safe hands for uh for Gloucester James Lil wall will thump It Forward timing of the tackle was brilliant for Hopson Newcastle just about done enough and oh there’s a bit of space here if this ball bounces in field Lil wall is
Going to scarper after this one it has just about makes the line what a decent kick that is from Reuben D the score at the moment uh glester 27 Newcastle 19 our score bug just needs a little bit of updating 2719 though at the moment Newcastle going to try and hit back
Glester with the couple of early well one early try and to add to that penalty at the end into the first half one go Newcastle geted it they’re going to roll it a bit further referee asking allowing people to stay in Newcastle Lurch towards that line they’re over [Applause] again it’s Ryan Shaw Again well if it works well the first time try and do it again it’s pretty tricky to organize all eight people in coordination like this and Falcons have done it a couple of times see Gloucester trying to make uh get in the way trying to disrupt things
But really Ryan Shaw in control hand on the tiller over the line jobs are Gooden Josh Bailey with the attempt at the conversion up here on the right hand side he pushes it to the left of the uh the upright so just a five-point gain for Newcastle so 2724 this game
Continues to rock one way then the other this the most recent of scores not dissimilar to uh previous ones in this [Applause] Game little stop in the game as uh we just have a look at the uh the Falcon’s Winger Ole Stanley he was a late addition to this setup the barard castle lad and he’s uh he’s just taking a little sip of water the Medics are interested in him he’s actually come off
The field I think so there’s going to be a substitution he’s not going to retake the field Josh Farley has come on another gos for flad another good restart which means that uh Newcastle get a chance to build again but deep in their own 22 Newton’s ball has been fumbled in the
Midfield it’s been hacked through by Randall but I think they’ll come back for the scrum and this is a good opportunity good piece of real estate this for Gloucester to strike from ball just hung forward didn’t it again the uh the eyes of Bailey were probably just flicking to towards his uh oncoming Defender CR Bo set ball is pretty quick out for little wall to deal with just about presents it around the corner comes Ellis Allen Allen with a good run a good barreling run like any good prop forward should be able to do not bad good carry from Evans Evans
Stays on his feet longer than he should have Lil wall asking for it wanting it to release 40 in his backs here we go 40 is going to pick out Benson and Randall the ball again just being spilt still playing L wall once again gler have lost a little bit of
Ground now it comes 40 ball bouncing again mishandled Ralph Campbell this time going to go all the way back for the advantage it is a penalty to gler I wonder again whether or not they’ll look at uh look at the sticks what are we doing 40 having none of it little chat
With his captain and they’ll kick it over the shed another ball goes in one keeping count am we’ve lost over that wall and please substitutions cler number 17 is Ellis tent well I had him down as as playing the front row so obviously I’ve been mistaken [Applause] there Harry toy is also [Applause]
On Newcastle going to carry it out from the back not a huge amount of space in the uh in the in goal area to create the angle touch green ball please Sam green ball ball is a good it’s a good kick outside the 22 almost up to the 10 met
Line Alex Bosworth it was at number three harbury college and whiteheads Rugby Football Club he’s left the field now but well played Alex Bosworth it is Ellis Allen who comes [Applause] on ball out from lall 4y backline from glester with Walker in iten trying to find a way through
Shand good delivery this is better from Gloucester nice work in hand tuy on and into the action Lil wall plays conduit 40 finds allport allport with a good score early on in the game 40 again Runners Walker little step and go Walker has people with him good
Delivery Jon o balding balding is going to cross the line the Radley college man is [Applause] in little show from Woody Walker open the door and Jon o balding was on a tracking line half a dummy from Walker balding did the rest nice score and the conversion from 40 is good
Too pushes gluster even further in front 10 points I think now the uh the it was that in the first half before Newcastle clawed it back another look at balding Galloping [Applause] free you can imagine healthy support here for the uh for the men in red being their home fixture as it
Were whistle is gone because uh we have a player from Newcastle foggin just uh reing receiving some attention just below the post just below the by the by the uh the Big H out there referee’s going to go over and have a little chat so rugby on its way for you up next
Midlands West versus Saron then we get to the business end of proceeding s sharks will play extra Chiefs in the third fourth playoff 550 for that one and then 7:35 p.m. bath versus Northampton Saints the final please uh stay with us for that should we really really
Good restart just about goes far enough Patrick hog claims that brilliantly Newton’s kick perhaps was a little shy but it worked out well but oh across it comes Lloyd off his wing gler have got the ball 40 thinks about flinging it wide and then comes back inside referee’s going to go back for
The knock on Lloyd I think in in contact spilt the ball big pass from Bailey all the way out as Lloyd comes back in as he hits the deck it uh it bubbles forward two leagues of seven a North league and a South League of seven they
Played each other once with a a by week for one of those clubs each week and it all culminates in therefore the first second third fourth six I say that again first second third fourth fifth sixth and seventh players or teams in each one of those groups going up against the respective other
From the from the other the other group so first place in the north group plays first place in the South group today so that’s how they work it out good run from allport was a lot easier in my head to explain then it ended up being uh coming
Out of my mouth but there we go Lil wall lost to get a little look at this back line again neat hands them all the way out here Cummings is doing well bouncing people off as he goes his opposite number eventually brings him down high says the
Referee 40 half a gap found by Ellis Allen and credited him earlier with a good run and eventually he is on the pitch and doing it the referee is going to go all the way back and claim a penalty to gler offside I think is the uh is the
Call what he kicks it to The Far Side the line and gluster once again are pressing into the Newcastle half ball almost works at the top of the lineup it comes down on Newcastle side Newton’s right boot is going to push the ball long Walker is going to turn and
Watch this one bounce back inside his own 22 Woody Walker and he he can’t put much on it it’s a gain for Newcastle Falcons most certainly they are the ones in credit at the end of that more substitutions on comes Harry Bellamy also the wonderfully named wisdom Jerry
Gets his first start in the Newcastle colors the academy debut many how many five line out neatly done Patrick hog working hard at the front of it all decent run from Josh Farley who’s into the frame but then the ball goes forward once again or does it says the referee maybe that
Came off Gloucester inside ball from Newcastle Junior Newton is growing into this game and starting to pull a few tricks out of his bag here’s the double TR scorer Ryan Shaw who’s going to wrestle his way towards that 22 M line Newton again behind the screen I
Don’t think he knew it was coming and gler come away with it dry scorer C James is going to almost fall over his own feet as he makes his way into the Newcastle half referee sees in from the side he’s going to penalize Newcastle for that yeah C
James with the respon almost a bit too excited here look he goes one way then the other and and then just Falls over I mean he scored Trio of very good tries today but that probably won’t make the highlight real decent take at the top there from the tri scorer
Balding gler shape well into the Midfield 40 L wall Walker decent carry comings Again release green Newcastle over the ball referee won’t be happy with the first person there I don’t think that’s the infringement it’s not the man over the ball but the first tackler LED in the
Way which made it difficult first to get the ball back 10 points the Gap so I wonder what the call will be here 40 has a little chat and then looks into that far corner and it’s a Precision kick and will position his uh cherion White under 18 so side 5 m
Out more substitutions I think a whole host of them Josh Hansen is going to come on kelen Freeman price as well Tom Ring also into the fold as is allo Clark and Joe Hamilton also on for gler and 23 [Applause] [Applause] wait Alfie cubby is on for Newcastle Falcons his uh debut at Academy level notice Newcastle Falcon doing a lovely thing of giving them Academy numbers at the moment ay kbby earns his Academy number today twisting and turning Keel and Freeman price he tries to take on the
Falcon defensive line but ball has gone forward the referee sees uh penalty not not releasing and uh I think we’re going to be back in the same Corner we were previously Captain we need to work on discipline down here that’s a second one in the 22 yeah not releasing the player on the
Floor is the uh is the infringement as it went down you can’t uh you can’t rip a ball from a chap who’s on the floor as I say yeah Gloucester same deal much changed pack wonder whether they can find themselves in front here decent grab by
Balding top of the line out once backs are horizontal to the floor they’re going to try and push their way forward arm is out from the referee so a bit of a free go this one it breaks up once again I think there’s going to be a yellow card here
S perhaps persistent infringement On I think Turnbull has been showing the yellow card it’s uh it’s he I think who’s making his way off the pitch tap and go from gler I think from range referee’s going to bring them back actually Tom ring is going to be asked to do it all
Again and Newcastle know exactly what he’s going to try and do Tom Ring bowling ball bashes players out the way no hands to the line they Lurch the referee thinks he’s seen the ball on the floor another score for [Applause] Gloucester another look at it here this
Was the uh penalty I think that comes out and that’s the infringement that’s the yellow card that’s why Newcastle are down that’s the initial Push by Tom ring is it is it C James again I think it is K James has four captain of Gloucester is uh kind of uh monopolized the scoring
Today St on the wall chat harbury college boy four tries on finals day that’s not bad when he woke up this morning probably would have taken that take 40 obliges all know not quite sails just past the right hand upright as he looked at [Applause] it big strong run from Tom Ring wasn’t it put them right in the right position and C James there picking up the ball pass when someone else could have had her go but nevertheless if you score them got every right to I suppose it’s only when you don’t score them that people
Start to ask Newton’s restart is good it hangs really high up in the sky and actually we’ got um Joe Davis is back on the field the man who who scored that Wonder try right at the start of proceedings in this game scram half from Newcastle Falcons he’s back on the
Field 15 minutes or so well 10 minutes to go or so neat hands to release Chris Kelly ol Stanley pushing his way towards that line at is high says the referee tap and go from Davis that run is Dan tul Newton fires it out decent run from Farley still going
Farley to the floor presents well long placement allows his team to get the ball on that platform Junior Newton’s got to do the same trick he does that passes to absolutely no one and that could work here Carlo James in and on it Lil wall they’re going to kick it down
Field awkward one for Bailey to go and uh reach for release 20 L wall was falling as he made that tackle he’s absolutely fine he gets back up he his head rocked back as it made contact with uh Bailey’s elbow but we’re okay kick down fielders from 40 it’s a really good
One exactly what gler need right now just to control the area that the game is played ined on theine red on the line on the line please red there’s the uh the tackle that made a few people wins but it was okay Lil wall certainly is back up and
Going make him tough at S Thomas Rich you know Bellamy with the lineup wisdom Cherry is hanging around at the back of that and he gets the ball as it sails over the top goo James making a name for himself here C James you can see why
Very difficult man to grab hold of Lil wall hits the deck okay let it places it back Tom Ring decides to leave it for one of his mates on the run is allo Clark ball is open the referee does see the infringement because that was wide
Open and Clark held on to the ball to stop Newcastle getting hold of it tap and go butterill thought about it Newton there’s enough uh time in the clock for them to march downfield going to have to do it a couple of times plus 15 points the
Difference going have to get the skates on if they’re going to have uh something toh play for in the last few minutes here don’t come up early Refere is going to interject here have a chat about the line out earlier he wasn’t happy earli in the game back 10 got to make a mess of it for them at the top of that line out and Lil Wall’s going to be uh dragged like an empty bin bag towards that try Line gluster unleash Newcastle Blitz but away comes renle good run from renle tackle release looked as though the pressure was coming but renle seems to have made his way out of it again the arm is outstretched from the referee 40 off his left hand Lil wall back in Little Nudge through from
40 interested in that certainly for a moment was allo Clark going to come all the way back for the penalty here 1 not yet time is Off kick toach from 40 into the 22 Gloucester March once again this game seems to be ebing away from Newcastle Falcons this is the uh the penalty not rolling away again once once again players getting in the wrong position on the wrong side easy to spot for the
Referee and Clark is going to throw into this lineup just inside the 22 up goes balding tries to gather it spills it at the top round comes Clark Clark trying to hop away from players in support well done is Freeman price Freeman price what an offload that is really good score Josh
Hansen scores at King’s [Applause] home excellent work from the subs there Oro CLK involved Freeman price making it work as well Clark here Freeman price just fending and bashing people out of the way that’s a lovely offload and and Josh Hansen the chelham college and all patian
Boy crosses the white wash at King’s home that’s going to uh lend a smile to everyone’s face down there the kick comes off the upright but probably doesn’t matter as far as gler are concerned buling run wasn’t it from all clar Radley lad that was the key part I think the
Offload really nice from Freeman price I’m a poet and I don’t know it Freeman price again cluster want more Walker Lil wall four punt downfield looks a good one from 40 it’s going to land between the Gloucester players the hard bounce means that it comes back One
Way Newton is going to twist his way one way or the other and then unfortunately the ball is spil once again it’s a shame but it does happen Alfie cubby uh just reaching for it long looping pass over and cby unable to hold on to it
Looks like it’s going to be set fair for a remainder of these uh these fixtures coming up Midland West versus Saron comes up next then s versus EXA Chiefs and then the final 7:35 tonight if you’ve got other things to do make sure you come
Back for that one at least but I would say the the Chiefs uh sale game should be absolutely cracking as well so so should Midlands West versus Saron there don’t actually don’t go anywhere cancel your plan stay here and watch the rugby again more good work from Clark
Look at him he’s a bundle of fun isn’t he off he goes Newcastle have snaffled it though they’re going to try and run it from Deep handling isn’t good enough and almost bounces up into the the grasp of Rendall Clark’s caught the eye all Clark tpr RFC his Beginnings
Relax uh brought a good uh input into things as this game has uh Gone on Bine set so two and a half minutes left in this game on our clock it might be it might be slightly less according to the referee we’ll have to see Newcastle come into the Midfield Cam Newton’s going to loop around and the ball is once again
Going to be spilt and gluster will get a go at it gler down this left hand side pushed into touch thought Randall might have had a go there he was uh agonizingly trying to shove that ball back in field at the end of it all renya just just with his toes on the
Line Kao James there again always he’s had a good game asn’t he C James I mean yes he has scored four tries he’s always been in and around the action wearing seven on your back in these parts is uh is quite the manle to carry and he’s done brilliantly today I would
Say Lil wall is going to present this backline with one final chance round they run that’s a good looping run I think it might work out almost towards that line goes Hopson oh and holds onto the ball so unfortunately it’s going to be a turnover Dean CL and cinderford lad Jack
Hopson just trying to get on the outside and then Ducks back infield but holding on to the ball quite clearly there as Newcastle in attendance good uh good position from them we go again gler have got the restart Lil wall they’re all up here on the left hand side tuy fending players
Off finds himself stalling on the 22 meter line 40 Woody Walker Walker again fending pushing his way inside Newcastle got the ball back how’s about that decent from Davis almost went again Patrick hog and it’s actually going to be a yellow card here game andard book is in the red so
I’m not sure how much more time we have left in this game penalty and it’ll be Newton will kick to touch one final har for Newcastle Falcons this season at under 18’s level can they do anything with it all is kicked into the crowd and gentleman down below me makes a very good
Catch I can’t imagine there’s too much more time left in this game ball again over the top wisdom Jerry oh he’s not the ball on and I think that might be it referee looks at his watch and says yeah we’ll have enough thank you very much the 13th 14th playoff is
Done and DED glester walk away with the w final score gler 44 Newcastle 24 kcks on [Applause] MAR he’s landed going to sing it to score in the corner quick and the clock [Applause] back E sh e go on E your teams for to Midland West in at 15 Le 1 Henry Williams 12 Henrys 11 SMI numbered Number number one Harrison Two Henry [Applause] 11 19 AC har [Applause] youngn so for the fifth and sixth position we we have Midlands West which was once wer Warriors up against Saron and it’s Saron through the boot of Alex Nagel who will get us underway is immediately spilt by Midlands on the restart the ball is back in field Sison
Is going to clamber through the hole decent speed also at uh a pickup Here Charlie Barker is going to push his way and his mates are going to join in towards that 22 M line Nagel thrown wide to Griffin mentioned him a little bit earlier in commentary
Once of uh London South Central now moved to Saron decent pick from Stuart Harris at scrum half and he goes again little show from him from Lewis young sarson’s moving with alacrity up the field now the backs get it go door opens WI wide almost in was Rollings
And bounces over the other side and we will get a scrum and my chance to bring in oh stand by your beds it’s the General Secretary of the RPA hello sir hello I’ve I’ve I I’ve I’ve given you a really big buildup there haven’t I to a certain extent but it is Christian
Day it’s wonderful to have you with us I I know you’re not going to be here for very long you brought the mini eggs that’s I’m glad you’ve done that but but what a day what a what a fantastic opportunity to come and at some of the
Future Talent of our of our game Christian it is fantastic and and nothing existed like this when I I came through you know what was under 18s under 21s back in uh at the turn of the century so it’s fantastic chance for the players to play on the first team pitch
With a crowd with with a TV with a you know a good standard of um infrastructure around it all and it’s a it’s a preparation for what semi- professionalism professionalism is going to look like absolutely ocean Caitlyn is going to feed this scrum foot Midlands West
West Third in the the northern league as were Saron good uh clambering by Jack Gilbert proms Grove lad and got a chance to clear they do downfield Saron have got it and one of the danger men Finn Newton for Saron there’s a few in this Saron
Back line they are uh stacked full of talent and there’s another one good vend oh he actually finds his Nagle finds his finds the ball in the opposition’s hand because I think it was called for and he thought he was one of his own but forward come Worcester or should I say Midland
Central another one of the Stars Jack Bracken England Duty last year for the England under 18 so pedigree is there Nagel is going to hot step his way or try to through the uh through the Gap and Midlands Midlands West are going to get the penalty it’s very um it’s very
Noticeable I mean I I don’t watch a great deal of under 18 rugby you know I pick up the old game but the physicality today is actually incredible like I I feel like I’m watching something not far off Premiership standard physicality wise there’s bits that look very
Different if I’m going to be perfectly honest the set piece the kind of the structure of the game but I’m astounded by the physicality of some of these players I mean they’re they’re 17 18 years old and and they’re they’re men already and and it’s um it’s a test to
That kind of pathway now preparing players but it shows you shows you how the game’s going to evolve indeed just how strong they are one of the noticeable things Christian is is is line outs a lot of the restarts we’ll see how it goes here maybe I’ll call it
And it’ll work well but a lot of the restarts have just been chucked all the way over the top of the line out and it goes into the Midfield which is a great way to restart rugby just Chuck the ball into the middle of the field and see what
Happens maybe we should bring it in at the senior level yeah I think I could uh I could talk about line outs all day but um good but but yeah it it that’s the kind of thing that takes a little bit of uh a little bit of time to drill and and
Get to the standards indeed it does that ball is going to sail over the head of Brendan [Applause] colic there certainly some names on the backline I was just speaking to John pendelbury downstairs who obviously heads up the the school boys he said this this sar’s backline have got some
Talent there some real players who are A Marked for the future yeah very interesting you the famous name on the right wing Bracken but um but yeah he’s he’s he’s name checked a few who he really thinks could make it yeah it’s I mean and it is difficult it is it is so
Difficult I was talking to well let just let this this play progress George NS who’s been a real lynchpin of this Midlands West setup NOS wearing two on his back today talk about him a little bit more as well because actually he’s come back from a nasty injury which is great to
See oh that’s so really good steal from ADC B ADC B makes his way up into the half and likewise another shift of possession because of a good steal there as well again good shoulders down and good running style certainly got uh people interested in the crowd they’re up on the feet the
Ball has gone forward there as it’s placed and the refer is not happy with [Applause] it was uh speaking to to uh Ben Le who you will know and and we’re talking about under 18s and and juster also you know how far there is to go in a it it
It will feel to so many of these players that that that this is this is the the the F this is this is the point which they’re all aiming for but actually from 18 let’s say to 22 23 there’s so much development for a rugby player to do and
You can be good at under 18’s level it doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re going to be great at 23 24 and and so much can happen can’t it Christian 100% count I’m going to answer that after this cuz wor Li out you mention it it’s run really nice so far they just kept
Been really simple they’ve thrown to space and and they’ve won every single one and it makes its way back into the hands of the aforementioned George NOS is he going to go NOS almost to the floor looks like he’s holding on to that ball to me but there we go the referee’s
Arm is actually out in the hands of on the on the side of Midlands West they’ll get a go here free go penalty advantage to them Caitlyn back line half a gap half seen by Collins Ned Collins for the line Caitlyn just pauses gets wrapped up by
The Saron Defender they come all the way back I’m actually in agreement with the refere I think he made a great decision on the first one I don’t think the the Saron sucker was supporting his body weight and I think he’s made the right decision the second one was a good
Example of what you need to do clear pull on the ball from the sar’s nine and he and he wouldn’t that turn over there um yeah yeah the the question about how far away I I I always said like when I was towards the end of my
Career I knew within a week or two if a player coming in 18 was going to not so much would he make it but would he not the professional environment is very unforgiving um it is it is um full obviously of incredibly talented people who’ve already been there done it and
They’re they’re progressing through and I think for an 18-year-old school boy to come into that environment is is very tough um invariably that they’re coming probably from their school where they’re the best sports person the you know one of the one of the coolest people probably in the school and all of a
Sudden you get thrown into a man’s environment with or a woman’s today you know with the the profession semi-professional and professional environments in women’s rugby and it’s it can be quite frightening I’ll be honest um so I can distinctly remember you know to drop a name like Lewis Lam
Coming in he was nowhere near one of the best 18y old Saints players by all accounts but from day one he had a work ethic and a respect and a discipline and I was like this kid might just make it and and sure enough he did and play for
England so it’s yeah long way to go but a lot of Talent on this play Midlands West come down with it and actually illegally so man in front of the jumper and turned too quickly too early after having put him up in the air he uh positioned himself between Saron and the
Ball I mean I suppose my my the other side of it is if if you’re not picked up at 18 you know it doesn’t mean that things are finished that there there are other ways around around the you know around the process if you like yeah
Loads of examples of that as well and like I said men’s rugby can can throw up different challenges and different players can really progress so I think uh as much as it’s great to play for England school boys it’s not the be all and end all and there there’s lots more
To come Harrison’s are are breaking Lewis young has the ball on the deck and adeg B he looks a a real athlete carrying players as he goes Nagel and into this Midfield this electric Midfield and one of them is Rollins again good run from Stuart Harris keeping uh Midlands West honest
Here off his wing is Charlie Griffin he places the ball back there’s a a boot on the floor Barker joined by his mates and forward Sison push they do a good job job of going through these phases very steadily lot of power and purpose to what they’re
Doing ad B unfortunately coughs that up does he no the referee thinks that’s gone backwards fair enough we’ll play on it’s impressive defensive set from the Midlands defenses really is really organized but they’re getting off the line they’re making good shots looked as that might have gone forward but we’ll
We’ll play on nine is Stuart Harris who uh that’s a St Harris has tumbled towards that 22 M line and offside says the referee I like another look at that pass from the scrum half there but referee’s head play on that’s the most important thing it’s quite noticeable you know the
Different kind of style of play at this age compared to like the men’s Premiership like Saron spread the field they’ve undoubtedly got some Talent they’re very confident in that but like they sent a runner into Midfield there completely isolated which would not happen in in the men’s Premiership it’s
Like it’s big chance of a turnover and teams hate that but it just shows you the confidence they’ve got you know I’m going to beat the man anyway and off I go umed got to say wer look really well organized W I’m going to say wer Midlands uh Midlands Academy teams
Really well organized defensively um again that’s the kind of thing that takes time to develop the trust in each other but they look impressive and um quite comfortable so far against against this this team that’s much wanted well I spoke to M Williams in the week who who’s overseeing this Midland west side
And and that was exactly his point the fact is that there aren’t any out andout superstars in this side but they all work really well together which is certainly a way to get a good rugby team most definitely oh the outside break from sarens and Newton Newton pushes
Himself towards that line but he shephered into the corner yeah he was he was at pains to say that what really has marked out this this Midlands west side is is the fact that they have worked incredibly hard in process in formation and looked after one another but again you know confidence
There from the the Midland fullback not to dive in not to you know that that the player obviously coming around across the field with a lot of speed he did the right thing line out bubbles along the turf adma B pirouettes his way forward forward they come again
Anding another go at this out wide Stuart har Harris again there’s a bit of space out here hands oh they’re going to finish in the corner the dive is there from Bracken and Jack Bracken does open the scoring for Saron and well that will please it an Al school
Boy get Saron off the market potentially had been coming but they had to work hard for it didn’t they Christian day a good finish on the end mean we spoke about the turnover at the line out it’s the first one they’ve got wrong turned over going into traffic s’s put the
Width on it and put it in the hands of someone who can who can obviously finish tries off and he does so very well but like you said they’ve they’ve worked hard to this point to uh get those points on the board what I would say is
Like I said I think I think the uh the Midlands team need to stick to what they’re doing they need to try and play a bit more in the right areas and if they do I think it could be a good game it could be a could be a a good long-winded
Contest kick is all the way out there on the right hand touch line particularly difficult for a right footed kicker depends if he’s playing with a fade and particularly if his ball Falls over where’s the shot [Laughter] clock I think we have to kick count a bit in our
Heads hanus Hall from the judge School in tumbridge oh hey they can kick as well they can kick as well as play it’s true some some kickers like great great player I play with Steven M he he kicked with a fade and and for him he he hated being on
This side of the field so it’s um he didn’t hate anything he just kicked them all um but yeah they’re impressive aren’t they I said the the development the physical development of these guys is is a different League to when I played I was I was 97 kilos wet through
At this age there are some uh some some large units it’s uh I have to say though England as a whole seems to be producing I was down at the England under 20s uh last week what a huge pack at under 20 they’ve got as well two Lads in the
Second row there 6’8 and 6’9 Midlands Wester going to try and play this one out little stab through in the Midfield oh that works nice work from Parsons isolated slightly and Saron have come through and they’ll get the penalty needed the second and third man
There in support to uh to help him out yeah it was a shame it was smart play the supporting player actually comes in does the right thing he tries to stick over the ball but if you just watch he just goes off his feet so we stay there
No he see he’s gone too far that gives the turnover chance and what the referee’s looking for is that there the pull on the ball it’s not good enough now to just clamp down got to see that ball being pulled on to win the turnover it’s the voice of Christian day very
Delighted to have have him alongside us so no we won’t have him for long he’s good good to have him uh here and complimenting our day the under 18s certainly will in uh enjoy it not not not straight from uh very well organized again see this is
A ploy that the SAR men’s team used they use their their plus one to come in and lift on the short line out they had a bit of movement ahead of that to try and disorganize but the Midlands team stayed organized competed well if you watch the
Plus one comes into lift at the tail and the hooker doesn’t quite put it on the money it’s um it’s good it’s not it’s not easy to be that organized um against that kind of thing you know we we would have weeks of analysis to to look at I
Don’t think these guys do so um very good yeah that’s I suppose that’s the impressive thing is they won’t spent a huge amount of time together indeed the way this uh season is set up the a couple of weeks and then they release them back to their schools and then they
Have a block at the end and maybe this is the end of that block so perhaps you’re seeing you know them at their best in the sense of having played with each other for the the most amount of time but it is still difficult to achieve some of the things that are
Being achieved today by these uh young Lads Midfield uh Midlands West build Dan hon R GS Worcester player play whipped away to the left hand side some good hands and some good running as Well good counter R coming in Legally so says the referee and Saron will build although on the offload the Midlands West player got in the way and called for it and sarson’s player gave it to him out the back and bouncing around a fair bit of that here come Midlands West
Through Ned Collins Collins has people with him the call on the left hand side this could work they go back the other way Williams getting over the ball referee says we’re okay the ball is presented there for Midlands West they’ll get another go at it Osborne carry from him nice little offload Leonard
Searching for their score Midlands West ball behind the runner little hot step work from Hayden Lewis lovely offload Brendan colly it’s a good score it’s a good day out at Premiership finals day the under 18 league and Midlands West are on the board really good play here now Bracken
Goes it’s not Bracken it’s the 12 he goes chasing good break think he Wass the right way here to the Wing I want the wing to just go to the corner here uh but he went back inside they recycled the ball could be a turnover here I
Think the ref doesn’t give it because he does just clamp down he doesn’t pull on the ball this is a lovely bit of play isn’t it outside break little chicken wing offload I would have liked to more dramatic finish we need we need a one-handed flying finish for that kind of try great
Play H Christian day hard task master n just you know if you’re on TV for the first time you got to you got to go dramatic on that it’s good play it’s actually I keep saying it they they’re very well organized this uh this Midlands Academy they they play in quite
A grownup way you know there’s real good structure they’re very calm and calculating what they’re doing and uh just really good rugby well I tell you who takes a fair amount of credit for that is Dear Old Greg Manion who’s moved in there and uh and has been a new head
Coach brought it a little bit of new feeling to Midlands West and they’re responding you might know that Manion Brothers care of course was down here and Greg what a kick that is yeah kicking a goal it’s easy you see do it you do it anyway Which Way Ned
Collins responds seven points a piece I was going to say you you don’t have to stick around but you maybe you want to watch this Christian I’m watching a bit let’s stick with it I’ve got to say Catlin and Collins n and 10 controlling the game really really well um I said
They played in the right areas there had a good break but then just really calm work the space to the outside nice bit of uh nice bit of magic to finish it yeah Brendan Clee into the arms of his substitutes bench always nice to score a try when there’s about seven people
Waiting for you offload from Saron or there’s a bit of a mismatch here sarason have opened the door they are through and Away Griffin tackle on him brings him down 5 met to go they’re wrestling with it the referee’s going to come back I think for a penalty he no knock on it
Not going to criticize the referee here but if there’s lots going around in the moment what would you change what rules would you change Advantage has been played there he’s gone 25 merss um it was a great counter up to which one was it CN no it’s Collins
Great counter by Collins that that dislodged the ball right on the try line save the try um but yeah that that’s Advantage isn’t it you would have thought so you would have thought so but he does come back and uh allows sarens another go at this I wonder what they can do with
It yeah come on we’ve biged up this back line let’s see uh let’s see something magic here is perfect perfect spot for a back line you’ve got a blind side you got to defend as’s a Back Field they’ve got to defend so it’s only four in that front line of
Defense and usually I mean the wer nine would normally be standing on the other side here to be as a first Defender that he is going to do he s me a dummy round he goes Nel Hall gets the ball back well defended good offload Rollins hot stepping his way through the
Hands are there oh Nagel just spills it off Griffin and that’ll go down as a good piece of Defending from uh Midlands West yeah again very well defended that the danger is on these kind of play set plays is someone makes the wrong read steps in and all of a sudden you broken
They were really calm again some lovely ball handling from the Saron team but just not getting that that ill disciplined defense that you want they’re they’re facing a defense here that’s really well organizing and they’re making the tackles so far let’s see a scrum Rock Solid where they come build a slightly better angle for the exit potentially Caitlyn will find Collins Collins won’t find the touch line Bracken on it infield it comes Newton along the back line Rollings tries to find the outside can’t get there again exceptionally well Marshal it’s like a really good cinema
This isn’t it you just can’t find any way through stewards everywhere ushering you into touch yeah it was uh again calm defense they look very calm we’re going to we’re going work as a line we’re not going to solve problems on our own it’s
Something that that I I if I was a coach that would be what I’d be telling my defensive line as well you know the people who go solving problems by their own they get the Showbiz moments but they tend to uh tend to have the bad ones as well line out again
Ah how come unfortunately ball comes out Saron Side another knock on it’s unfortunate because whoever’s calling the wer line out the the Midlands line out is calling well like he’s throwing to space he throws to space here really well just that transfer then just the that’s the kind of thing where we say you go into the
Professional environment you get coached like the tight arms in at the side you don’t let the likes of mar Tojo he loves to stick that arm through and slap the ball out um it’s those are the things that develop with time with lots of reps we playing against wildy old old men who
Who know all the little tricks um but no impressive so far they’re running that line out like a men’s team would in terms of just throwing to the space trusting the hooker trusting their lifts and it’s uh it’s good Sison though with another scrum another opportunity to use this back line and
Find their way through Midlands West have had the answers so far good tackle again miss move and Hall is half through into the 22 they go ADC B ADC B steps out of tackles look at that he’s a toddler won’t put his clothes on and sarens are
In ad B does exceptionally well well and then the offload comes and I think I think it’s uh Jack Marshall wearing seven a relatively late addition to things I think unfortunately they’ve both managed to injure themselves in the process I think you think they might have done he looks in a bit of
Discomfort initial break uh comes from Hall but then adeg B look at his strength to step out of tackles people don’t know where to put their hands do they it’s nice like you say it’s the way he’s kind of shedding tackles um he’s got that kind of riness about him that
Ability to kind of brush and shrug people off um and unfortunately scoring the try I think someone lands on the straight kind of outstretched leg yeah um which can mean knees ankles but let’s uh let’s hope not well he was he was a late addition actually to this Harrison’s
Setup he wasn’t uh he wasn’t starting and uh Charlie West was a late withdrawal and Jack Marshall comes in and Jack Marshall himself looks in a little bit of pain as you say Just Just Landing a full body weight on his leg as it goes through let’s hope he is all
Right think we might have a break in play in doing so Christian let me just ask you with your RPA hat on exactly just where did the RPA come into this I assume only when professional contracts are handed out how does it work itself through at Young ages when do when do
These players start to hear from you guys as as support we we don’t touch them under 18 that’s you know they’re still school boys at that time it’s not right so when they enter the professional environment then then membership becomes available um we held an academy induction day in the summer
Uh which is a really good event actually it’s held at rugby School uh where every single Academy player will attend they’ll get workshops on things like uh so the RIS with social media uh you know performance enhancing drugs all those kind of things that professionals need
To learn but there’s some kind of really positive stuff as well it’s not just do not do this do not do that which it can become uh we tend to get some for some either some current or former players down as well to tell a story so we had
We had Danny ciani along last last year who told told some interesting ones um but you know I can remember I can remember one year in particular we had uh we had Dylan Hartley Tom Wood and Matt Tate panel and Dylan Harley and just holding courau in this room of 18y
Olds just just as he would have done when he played with me at Saints he he was brilliant to be fair um no it’s wonderful it’s a good event it’s something I’ve actually spoken about potentially building it into something more like something like a junior combine so we starts to fight who’s the
Quickest who’s you know that age group which I I love the idea of I’m trying to trying to sell it to the right people at at Premiership rugby but um yeah no I think it’s those sort of ideas that we perhaps have to have a look at to try
And bring this sport out I I don’t know I mentioned it earlier in commentary but really good article written by Courtney in the times you know uh recently just just saying that rugby just needs to find a way to just sell itself again and and get back to the the brilliant things
That this sport is we we got caught up in the last year maybe a little bit longer in so many negative stories we got to remember this is a fantastic sport which has a lot of asset to it and a lot of positives about it and we need
To try and find a way to find those stories again and and and push those out again oh all through from Midland West is on the deck once more and unfortunately knocked on Lovely line quite hold on yeah I agree I I love rugby union I’m employed in Rugby Union
But I love it I’ve played it since I was six years old so you’re not going to you’re not going to find me complaining about that I do think we we sometimes focus on the wrong things like rugby has some incredible positive messages attached to it um the women’s game is is
Just exploding in front of us and and speaking as someone with two young daughters like the the women’s environment of rugby is brilliant because the all shapes all sizes thing is quite a differentiator in women’s sports so um no I’m with you like we need to address some of the bad stuff we
Absolutely do and that’s that’s some of the work that I do and try to do um but but we could certainly talk about some of the good news stories and uh and I think R’s a fantastic sport I don’t think it’s going anywhere any anytime soon saris are going to build from their
Own 22 Jack bracken’s going to put the ball on the end of his Boot and push it all the way through and this could end pretty awkwardly for Midlands West because they’re running backwards at a rate of knots SAR have been able to grab hold of the ball again but they are
Pushed into touch it’s a great exit you think that’s an exit scrum you know right way down here but the the the trust to go to the outside get the ball in this speed to’s hands it’s a nice kick through that that moment there I would probably say wasn’t
Wasn’t best advis I think at that point just hold on and give up a bit of territory and in the end it didn’t work out as bad as it could have but it’s it shows you again the ambition the the confidence you know if there’s some
Space over there we’ll move the ball to the width Teo adeg B is unfortunately he can’t run off his injury so he’s going to make his way off and leis Golding wearing 19 is is going to come on he looks an exciting prospect Bia I don’t think that’ll be
The last time we hear from him yeah I think it was a a turn of the ankle for him in his uh his rampaging run but he certainly caught the eye didn’t he and as you say there’s a there’s a certain uh riness about him
The way he moves that that has made him really difficult to tackle and he’s uh he’s had a positive impact a few times I’m looking at him there’s nothing obviously wrong with him at all he’s just he’s had enough did you ever those games Christian no I was never that good
Um he’s having his ankle taped up so he’s it’s his ankle no I never managed to sub myself off SAR will build from the base of this scrum into the Midfield they come out wide here to Griffin oh tiptoeing down that touch line newon trying to keep the ball in
Field doesn’t quite work out it is exciting this Sis’s back L well defended again um you know if I’m going to criticize anything about SAR are getting a little bit lateral aren’t they they bit too much to side could 14 come under there and go back in field they
Potentially could do but but they clearly trust themselves they back themselves to make these breaks was Bracken there with the acrobatics line out is intercepted opportunity here for sarens good Push by Lewis Young [Applause] short range stuff Young comes around the corner again looks a tough man to stop
Does Lewis young a bit of help from his mates and might be held up again Applause from his uh teammates someone from the Midlands West team has got underneath that now going back to the line out I again if I’m going to criticize so the reason
Why teams always run Short Line outs on exit is because you don’t make it easy for the defending team just to stick a big pod in there I’m not going to move and just jump as high as I can and it’s quite unusual that on the exit wer are
Going to a full line out which which let Saron put the two big Pods at the front and and they’ve lost a couple so go back to those short ones that are working would be my advice carry from Jack Marshall glad to see he is back and
Running Gabriel not wearing eight on his back for Saron Newton half a break from him he’s stopped and places the ball back Barker is uh going to play conduit allows Stuart Harris to get into position Neal out wide or glances the the hand of the Midlands West players but still
Going sarens now it’s to the floor good presentation decent work from twig although he’s pushed him to touch it again and seems at the moment Christian day that whatever Saron seem to be coming up with Midlands West just about have enough to sort them out yeah they are being stressed though I’ll say
That and and you can see points coming later in the game I think Stuart Harris around the breakdown a few times now is just look for that that George grian style ball where he he tries to drag the defender out and goes on the inside and what’s really impressive is the the
Hunger of both wings and the fullback for Saron to be running those lines you can clearly see it’s something they’ve spoken about um like I said the the Midlands defense looks organized looks calm at the moment they’re making their tackles but they are being just
Stressed um and as the game goes on you get more tired it becomes more difficult to do That Lewis young is uh going to come off he looks as though he’s got a bit of blood coming from his nose or his mouth so hopefully he’s okay get that sorted out and seen too Harry McNamara where 16 is on oh oh it’s a stray boot that’s
Actually whacked him it’s his own player’s boot that’s absolutely clobbered him in the face thank you see if they’ve listened to me they’ve not listened to me they’re going full line again six man six man there you go six man works there you go but again look at
The looseness of the ball there holding it out that’s the kind of thing that’ll get coached and you know you you don’t stick your arm out long with because it’s someone whacks it you’re going to spill that ball oh unlucky talking about spilling the ball unfortunately on the
Far side Lis Dean Smith unable to grab hold of it and this will be a scrum in a very decent position for sarens identified that space didn’t they on The Blind Side and it was on was the pass uh unfortunate dying on Ellis Dean Smith you think today you can’t get much
Better conditions to play rugby can you it’s uh glorious it is absolutely perfect conditions for mid-February [Applause] indeed scum goes down we Edge towards halftime 35 minutes in these games at under 18’s level and with the you know this is a big time isn’t it to score you know going in at
Half time 147 up the game’s completely in the balance if if it’s a try here 217 probably a little bit unfair but but actually that’s how dangerous this back line apparently is and and the risk it comes so one more big defensive set for this Midlands
Team as the Stewart Harris puts the ball in it’s a relatively decent Scrump for Harrison he’s just digging for that ball eventually it makes its way out into the Midfield good tackle on Rollings Stuart Harris heel presents on this left hand side dive for the corner Again The Tackle comes in Charlie Griffin
Prevented from crossing the whitewash and Midlands West will go in at halim just one score down and Christian day you’ll feel as though they’ll have a they’ll have a chance in this game said i’ I’ve been impressed impressed by both teams to be honest it’s a it’s a good standard of
Rugby it’s not over over structured over coached you can tell there’s there’s the the freedom there to make their own decisions we’ve seen Saron go 50 Mets on exit the the the Midlands team trying to do the same and not quite executing but the the Ambitions there and and the one
Thing I will say is I just the physicality of of every team I’ve seen today so so far has been quite even for my eyes who who sees these guys on the daily very very impressive very impressive they are athletic you know they’re not overly heavy they’re not
Just huge BLS but they’re they’re very athletic very very strong very quick and and the future looks bright Midlands West seven sarson’s 14 at halim land to sing it to score in the corner the the [Applause] KN HEI [Applause] oh he’s land it to sing it to score in the
Corner Qui the to the [Applause] fock [Applause] land to sing to score in the corner the of [Applause] the has he got enough this [Applause] land to sing it to score in the corner quick the of the [Applause] back l well hello and welcome back back it’s uh
Picturesque guys here as the sun sets in the west country and just just so everyone’s aware those aren’t players although to be honest there we go a few of uh a few of these boys out here today are as big as those pylons and we’re uh seeing a potentially a few
Changes out there on the pitch there has been a change in the commentary box that’s for sure sure uh my name is Will Roberts probably accompanying you alongside Christian day for this uh second half as um there is a score that separates Midlands West and Saron at the
Moment as it is Midlands West who got us underway but not 10 m so that ball will be awkwardly shephered into touch not the finest of starts to this second half Christian it’s not and I’ve I’ve been full of praise for this Midlands team just how they’ve executed really calmly
Really well that’s the first kind of glaring eror you know let’s uh let’s talk about a rule change here why scrum we have a free kick let’s get the ball back in play that would be something I’d love to I’d love to see um no it’s been
A it’s been a high stand of that first half I think there’s there’s points to come in this second I said I think the Saron team are stretching this Midlands defense who’ve done very well so far and I think there’s uh there’s points to come on both sides so it should be a
Should be a good uh good show fine uh he a Stuart Harris who once again has the ball in the palm of his hand and will feed this sarson scrum it comes out and it’s out the back through Finn Newton who seems to be unstoppable when he gets up to uh top
Speed goes through the heavy lifters and Charlie Barker involved the ball left completely and and Angus Hall still going no in fact that’s Fraser Rollins isn’t it both part of the England setup in the centers strong carry Josh twig n go out to Hall and Griffin and
His Bracken already a try to his name in the first half Newton picks up from the uh breakdown and races away inside the 22 Midlands West alarm bells ringing for them as Saron look to turn up the gears and it’s these combinations Hall Newton Bracken Nagel that seem to be starting
To out to fire for sarens no I said that they stretch the team well they they they stretch the width I I would occasionally think they can be a bit more direct uh but they’re clearly used to using that pace which which clearly some of them got to to get
On the outside shoulders I just think a little bit more directness will probably bring bring the braks on the outside a phase or two later scrum called options there for either side for uh for sarens they are flat as a pancake in terms of attacking formation this is um slightly
Unorthodox would you say Chris and not necessarily one that you’d be encouraging your under eights to uh use would he no you see this quite often now it’s it’s it’s actually really instructional if you watch the NRL Australian rby League how flat they’ll play just off just off what they they
Have as their dummy half and bringing Runners onto the ball and invariably here they’re probably going to bring sorry to say I don’t know his name that the blond head Center on the other side he’s probably going to come really flat off nine and just take the the yardage
He can off this scrum um invariably when you see them kind of with the deeper set they’re more looking to play out the back they’re looking to get to the width let’s see if he proves me right uh he’s a Stuart Harris that will have the option to instead no they go
The other way and through Fraser Rollings but it’s the same idea see how flat he plays to get that Advantage line the the the Midlands line defensive line hardly managed to get any any ground at all Nagel back in field Newton scampers away and oh it’s Jack Marshall who just about hangs
On to it after a little fumble it’s gone out to this far left hand side in front of the shed usually packed out with glester fans today they’re r on uh this near side underneath us Nagel looking to use the forwards initially in and out to
The backs Bracken trying to find a soft shoulder good offload from him Newton not so much instead it’s in the hands of Alis Smith and Midlands West or clear and what about a clearance kick that is see again SAR had got the stretch on on the on the Midlands defense there they
Were struggling but again it was all lateral was all lateral and even though Brack and obviously has those dancing feet and can beat people he’s going sideways and and I keep saying muster the Midlands team have defended it really really well they defend calm and so far they’re making the tackles look
Here he’s lateral cross the pitch 12 comes in makes a read good shot and then the bounce of that rugby ball you’d imagine that a surface like this would potentially make it more readable but chrisan would you argue otherwise rugby Ball’s never readable is it really never and the ball tends to
Spike a little bit on these artificial surfaces Hall out the back Bracken once again a very good defensive set by Midland West and all of a sudden they have a scrub on the halfway after Saron look really imposing in the Red Zone yeah it’s the same thing again it’s
Lateral and you know running to the angle on the outside again they make a nice read out to in and and make a good tackle I do think I do think at some point in this second half they’re going to they’re going to split this defense
Open but so far so good few changes for Midlands West Rory blle and jeremia Kenna are both on which I imagine would see the departure of Harrison Osborne and George nolles BL of Harford s form and Jeremy aenna of starport the ace College attached to what was formerly wer now Midlands
West see what wer doing here I don’t think they’re uh this is a more Orthodox formation is it you can see the uh the ability to play out the back I imagine the ball’s going to go to 12 with with the 10 kind of coming around the corner
It’s uh something that a lot of the pro teams use these days there it is exactly that chrisan day clearly got the script somewhere in his back pocket he read the play and uh unfortunately wor have had the right idea but the incorrect execution and uh players just getting to
Know each other very well and uh give a few hugs on the halfway line it’s actually been noticeable as well watching a bit of this rby there’s a bit more niggle than the bit of bite isn’t there I think maybe the occasion yeah maybe the the fact that these boys
Most oftenly play in front of uh very few people but today there are a few hundred already packed into King’s home maybe the uh the crowd and occasion is uh bringing out a fierce as side in a few I mean there are open side flankers
That I think would have a have a go at anyone at any time that’s sort of sometimes the nature of these sort of players um the N who always started yeah exactly it’s a nine that has the ball at the moment as a Stewart Harris again will feed this sarson scrum he looks
Towards the left he gives the referee a little look as well and says yeah we’ll have that penalty and takes it quickly not quickly enough and uh the referee was unhappy with where he took the mark from yeah I thought was that was a harsh
I thought on aenna he’s he’s come on at loose head he’s I don’t think he wheeled that round I thought he I thought he drove quite strongly back and and you know the ref’s taking a view but I don’t think I’d be as his coach I won’t be
Telling him anything different keep that aggression on the loose head side you got to You’ got to be destructive youve got to uh you can’t give an easy platform to an attacking team these days and uh it will be the replacement Harry McNamara to throw we saw leis
Young head off with a what seemed like a nasty facial injury in the uh just the end of the first half so the replacement hooker gets his darts right and has the ball at the back of this mall he’s going to let this trundle on for
Now as a Stuart Harris is now attempting to dig for it I don’t think many people really know where the ball is in the middle of all of that it’s come down and the opportunity is there for Stuart Harris to play with the ball he does that Hall
Nagle out wide Here Charlie Griffin hand off handoff try that is what Charlie Griffin does he holds the ball like a p and can Palm off as he heads his way towards the line at this cat and drive the uh springboard from for a good Saron attack
There Christian hold it like a loaf of bread I thought the ref was a bit generous I thought it could be turned over I thought that pass there was a bit dubious as well but we’ll play on and doesn’t take anything away from the Finish like you say he’s he looks a bit
Of a physical outlier on that left left wing he looks incredibly uh pacy for his size holds the ball in one hand a lot of the time which I’m sure that’ll raise some eyebrows um but he looks a born finisher Charlie Griffin of Harrow school he uh started this year in uh
Green he was part of the London South Central setup and uh has made the move over to uh sarson’s obviously London South Central without a clear and obvious pathway into uh the Premiership game as at the moment so sarson’s a uh a fine opportunity to potentially pursue a um professional rugby
Contract the uh shot at go goal is unsuccessful so we will play a 12-point match there’s a bit of uh there’s a bit of OE hustle Collins about him isn’t there is that kind of rangy runner on the wing who who moves frighteningly quick for his size it’s that large gate that’s very
Very difficult to stop once he gets going and his legs are pumping it’s uh especially with the new tackle laws I wouldn’t be invited to go and put my head near those legs when they were running at that sort of pace turn up for threee can’t run can’t run without his
Legs no well right next next score is crucial now this this uh this Midlands team next score they in the game if it goes the other way they’re uh potentially in for a long afternoon oh Ned Collins it’s uh the anical restart to his uh previous this one right on the
Money and causing a few more headaches for uh the Saron forwards who knocked it on it’s quite noticeable today actually you know the um the uh the standard particularly the restart takes you know we’re using a Saron shirt we’re seeing Mario toe soaring through the air with a
Twan lift it’s uh it’s a skill that that is not easy to do and and and requires some practice and it’s quite noticeable to that’s one one for developed for these young men oh and all that hard work undone by a early Eng agement I think it was that’s caused for this free
Kick Stuart Harris more than happy to uh potentially allow for Alex Nagel to put this ball into the sky no instead he calls for his forwards to have another go at this scrum uh look of his name it’s Mr aenna on the loose head getting told off again
Which again I couldn’t see anything massively wrong with what he did uh but it shows you again like you he had that really aggressive scrum where he got penalized I thought it was a bit borderline and then the next one he’s just gone a little bit early in the
Referees penalized so he needs to be whiter than white on this one nice and clean it’s the two substit substituted front rowers blle and aenna that occupy both prop positions Osborne and Perkins currently off the field this time it’s sarson’s ball and clean for them Hall puts boot to ball
And finds far amount of King’s home grass and it’s Brendan collie has to race back and try and retrieve it he does well this is the bronze gr boy very well there is Kenner and he’s showing his abilities in the loose he may be penalized scrum time but maybe maybe
That’s the aggression coming out off the back of a few Misfortune at scrums and Bracken reading the game like a book and coming out with The Intercept Stuart Harris from the base and is Barker carry now potentially this is where sarens do their damage the Midlands hook has been
Impressive I’ve got to say actually this game but he he fell on the wrong side there referees now the tackle’s made you fall on the wrong side you draw a circle around the tackle and you’re going to be penalized but that came because of such a physical carry by the Sis’s four
Charlie Barker when that when that physicality of the carry you tackle land on the wrong side and all of a sudden you actually earned that penalty for your team really good and now once again Saron in a cap Drive territory Harry McNamara provides a good start and Finn
Blumer has ended up with the ball but he’s been held up now it’s down to the floor twig is a few Blades of grass away from the tri line I think this will be down to one of the many forwards currently involved in this melee on this right hand side of the
Field it’s called out to the backs Nagel Bracken Newton Griffin oh has he got that yeah the assistant referee says yes well this uh born finisher title adopted by uh Charlie Griffin is starting to prove more and more true it was a good finish surprising it Mo here
If someone got something wrong I think someone got something wrong there off the tied went they went to the width again lateral again but but getting the ball to the width into this big man’s hands and that’s a great one-handed finish it’s close could go to the uh
Could go to the TMO maybe but it’s a a good one-handed finish and he definitely knows his way to the Trine that boy that’s a brace for him as Saron start to pull away it’s interesting you see I saw some of the the content from the England team
This week the men’s team and you see the Wingers now practicing that one-handed finish with the crash mats and Diving diving outside the pole but but putting the ball down inside it’s a real skill come from rugby league um but he’s already got it at this age it’s um ni
It’s impressive and it shows how the game game moves on andas hul remains with the kicking duties hean successful boy from uh the Jud school and tomb brdge RFC he’s uh certainly one to look out out for he’s been tipped as uh a fine figure in England age grade
Rugby by uh many esteemed coaches and former players Etc Charlie Griffin is well already making a secondary impact after scoring that try out to Finn blumer Richard who is not taking knif for an answer a good bit of Rush defense from mid west but it’s undone on this left hand
Side Str Harris evades The Tackle and Saron look to go in behind well shephered by Asen Catlin he through and he’s lost the ball in the process I think he caught one on the floor as well there was nothing that could be done about it it was a it was a
Low tackle he was falling so low he’s I think he’s caught one straight in the head there um Char Charlie Barker landing on him he’s uh one of the last people you’d want Flying onto the back of yck at the moment he’s a towering 6’4 lock forward as the Cavalry is about to
Arrive for Saron they’re about to make five changes all at once Tom Roberts I think is uh no it’s uh Matthew Branch Holland who’s coming on Alfie marks is coming on Ben Morrow uh Gabriel regist all entering The Fray that’s a change at scrum half potentially a change at fullback as
Well no it’s a uh it’s Fraser Rollins who’s come off and a complete backline reshuffle for sarson so Ben Morrow’s gone to fullback Charlie Griffin I think is at outside center now and Finn Newton’s been put on the wing Ben Mor Ben Morrow now of milfield formerly of uh beer School his
Uh father filmrow the general manager now of the Saron group has been a part of Saron for a uh long period of time his son Ben carrying on the Saron Dynasty yeah when you talk about a name that not many people will know but he’s incredibly influential Phil Moro SAR
He’s one of them he’s um yeah I think he’s the uh the arch nemesis what is he’s like the the master plan behind the scenes I think he’s um very the everything man as well isn’t he he’s a very very by account very very smart guy and he’s
Been behind a lot of Saron success it his uh offspring that we’ll be focusing on this afternoon Morrow was uh featured for milfield throughout this season see a prestigious School in itself famed for producing a large conveyor belt of rugby stars and prodigies so we wait for another scrum
Reset yeah there’s a fair few England players have come through that mfield team over the years it’s um it’s interesting to me like looking down the team sheets today and you see the the school names that feature Lots I mean s sharks team seems to be half of the Kirk
And gramar team it’s is uh it’s crazy so yeah again times changed when I was growing up it was all colston’s you know colston’s had an unbelievable school boy team times change don’t they but milfield has always been there there or thereabouts it’s a fascinating scene at
The moment the school boy action the uh best of the best playing here this afternoon one of which is Finn newon and he’s setting the ball up here for uh one of the new men on the field Matthew Branch Holland wearing 20 n go out the back Cole goes for the
Cross field kick Bracken is out there and doesn’t attempt to head up into the air instead it’s Tom Roberts to collect it and Midlands West Come Away with the ball through Alis Dean Smith Catlin to Collins and he feeds it to the [Applause] forwards unlucky a good attempt at a steal
Yeah he actually made the turnover but he fell in the Rook with the ball and as soon as you then transfer that ball on the floor it just looks it looks wrong and the referee’s going to penalize there was actually a really good turnover down in this corner by the uh
Replacement sarus and zooker made a good turnover but the Winger number 14 which is H is it Brendon collie yes collie no it wasn’t it Dean Smith on this side actually turned the ball over again he ripped the ball out of his hands and and rescued the situation it’s
It’s good bit of play the breakdowns really contested both teams kind of got got people lurking waiting for those turnovers you see lens to do it a lot these days you know they don’t always put people into the Rook but they have certain players will lur waiting for the
Opportunity with changes comes uh different line out operators which I think caused a bit of confusion momentarily for Midland West but they’re all good with their line out now and try to unleash George n replacement at scrum half is Joe Johnston he’s onto the pitch and was immediately [Applause]
Manhandled Harrison’s attempt to take it quickly but it once again pulled back NOS has been all action he carried around the back of that line he made made some good yardage but the issue is that he got he gets isolated and the Saron player he just stays in the fight
Number 17 look he just sticks in the fight sticks in the fight now he counter rocks really good play penalty for holding on on the floor very good and sar’s again given a chance to uh kick the ball further down field and head for a line out option but namara it’s caught
Well B on the back foot but collected in the end P new man reased with a good carry Nagel with that little dink over the top and that’s worked out really nicely oh he’s just offside how about that for looked until the very last moment as if he wasn’t
Going to do anything with that ball and just dabbed it onto his foot and really little clever piece of movement well as the angle kicks back back isn’t it Zack merer at the weekend there was one in the French Pro um he uh it’s very much in the game
With the way defenses looking to get in your face these days they Blitz off the line could be a really good option it’s it’s obviously it’s it’s one of those where if it goes wrong you turning the ball over effectively but it can have the real real attacking benefits and
It’s uh very skillfully executed by Nagel there unfortunately to uh to no avail as Finn Newton was uh deemed to be in front of uh the man before the kick was made so Midlands West have a good chance now to try and springboard something get themselves back into the equation with
Uh just over 10 minutes left to play B at the back of this mole through George noes he’s played patient and uh got into the uh Saron 22 but it’s a bit of deja [Applause] vu let’s have a look at that one again he he looked very low over the ball
There it was it was good Mall from uh the Midlands team they they got it going in the end but they get exposed right at the end of the mall good drill at the line out to win it we going to have a look sure this replay is going to go
Quickly enough for us played patiently there didn’t he knows patient but he gets exposed there and then the turnover comes after that it looked like the sar’s player was potentially not supporting his weight but but the uh the referee went the other way and turnover was
Given and want to get it mcnamar it’s been a Ste it’s been a half of line outs so far and uh this time this one goes the way of Midlands West Collins tried to play it across the face we’ll have a scram it’s turning into a little bit sto
Start which is not really what Midlands West want considering they’re chasing a lead no it’s actually it’s actually their ball um referees adjudicated that the first carry it went back and then the Saron player came in to pick it up and knocked it on so actually you know
Attacking position to be in Midfield scrum big back field it’s ideal for them what can they cook up here to uh to try and get a score and get back into this game it’s uh Joe Johnston the ball in Hand once again with this uh flat attacking line but it won’t be utilized because it’s more issues at scrum time for Midlands West yeah he’s on the other side that time he’s do the tight head for boring in it’s um can be an incredibly complex thing to scrum but if you think everyone
Needs to have a flat back and everyone needs to push more or less straight everyone’s got to bind and not let go those are the simple rules really and anytime the ref doesn’t see one of those things you’ve got a chance you’re going to be penalized I always think um we
Sometimes make it an incredibly complex thing I think it’s an amazing thing it’s brilliant contest between uh 16 incredibly powerful people but it’s yeah sometimes a scrum can be a lot more simple than people think another line out another catch and drive and this one seems a lot more ominous
Mnara already up to the 22 me line Alfie marks with the ball at the back of it and he tried to use it but he had it taken from him bit a daylight robbery there he had the ball in his hand one minute and then the next he
Didn’t yeah he’s come on hasn’t he and he’s been a certainly been ey catching as uh Jeremy aenna on the loose head he’s he’s kind of come around the back of that mall he’s managed to scrag the nine we nearly picked the ball up and made a bit of a
Break as well so he’s certainly made an impact off the off the bench for various reasons let’s see if he can um make a bit of a positive impact here against this sarson scrum so I said on this side of the field in particular you know he’s
Got license here as a loose said he’s got license to go get the get the the the Midlands Defenders into the game because if he can s swing the scrum around a little bit this way it helps that uh that Midlands defensive line referee not happy with the picture in front of
Him looks like uh we’ll have another go at it once he’s had a stern word with the front rowers um we have uh two more games after this one to uh wet your appetite if you’ve not had enough rugby already today sa Sharks play ex the Chiefs in
The next game um after a little bit of a pause um and then we’re into uh the uh meat and veg of our roast dinner Sunday rugby roast it’s uh Saints versus bath the the academy final which will be uh a big occasion for both Angus Hall talk
About big occasions big game players is he got there no it’s been knocked on just on the line Angus Hall seemed to do all the hard work and then just couldn’t get the ball touchdown on the whitewash he makes a powerful carry he made some good good decisions earlier as
Well where he’s just straighten and I said it half time Saron just be a little bit more direct just like they were there they stretch this defense even more great carry just couldn’t quite get the ball down she was given us a ball held up in the end so it’s a goal line
Dropout and Midlands West will collect that kick from [Applause] Newton and Parsons comes into play nine and it’s a good Collision massive Collision multiple players involved there Barker Reed up against George noes and Midland West completely under the Kos can to look for the clearance or the
Crossfield have a go at that Angus Hall will get another chance Newton stepping and dancing in field they come this way to the heavier men one of which is Barker Nagel tries to fly one across the face of everyone and Jack Bracken into the corner laser focused pass and Bracken the
Beneficiary I’m going to highlight the heavy way up front though Barker again there’s a little bit of George Martin about them about him he uh he hits things hard he carries hard and and there he made that big defensive play but then the big big ball carry as well
Um you know we know when SAR going get the ball to the width we know that bracken’s hell of a ball that flat no chance of the intercept and Bracken finishes it off but going to highlight Barker up front he’s uh he’s been physical today he’s been impressive um and sometimes you need
That grit up front to unleash the uh unleash the dancing boys exctly you can you can have the best back line in the world but if you don’t have the uh forwards to get them on the front foot it can be very hard to unleash them
Can’t it and to be honest every time SAR have scored it is because they’ve been a bit more direct it is cu they’ve won the game line and all of a sudden those lateral Runners are a little bit straighter or there’s a little bit more space for them to run into laterally so
It’s um no it’s good for them they look impressive as a unit they’ve got some Star Quality dusted through as well H is getting very used to having a go at striking the uprights from around that position and uh this time it’s good it’s uh 31 points to
Seven what about this pass though I mean it’s off the right to be honest it kind of shows you why you don’t go for a cross field exit from behind your own Tri line you know you you open the field up and all of a sudden that kind of play
Is in is in play um you know probably been a bit bit more sensible to to take the medicine and kicked a touch Midland West trying to uh potentially experiment in their dying moments in this game you’d imagine it’s one and lost so potentially s a little bit of fun with
It what’s that man Barker again I said restarts have not have not been impressive today in any of the games I’ve seen restart something teams need to work on but again watch this counter Rock bang knocks the ball back knocks that one back as well makes a mess of it
And it goes to a set piece and this is where you know this is where the men’s game is a little bit different anytime you can defend from set piece everyone knows what they do everyone’s a bit more comfortable so that that action there as
Much as it kind of stops play in this game in a senior game it’s quite important sometimes to be able to stop play stop momentum get back to what we know and and slow the game down as a defending team attacking team you want to do the exact opposite you want
Everything to be chaos as quick as you can mland West have all their cards to play on this left hand side the opportunities are opening themselves up and once again it’s Jack Bracken who uh read that out the handbook and gets his hattick [Applause] score well R it’s a shame the score line
Starts to look very unbalanced now towards what it actually was I thought there were some points coming not this many there’s a little bit of disorganization on the launch here I don’t think people were quite where they were supposed to to be in the end a bit
Of a speculative pass is picked off by uh a predator Winger who who as I’ve said he knows his way to the tri line doesn’t he even at this age he does and uh we’re starting to build quite a decent Bracken backline Charlie Kieran Jack all uh now that play
Didn’t he yeah Kieran braen Charlie Bracken Jack Bracken I mean that would be that would be some back Garden kick about wouldn’t it really and I think they’ve got a younger brother on the way as well that’s uh still doing good in the Saron Academy
Rank so some Talent there’s uh a lot to be done with the Bracken name and Saron in the next few years Jack at the moment proving his worth with a hattick on finals day Angus Hall with a monster of a boot as he’s always possessed puts it down the throat of Ned
Collins who tries to return it Ben Morrow does well oh braen could be in here again if the ball bounces kindly for him braen will he get to the try line yes he will it’s a bit fortuitous but in the end it needed skill to be finished
Off really good exit from Saron this which led to the opportunity they play that kind of old school wiper play out the back and you said the boy put the bit ball on his boot he’s got a ho it through of a boot good Chase and that’s
What leads to the fortune you know you do there’s the boots good Chase here from these two Saron players they put pressure on tackle going to be made here it’s a two on two makes it what you say then a bit of luck let’s just have a look at this
Pickup here with the tackle as he held no I think he stays on his feet doesn’t he great finish in the end does well does braen Ben Morrow was the uh Chaser that put all that pressure on Ellis de Smith and you’d imagine this might be the way that Saron see out this
Game Angus Hall with the opportunity to make it 457 and he will and there it is final whistle while the game was hung in the balance at halim Midland West were showing moments of magic but it’s the uh it’s the wide man for Saron Jack Bracken with four tries Charlie Griffin with a
Handy brace as well allowed for Saron to walk away with it Christine your final thoughts briefly not really enjoyable like I said it’s a slightly different brand of rugby to the kind of the the senior men particularly the men’s international lot of lot of freedom to
Play which I think is brilliant to see at this age and a lot of Talent on show as well I’ve got to say that I thought the Midlands team started the game really well you could see there’s a really good team ethic about them work ethic But ultimately that sarson’s team
They had they had some good structure But ultimately they had some some some real kind of star quality as well dusted through the team in the end score line probably looks a little bit unfair but I thought they were good for the win by by some distance and uh I look forward to
Seeing some of those names appear a braen four a griffin two a half dozen for sarson’s final score here in Kings home was uh sarson’s 45 BL West 7 stay with us as we have more rugby on the way but we’re going to take a short break as
The pitch gets a bit at [Applause] TLC s the score in the corner Qui the knock [Applause] back for e E e for for e for for e e e e for for e e for e e e e for we for for for e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e E for for e e e e for e for for E Spe E Minut under 18’s finals day is getting down to the business end of things the Gloom is setting across the glou Shire Skyline and we are getting interesting through to the third fourth playoff here this is the uh the quarterfinal stage as it were well the last four left in the
Game uh we have the first versus uh first and second versus second and this is the the second lot of players from the North and South who will contest it with each other sail sharks versus exor Chiefs should be really really good and alongside me I’ve managed to prize him
Out of his out of his warm sofa to be with us Matt banahan lovely to have you with us Matt uh you’re here not only because I asked but also you love this level of rugby it’s great fun isn’t it to watch under 18s yeah I think it’s a
It’s exciting uh shackle free rugby boys want to express themselves and show what they’ve got and fortunately enough still as well as working with Scotland women I still help out in a a school in bath and I’ve got four boys uh coming in the final game for bath um which is exciting
Uh more come to see you but they’re obviously second the CR but you’re a liar I I’m definitely excited about this game hearing a lot from about the good sale team and the players they’ve got I think it’s going to be an exciting game indeed and Chiefs have done an
Exceptional job you know they were down in the doldrums last year they’ve turned it around Ricky P’s done an exceptional job of getting this team into position and sorting themselves out s will play in red and exter in white referee calls them in and gets
Them uh gets them sorted it uh it should be as you say really really good this Game Ole Davis has the ball in his hands and uh we will be mentioning Ole Davis’s a few times I think this afternoon or should I say this evening ball hangs in the sky super hit early intention wonderful work by Seb Kelly addition to this uh s sharks setup
And thunderous shoulder early doors into the extra Chief’s line got to build from deep into the 22 they are and they’ll dig it out what done by James Howard kick is gathered Davis s on the halfway line just happy to look behind the screen that’s good Blitz cover coming in from extra Chiefs
Who snuff it out from the outside numbers here good Miss pass saor behind here away goes Davis inside lovely opening Toby Wilson’s going to Scamper home and sail sharks up and running very quickly Matt banahan yeah great play there just as that passage play I got a
Message from the great Carl Fern telling me about about Tom Davis the hooker um and he said he’s a good little one to look out for and if if Fern saying somebody’s good you got to look at on and the Panic here how calm he was on
The ball he didn’t panic he didn’t take it to ground got his arms he had somebody on the outside but he knew the inside support was great there so a good little tout there from Carl Ferns and a good start by S sharks you got good Connections in the game banners you
Definitely always had and they continue to me message in yet Toby Wilson gr into the gam getting better and better as this season has gone on as Toby Wilson and he’s on the score sheet on finals day and uh dear old Oly Davis has got a
Kick out wide to add the extra couple of points kicking has been pretty outstanding today from an under 18 level I mean you could you couldn’t ask for a better day with he no you couldn’t yeah good good footing it’s not a pitch that’s had five games on already
True it’s very true I wonder why they they pick these 4G pitches that must be it yeah Davis slots it what I was making the point was these these don’t seem like boys kicking it goal these are these are men no they’re there some of them will be 6 months 12 months away
From possibly playing a first professional game and and some of them might take a little bit longer but they they’re obviously that close to taking that next step up um and the standard of 18s rugby at the moment is very close to to full full Championship level I’d say
With the size of men and the speed of them but there a fantastic start by sale you can see EXA want to bring a lot of line speed um and to get in their face but if you get that wrong the ball over the Top’s the easy one and and line
Breaks will be on all day indeed decent gather at the restart again that man said Kelly making a name for himself and once again sa behind they unlock the door through hul they go again lovely offloading Fraser Rosetta Roseta tumbles towards that 22 M line sail going again Davis looking for a
Hole Davis going through hot stepping his way such good feet inside ball once again at the moment s sharks seem to be on every single shoulder real confidence ripping through them lost their well lost their first game Drew their second but have not looked back since Kelly
Again may have been a feeling of people getting in front hul on the offload once again Davis is there Davis hits the deck then presents behind the screen Davis Quick Pass line from Wilson ball is continued on out to the left hand side sail pushing exit
Trying to get in the way underneath it I think yeah held up they’ll come back uh the refere is going to run all the way back for a penalty Advantage yeah the offloading on on the clip you can see everybody supporting other the one out the back to 14 just
Creating momentum exra still trying to be really hard off the line get off the line leaving a lot of soft shoulders which obviously means if you don’t get a dominant tackle the offloads are on um but Dan Green at 15 he’s been involved in a lot there for sale being first
Receiver stepping up being the distribut on the outside and he’s had a great start to the game giving Davis at 10 a bit more time on the ball out the back with him stepping up there yeah Dan Green potentially seen as a second choice 10 but really making a name for
Himself at 15 and as you say when you have someone who can deputi so readily frees up space on the pitch for uh the likes of Davis to position themselves elsewhere sa are definitely in the mood for things at the moment into the corner they go Tom Davis this
Is with the line goes over the top Kelly’s twisting and turning and trying to make it work for sail exra have got underneath him they are going to let him hit the hit the deck now it comes again Gilmore Davis again wants more involved he’s a busy
Player hul Davis the no look kick through oh my goodness Dan Green is on it in a Flash and a little Cameo again the no look kick clever stuff Matt manahan it’s it’s what we said the two players that have been sort of pivotal for the first six minutes for sale
Everything’s around them at first receiver second receiver here pulling the probably the trigger I thought too early but they recognize that there’s no 15 in the back field and the kick through is on the money and a great finish there good good all the pressure they’ve built up from the the simple
Receiving from the first restart with they offload up the channel to work their way up the pitch is a good passion to play there by S what do you say if in you’re in the extra Chiefs huddle at the moment what what what do they got to do just completion of tackle just
Completion tackle they got to make sure that if they’re tackling the person on the ball they get into the ground as quickly as they can second person over the ball to stop the offload or if you’re the tackler gets your feet as quick as you can at the moment that
They’re coming off the line too hard they’re not being dominant enough in the tackle or stopping the ball um and giving really s what they want voice of Matt banahan overseeing things in our game for the third fourth playoff second place sides in both the North and South
Group in the Premier ship duking it out and at the moment sail sharks have the bit between their teeth little disguise from ole Davis on the kick through Dan Green knew exactly what was happening chief and that’s why it’s 14 n in favor of the sail
Sharks bit of time with ball in hand Chiefs could do with as well it’s been all red at the moment Dan Green might oblig he might give them a line out to work with it’s uh been a bit of a whirlwind uh start from the Sharks and Chiefs
Probably just need to take a little bit of control a little bit of time out the game messages will be going on I’m sure it’s a neat line out off the top Howard feeds this back line one of the runners is retalic Hurst again sharks uh neat and tidy in defense
At the moment Josh man big name in this extra Chief setup Josh man oh good work over the ball seen it a lot today game maybe under 18 but some of the body positions are very professional Davis coming in there as well as a line out throw straight over the top of the
Ball just ex to looked like they lost their shape there only b car plus one and N he’s an next-man they looked like theyd lost a shape a bit in the middle of Midfield um the first sort of took seven minutes to get any possession and
Now this kicks going to come back and give s the sail sorry oh it’s been touched everybody’s on side a good platform here to attack from sa got an opportunity here I don’t know if they can reather themselves but this is uh herum scarum stuff at the moment F to
Chiefs nothing is going right even the ball’s being kept in field isn’t quite working for them sa got another platform on which to build looked a little flat now forward flat flat forward there’s a there’s a white line there I think the white line didn’t help clear clear
Day we’ll see it again here O Davis yeah there we go yeah good intention though yeah very much so it’d be interesting to to see now how how s are getting so much growth going around the corner against them that suddenly when they have a sudden change
Of direction if they use the short side or they they somebody sweeps around because exto have obviously been focus on the long side getting high and as fast as if they line to try shut it down but as soon as somebody starts changing the attack and going down the short side
It really nullifies your line speed and I wonder when that will come in and then s will dictate on top but ex really need to get footh hold in the the game and try and get some possession some time on it and it would grow confidence the
Tough thing now is they’re into the game 9 and 1 half minutes they’re 14 they down they think they’ve got to score of everything when they just hold the ball just play the play the play The Clock not the scoreboard and make sure you build yourself into the game and that’s
Uh very much part of where these boys are obviously technical ability but also game ability getting into a game and working it through on a huge amount of opportunity uh throughout the season of course they played the first two and then went back to school played school
Boy rugby and then have come back and played five as a group it’s about getting out the field getting those messages correct this unfortunately they’ve just given up another possession Source from a good sort of half attacking exit where they could have kicked it into a corner and played off
The kick coming back to now giving sail who have got an outstanding 10 and an outstanding 15 an opportunity which is probably apart from this line at this scum if it was 5 me out this is a good attacking platform cuz if a team sets up like this you’re probably going to go
Left because they’re waiting for catch- UPS they have to be passive and if they make a poor read you make over the game line and right they’ve got numbers so in theory if they set up like that you should go left as they are Davis obliges lovely hands from Davis catches it
Behind his knee green kryer is forced into touch but it was a free go yeah it was that was the right option just clinical passing making sure you see the pass the first one just behind Davis stopped him from in his pass and then moved across but it just gives the
Defense time to push across and you see 15 makes the tackle on another day they push it to the the 15 he rolls it on his foot and lets 15 come up and they play that game but at the moment s don’t have to do it you can see Davis as hooker
Already off the pitch on the far side knowing the where the line is so you can we’re talking about how they’re get developing obviously a Tempo line out Hook is going to be there ready yeah and they want to go they don’t want to play
Slowly they want to play on top and tire this extra team out which they they have been doing really well so far for the first 11 minutes indeed Chiefs uh having to try and find any any line at the moment they are a mute bystander in this uh current setup they
Need something they need a tow hold in some shape or form to get back into this they have to defend this line out down it comes wedges formed illegally so says the referee not straight seen a few of those today yeah it was
A I think they can they can risk it to a bit they could have won it at the front there’s no competition there um no com you can com on that time he caught it over he caught it over there the top of the ex so I think s might feel a little
Bit hard done by there I suppose it’s still not straight if if it’s their side no is that still not stra no comment he might Cur in the wind he might start the other side uh net result is that the Chiefs have got the ball and they’ll want the ball uh
They’ll want to try and find a way up the field penalty at scrum time would be useful get themselves up there but I’m not sure whether it will come front rows let’s name them Josh man Tyler Bailey and Ben uh Ben Woodman Z for extra Chiefs up against Ben Lily Tom Davis and
Leona tahana couple of B row conversions in there as well which means they could be a little bit mobile around the park with that knowledge that understanding and appreciation of where they areed Woodman the uh number three for ex from the lizard in Cornwall which is
About as far as you can go in Cornwall before you get into the sea he’s also a farmer so uh probably relatively strong you would have thought we’ll have to see how he goes at scrum time oh here we go Dan Green making his way forward again for S
Sharks some very decent footwork in this s sharks backline Davis is another flat pass picks out Gilmore ball is sned forward it looked like yeah ripped and then sort of spil forward so s will get a go pulled out here I think by Woodman actually we speak of him at farming
Strength but unable to stop the ball from going forward no yeah you can see now that EXA aren’t bringing as much line speed in that and that’s what gives that face ball a bit of opportunity but if they don’t bring any more line speed than that the opportunity to go out the
Back and these these exciting backs that s have got will will put on a show so I think the extra backs will just want the ball at the moment because they haven’t really got the ball and and touched it but they’re given another setup here with they you call out
312 well you called the last one you probably you probably go 8 n come to the right see if you can drag up this left wing and roll it behind or play in front Okay this could be a good game today couldn’t it you because if you look at the far left
Side you’ve got nine will get to 10 cent will get to 12 and Wing will get to Wingers there’s no numerical Advantage there okay numerical Advantage is this way if it went 8 n but 15 sat a little bit behind so it could go 8
N uh 13 short on this right side and 15 out the back ball eventually makes its way to the back and the referee’s got his hand out pretty Scrappy now they go they go to the left hard press on the outside from Chiefs means that the ball doesn’t get
Any further than the first receiver good luck a little tap on Lovely staren wants in again Kelly offload good tackle comes in on lenberg oh there’s numbers here Davis knows it as well floats the ball outside green Davis was loitering but it didn’t quite get that far Chiefs have done well
Chiefs have put out the fire there’s been a lot of fires so far and they managed to extinguish that one yeah the end play there by uh is it lenberg yeah and then Kelly eight and seven just re recognizing that the defender is flying on him just to stand static and tip it
To Kelly to make that line break they’ll be disappointed their sail they had a clear opportunity to to score there and sort of let one let one go there and now ex will be disappointed with that exit but they they’ got possession and at the moment s can’t score if they got the
Ball but X’s need to do this further up the pitch indeed yeah it’s uh it looks very profitable out there for S sharks at the moment Ole Davis who uh you don’t want to jinx things but so many people suggesting that he could well be the option for England at fly
Half and he looks uh very comfortable at the moment in s colors where they’ve got EXA exra going to build and push their way outside the 22 good it is same Mo still [Applause] moving who’s got in there somebody’s got in there somebody here illegally so says
The referee in from the side and that is the sort of thing that the Chiefs need push their way up the pitch now I think from that line out delivery is it is it Bailey at Hooker for XA that was a brilliant throw brilliant setup he had
Patience on the ball at the back and even though we’ve been speak about the start for stale ex to there fantastic delivery and the skill the asset of getting the line out at the top of the jump and bringing it down to set a strong M so great work there by Bailey
At the at the lineup yeah better better kick as well had Christian day on a little bit earlier and he was actually pretty impressed with the way that some of these line outs were firing they’re difficult things to get right they they they take a lot of working out line outs
That’s why line out people are boring it’s the only thing they focus on right okay write your letters to Matt Banner great another one Bailey there fantastic throw all the way to the back see how they’re good these line outs you’re you’re a naysayer right here we go pushing Up
Down by exra there yeah still still got it moving this could be a way back in for the Chiefs certainly takes a little bit of impetus away from the S sharks juggled with by Freddy rolls get one short in the breakdown oh got away with one there
There exra again just one short in the breakdown they they break out and they go with a ball Car Plus One somebody else needs to get in there quickly to look after the ball cuz they know what’s coming from from s but was this High tackle from the from the referee yeah
Rolls gets isolated here very quickly back onto his feet Kelly he’s having a good game SE Kelly but piggyback ride we call this in in coaching terms that from 5 in touch line sa have given away four penalties and now they’re what 10 me from try line
And it’s it’s sort of a coach killer that you let a team get that far up the pitch without having to do much sort of hard work rather than your ill disciplin another throw from Bailey this time tipped at the top and down it comes slightly awkward Hurst is going to try
And tidy it up Freddy Hurst fly halfer extra Chiefs Good carry decent carry and and through the first bitten gives his forwards a little bit of a platform something to aim at now they’re going to sweep to the left hand side kroa weing [Applause] 12 scrum cap is is off S
Sharks joining up try and make the fence A Little Bit Stronger to stop the Chiefs coming through Good carry Again by retalic presents the ball well again more runners dominant hit though a good steal taking it quickly away they go Chiefs are snapping Howard forward Chiefs forwards just need to
Stay together and not go off piece they need to your same way working pods to make sure that they’re stronger together at the moment area other areas of the pitch they’re going both sides of the ball where this area you need everybody the same song sheet all going the same
Way and sacrifice that to the defense they got penalty advantages they got free play here they go They’re pushing maybe with that arm out from the referee give some options at least keep sail honest now it comes left oh big dummy from Finley Finley for the line almost
CH Hands On The Go line short again on the go line so having to work very hard Off Their Own Line refs in the place he’s looking he’s peering in he says it’s held up ladies should have penalty Advantage I think they might still have it will
They what’s going back here is he going to have a chat with s has been he’s getting scrum cap he’s getting his scrum cap I thought I thought he’d been pinned off there for a moment no no he’s just going to have a chat with yeah not just just held up referee
Peering in there to uh have a look thought a yellow card had been dished out then but no on the offside is the penalty man in white the extra Chiefs get a uh a go from right in front of the sticks sort of place that someone like
Luke C and dicki used to make a lot of hay from forward comes Bailey halted this time away one they Lurch left stay there three still going left s being told to hold it again that looks as though it might be held up as well that’s well defended by S they’ve done
That on purpose they the angle of the extra fors need to go a bit more of an angle towards a touch line to try and create quick ball and balls available by driving straight sail can just absorb it and fall over the line and hold up it’s
It’s a skill which I’ll probably see more teams working on or looking like they they’ve worked at at some point in in forward sessions to sort of nullify the pressure now they can kick out and defend probably just outside their 22 that’s a great restart Davis’s restart
Is good deep just inside the extra Chief’s half little nudge over the top here to Williams Williams with a good gather again good work over the ball from sroa works hard and twists his way into that 22 Howard carry from Harris man little nudge over the top
Then not sure whether too many people from me chiefs were whereare that was going to happen maybe oh here here comes the card yeah they had a team warning before that high tackle High tackle is it that seems to be the indication yeah I’m trying to see who to
15 walking off at the back is it Dan Green who’s who’s coming off yeah no oh no oh is it is it the player at the far at the back end of the uh of the dead ball Areais number two and he’s been playing uh he’s been playing well so that is uh sail down to 14 men Chiefs have got to turn this into points got to turn this possession and territory and man Advantage into points line out’s been good so far in the game
Bailey with another great throw to the jump great settle with the all oh he’s just spun out B go oh is he there I think he is we gave him the big build up and he delivered Matt manahan yeah he’s been he’s probably been the standout so
Far of this game for for exter and he happy they’ll build into this game and he’ll be happy with our his lineups been going now the forwards have been producing and they’re back into this game now kick to come to possibly make it a one- score game indeed Tyler belly
Just for a moment it looked as though it was going to break away and he was going to be left stranded yeah I think he lost his bearings where which way it was but no straight good oh good skill there good power from the young man like a young Jack yandall indeed
This is Freddy Hurst who’s got the kick hiy pair of uh yellow and orange boots on sparkling in the now night sky oh yep yeah hey why not use what you got makes it interesting in off the post they all count Freddy HST makes it seven points to
Ex and there is that tow hold there is that foothold that they needed to get back into this game and it will be very interesting the remaining 10 minutes of this first half exactly how they manage it ex Chiefs so get the ball back off this restart and how they manag this
Next 10 minutes or so will be crucial as we make our way towards halftime I said in this in this next 10 minutes they’ve got licensed kick it off the pitch give GL um s a line out they’ve got to change the hooker which means they got to take somebody else off
The pitch should be a good tactic I don’t know if it’ll be me be coming on get the ball off the pitch if it’s kicking across the ground give give sa line out because they’ve just a great kick Chase there tumble him in the corner and get a
Line out themselves so it’s a good outcome for them but I wonder if the messages like that do come on at this age yeah and and how much of that is part of this process of you know letting them be I I know see coaches at all all
All levels are are shouting on screaming all sorts of things but there is there is a coach process that says you got to let players make decisions yes yeah and I think you pass those those messages on to certain people oh not not straight line up to say oh good away yeah
Absolutely in and behind all of a sudden the not straight everyone sort of paused because it was so not straight that they thought it was going to be brought back stripped in the tackle there by EXA yes exto have got it back the advantage probably over Chiefs get
Repulsed okay now five dangerous there from ball is bubbling around I think yeah I think that’s a kick he swung foot out and kicked it so Le off back to the same question I think those sort of conversations are as a coach you you you luckily at this this age you can have
Coaches on the side of the pitch you got s coach Johnny behind the posts at one end just watching the game but he could pass that message on to the the fly half or the the dominant kicker and and they make a decision um those sort of decisions I probably don’t think come
Natural to the the players at the moment but you have to give them that sort of information and then let them sort of make the make it when it happens do I feel the games to kick out do I want to kick it in and that’s how they learn but
You have to sometimes give them that little bit of wording to see what they feel CU they don’t all the time see it or feel it long throw into the Midfield purposely done and Israel ainoa comes away with the ball it’s bubbling around again well picked up five by by bed W wood
[Applause] manzi little stab through is going to work for Williams I say it was going to work for him he had to catch it first that have been a good Kick K kicker grass that’s the point I was going to make it does bounce differently on this
Stuff doesn’t it it just it just seems to bounce just a little bit unusually yeah well you feel the bounce in your knees when you’re at my age paying on this stuff and definitely the ball does bounce differently but uh on this side Bailey’s had an outstanding last 10 15
Minutes fora he’s been part of everything that ball over the top of that lineup that’s a long throw and we speaking about earlier the line out uh reactions and as you said that s have now had to make a replacement hooker Freddy Griffith say come on he’s got 16
On his back and the ball in his hand eight off yeah Monty lenberg has come off rather disgruntled but not a lot he can do about it they need him on for line out time exactly what Matt vanam was mentioning earlier little kick through from Davis it’s too long needed
A little bit less on that and Jed Finley’s footwork has got him out of trouble he’s isolated again though hands not on the ball there is bed wood wood manzi carry from Josh man as well James Howard Josh pengelly on the bench as well those two have been duking
It out all season for the number nine shirt decent take from Dan [Applause] Green carry from Hodgkinson Gilmore as well J Gilmore strong piece that Davis’s feet get him out of trouble and release away they come right is on steaming away here comes s sharks again that’s a good cover tackle second man in there as well he’s not on the ball oh he could have got on there
Exra great cover tackle he could have got on the ball there’s a steel great work there by 10 ex to just about getting the right people in the right place in time the the extra left Winger could have got on the ball I feel there but realized as the back rows are
Coming to clear that probably better not there is 10’s on the ball unlucky off the body 11 no no I don’t want to get cleared out and then but 10 there down again two attempts second attempt brilliant good technique on the ball steel Freddy Hurst doing some dirty work
Which is always nice for a fly half he writes that in his diary tonight I did some tough work sir oh they’re going to reverse yeah so the yellow cards revers so back to the field comes Davis and indeed loggenberg as well so not a huge amount of time they spent
To is it still 10 minutes at no I don’t think it is oh double check what that is but I don’t I don’t think it is been 10 minutes at 35 minutes it might it might be less oh good line up again B yeah the set piece working well at the moment for
The Chiefs rookie p and friends will we pleased with that short sides on here for as [Applause] well i’ have kept my wing on the left side here really stressed them out here you go oh it sucks two out the mall sucks two out the mall and let it go forward [Applause]
Again good control there by the extra forwards keep that ball there Akin rowa presses up the middle stays on his feet buys an extra two three yards you need another person that break down B Car Plus One one no again they one short got away with that one ball comes
Back py just did enough to rescue the situation now the Chiefs are coming again behind little tap in how does it catch oh it doesn’t all is on the deck and it will have gone out the X are really opening there now they’re getting back into this game a
Bit of possession they’ve just got to get a bit more tighter with that that ball carrier plus one plus another two because you know sail going to come at these break Downs hard and they’re just given a few little opportunities to sa get over the ball and and slow down the
Possession or or even turnover so when they’re carrying they’re carrying well but the first cleaner is clearing out the threat and they’re just leaving the ball ball open and that’s definitely the message that will probably come on at half time a bit of deception running off nine at the moment they’re passing
Straight to forward who’s carrying there’s not as many tips if you look at sail they’re tipping they’re pulling out the back they bit more variety and definitely that breakdown Focus yeah just uh leaving themselves a little bit exposed at the moment but like you said with three and
A half minutes to go they’re still in this game oh 100% they’ve got I mean you know after what six minutes or so it was just looking all red wasn’t it and the simple skills simple Basics just done well by by S at the start of the game
With that first try there ball over the top with sort of the defensive line wanted to be aggressive um and ex just had to build into the game and it it’s been started from the forwards the line outs have been top quality they’ve only had one been overthrown but they still
Regathered it uh and they’ve set up a strong mall and they’ve got a lot of reward out of that scr platform for sale just outside their own 22 referee’s got his arm out to say there’s a penalty infringement they might come back 5022 if it bouncers
Strong Bo oh it’s going to be ever so close oh kept in by Noah Clifford offload oh red superbly by Wilson sailor in here if they can get the right numbers in play lurching towards that line so close now wide left you walking oh held
Up Gilmore I think tried to push his way through great work there by the referee because there was a penalty Advantage it could have gone out for 5022 he let SE have the ball and then off this they’re probably going to be in a better position after you see the held up S
Will be in a better position retrieving this kick than they would be kicking off a penalty there so very good offic there very nice I’ll write down the time and the day M Matt banahan nice about officials not not not too the problem is though not enough people do say it when
Officials do well very sharp when they they see one decision out of 100 they get wrong but when people pick on that you think they the penalty was inside their 22 and now they’re going to be off a kick attacking 30 m out Kelly big run from him he flattens Warren
Sail again quick off the line or exitor oh lovely hands and tip on hands here he goes lenberg over the top looks ambitious good work excellent work by ker towards that line sail build again another Examination for the Chiefs to with with withhold now it comes again
Kelly shrunks off the first man then puts his knee on the deck Davis on the little loop around Davis with the quick hands Wilson already one try this evening Davis again lovely hands lovely ability and the ball is down and Fraser Roseta but it all it’s it was coming and
It was just a case of how and when getting the right the right weapons into the right position yeah actually had no reason to score that EXA had a good defensive line they had numbers the first play they ran when the wrap around was probably not on because the strong
Defense that extra add and that one there absolutely no right to score that just a good piece of skill from Davis at 10 the stop go back to the outside interest the outside Defender who static didn’t get near him didn’t get near the pass credit goes to 10 there that stop
Start was fantastic X to be disappointed to the point of where they got into the game and just they had enough numbers there to to stay on top but I said second half X will be given simple points from Ricky P and the coaches of
What they need to do but you can’t take anything away from a good sve that’s how they started the half and that’s how they’ll end their half off S kick from Davis on the left hand side he’s ch sizes himself as it sails to the left hand side but at the moment sail
Sharks are in control Matt banahan alongside me we’re enjoying this one halftime score ex to Chiefs seven s sharks [Applause] 19 land going to sing it to score in the corner quick and thech of the Fist [Applause] [Applause] knock he’s landed it going to sing it to score in the
Corner quick and the of the [Applause] [Applause] Fist he’s landed it going to sing it to score in the [Applause] [Applause] corner land going to sing it to score in [Applause] the [Applause] back E Okay e second half in front of us then the third fourth playoff in this finals day what a finals day it has been some really really good wins some good games some really good examples of uh under 18’s school boy rugby and uh the best is potentially
Still to come that final between B and Northampton Saints alongside me Matt banahan I’m not going to ask you a very unfair question considering you have a stake in that bath side but it’s going to be a great final isn’t it yeah I think all of these games are the future
Of the game the clubs that we support we follow the league um the teams they play for now might not be the team that they play for in 5 years 2 years 10 years um speaking from experience that these boys goal is to try and play for the the
Senior team that they’re at um the results today in their head they’ll feel like it’s winning the World Cup but it’s just the start of their Journey you think that some of these boys this might be the last game of high level rugby they’ll play um doesn’t matter what
Match it is today and some might go to university some might be a life-saving doctor or but you want them to stay attached to the game don’t you you want them to stay being a rugby fan and maybe even playing rugby on an amateur basis
And you know you can still be you still be um supporter by coming to support the the teams that they they live by and um that’s what that’s what I love about the passion of them because they know what’s going to happen because these boys would
Have been told by the clubs who’s got contract coming in next year or not and you’ve got a squad of 23 and I probably just say as an average seven or eight of them know that they’ve got contract and the other 15 know that this is their
Last game with their mates and and that’s why they play with such passion and not knowing when they’ll play with such good group of players Freddy Hurst gets us back underway exra Chiefs fly half kicks the ball high into the gler sh Sky work by sebie kryner on this left
Hand side had an industrious first [Applause] half hul dig the ball out Davis will flick it across the front and the work of [Applause] tahana is uh rejected by the extra Chief’s defensive line that kick could set up oh Davis brilliant hands from Davis trademark hands from Davis he’s
Lost the ball forward in the end but my goodness the fleet of foot the ability to get it in yeah but that that tackle from Noah Clifford just out of nowhere even the piece of great skill there by Davis over the top you could bail out this tackle thinking there’s a collision
There straight takes him on the shoulder forces the fumble and that’s when you’re asking at half time are you willing to play for your teammates that a great work by Clifford there indeed it is and as you mentioned that ties That Thing nicely about the fact that this might be the last time
And you want to you don’t want to leave anything out there you want to make sure you given your absolute all and Clifford there the uh still under 17 is Clifford maybe have another year in him at this level but you want to uh put your very very best foot
Forward Chiefs uh need to steady this don’t they need to they need to build back into it they don’t need to be they don’t need to they don’t panic at the moment they just need to build their way back into this a simple one here you
Might even run 8 n down this short side or you’ll hit 10 will flat pass and try and get into the wide Channel and see what you can build from there sa have got one person in the backfield so it’s how you can manipulate that but it
Builds from this scrum and at the start of the game extra had a good scrum and sales defensive n going it leaves the the left side open now going to 10 with a Miss pass get to the edge there’s a Miss pass oh good read good hit as well
By Nick Lily sorry on Nick Lily Alex Smith doing some good work for sale sharks left they go a little bit of space down this short side oh must have been a shoelace in touch can’t have been much ree Williams pulled back they’re unlucky not to get get that
Space off that that that restart great spot here from sail centage coming through just a little bit more depth needed there by X to let the defender come at you but they still picked them off here and like you said I’d love to see if there’s another camera angle
Obviously not but it’s a see you can see what exra can see there down off the top Davis into the Midfield again more good offloading Kelly is the beneficiary this time Kelly fights his way toward that 22 M line left they come again Davis long pass out to kryner kryner
Puts his ears back ball inside is oh refere it should be an exra scrum you can’t oh ex will be devastated with that it did it did flick the referee so but the with the the ball over the top great by Davis there realizing he’s not getting into the tri ball over the
Top there’s no there’s no player there by sale I think you you’re giving benefit of the doubt to an attacking team there and I think that EXO feel hard done by that in my eyes should have been an exus Run well B in the backs now are stacking they brought the left Winger out to the right wing as well and green is also loitering with some intent in the back field as well looking for a line potentially off Davis Davis just communicates with green now as the forwards reset [Applause]
Themselves trying to figure out what 10 maybe travel a little bit on a 45 12 cut him 13 short with 15 out the back with Winger wing on a needle ball through ball off the base it’s from lenberg who fights his way to the floor work from Davis who was impressive in
The first half and ball has gone backwards and Chiefs have got it yeah Chiefs Chiefs has set piece today line out and scrum has been very dominant that’s the space over the top well recognized there by EXA can they work 2v one keep working together Williams open space here they go yeah
Good step hold on to it good good exit that Finley does exceptionally well to get down to the floor Williams was with him along alongside him and he continues to can they recognize the SPAC is on the far side this way come towards us out the
Back all of backs are caught in that breakdown is still here this space you can hear the calls Josh man on the rumble up still a little bit of a mismatch if they can find the right Pair of Hands decent tackle coming in from Toby Wilson yeah he’s on the
Ball no illegally so says the referee I’m just watching the referee’s High tackle he he’s saying yeah Wilson must have been high on that initial shot here’s uh here’s the space right option there carrye watch the support coming across don’t give it to him because he only caught in the touch line
Step inside no breakdown just outside the 22 great thereby EXA that’s the obviously the high shot they’re classing in there it gives EXA a chance 5 me out now they’ve been good line out scrum and mo so as long as they get the delivery done here I can expect them to be
Walking away with some points pressure potentially on Tyler Bailey try to his name already in this game good delivery up it goes works well retalic has it in the back he feeds it all the way into the hands of Bailey Bailey and his mates are going to push their way
Through everyone joins in bar just a couple in the back line referee’s looking Wheels its way around this way there is the ball now it’s on the deck so it’s Hit the Floor will the referee allow that to come all the way back he does Chiefs are going to have to [Applause]
Reorganize this is where he said that’s a good carry there by ex that 45 degrees getting a little bit wider sucking in more Defenders don’t go too direct keep going at that that angle missed the first Defender work into the second Defender try well done EXA yeah really good
Builder excellent took their time and waited for The Gap to feed it’s another one there he is at the bottom it’s Bailey again Bailey andle yeah I was going to say extra Chiefs and hooker scoring tries are kind of synonymous and uh well if it ain’t broke then don’t fix
It reaching for it here just barely Waits and sees his way deep and underneath it referee in perfect position good start to the half there by EXA making sure they had possession which they didn’t have in the first getting good outcomes working in in the threes which you said protecting the
Ball a penalty given away by by sail for the the high tackle which gives the entry into 5 10 m out you saw feel that this kick is a big kick in the game if they want to get close to it well haven’t seen somebody miss him here yet no thank you Matt
Banahan great kick there you see he’s not listening to you no I said it see that’s what Freddy Hurst dissects the uprights and we have a game most definitely another look at it here rolling round yeah the first Carry there by is it wood good leg Drive get over then Bailey
Picking through a hole puts a bit of pressure on S now to make sure they can capitalize on another attacking platform if they get one got to see how they respond Dingle goes up and takes the ball well good carry as well from him to make a couple of extra
Yards saor a great side with the ball there’s no doubt about that but Chiefs at the moment I’m going to give it back to them but they’ had a good Passage with the ball themselves and that’s where they’ll need it Davis will look for a hole and if he doesn’t find one
He’ll try and manufacture one back on a plate there foot oh oh good line bre off there we go sail behind they’re calling for it got to find the man oh the offload didn’t quite work out kicked into a play on Ball’s going to Ricochet around and Chiefs are going to get it
Slightly Broken Field here Harris with the pick up and go space is on long left as they can again referee says play on and away they go big right-handed passes allow s to get out there Williams with the kick ahead it’s going to end up in the hands of Dan Green via
Davis chip over the top is going to tiptoe into touch just inside the 22 oh it’s fascinating this one it really is fascinatingly poised here’s the line break hodkinson stretching his legs I thought the pass could have come about a half a second earlier yeah he didn’t he didn’t
Have to take it to the player and try and pass around the back of him it’ll look at it and there’s an opportunity he did so much great work there by spinning out the tackle getting leg drive and it’s one of those ones where it seems
Like it’s too easy just to pass it simply and you feel like you have to take contact but the work he did before it like we said the age group of this they will make mistakes this is how they learn but what he did prior to that was
Great leg drive he was actually if he got tackled on the halfway line where the tackle was he had no support with him he was by himself he got out the tackle drove through and made a linean the outcome is what it is but what he
Did prior to that was fantastic work and that’s what they love to see that is a decision where you teach them as as coaches and develop them what before that was what was brilliant to see it’s the voice of Matt banahan alongside me you’re just joining us for this uh third fourth
Playoff Martin involved in a number of different ways with coaching the game and you can see just how good a coach he is Scotland women benefiting from your expertise as well do you have to put on a Scottish accent to speak to them I’m benefiting from them they’ve got a great
Bunch of great bunch of players great bunch of squad um coaches players outside staff it’s great to be involved and like they I am just me but they make me better and that’s I’m looking forward to the women six Nation with them should be really good to see how you get on
Bailey again has the ball at the back of the exter Mall they’re a lot further away than from where he scored but he’s still got ideas of trundling forward Bailey has his head down and his mind on one thing only and that is to get as
Much go forward as he possibly can with this Chief’s pack turnover it is a turnover I was going to say looked at the Panic stations looked to be coming on from Josh pingi there who seemed to Telegraph the fact that it wasn’t going to come back on their side
Good hands again from sail oh lovely offload really lovely offload in it makes a bit of space excellent work Fraser Roseta has one try he’s going to skip back inside he’s going to head towards that Trine he’s going to get there again what a good finish by finish by Fraser
Roseta but where where we spoke about hodkinson earlier the decision of offloading probably at the wrong time that time was amazing you watch him roll onto his back you’d probably say this offload is not on but he spins out and he offloads it halfway down and that’s
What creates a try apart from the quality and speed and handling that offload there fantastic to Green simple skills and then speed you just can’t beat speed roster round the back footwork and leg Drive desire passion however you want to call it just got to
Touch a little bit of the white line try but hodkinson there fantastic a tough rload that what we had previously it makes that one look easier indeed Fraser Ross’s second score of this evening and little bit of daylight now appearing between these two sides
13 for sail off six for sail off I think six be’s outstanding yeah he’s done a lot of unseen work and yeah he just carries hard he makes some great tackles Alex Smith also has uh has made way they one short on the bench s sharks we’ll have to
See kick from Davis uh flies across the face of the posts think uh Just trying to see exactly who’s come on I think uh yeah Freddy Griffith is is on in the front row try to keep you across these [Applause] substitutions good restart it is a good lofted restart which allows it to bounce backwards and forwards come off a knee I think no the referee says
Knock on accidental offside he’s tapped it back extra 13 into the extra player and it’s great aerial skills it’s falling into the pit and falling back into his hands because he hasn’t played the ball it would be a penalty if he he moved towards it but because it’s hit
Him it’s just a a scrum so good decision but great restart great a of skill there just unfortunately didn’t fall into the supporting players hands brilliant unpicking of the law there sir attempting as always sa got the put into this hul been a bundle of fun in this game as
The scum half oh good read but away they come with it Sail kripper Away off his wing and going looking for work the left wing for saale great feet brought down again decent carry from hodkinson option not taken Davis is one of them excellent Break by Tom Davis cries
Are forward but the ball is ended up in next to Chief’s hands Chiefs I would uh suggest need to just a little bit slow on setup here Chiefs think about making sure that they get a little bit further up the field he probably need to score next whatever
That score is just to keep themselves in touch in this game we are 20 minutes from full time G not away but it’s going to be a crucial passage of the game right now Josh pilly flat kick he’s gone all the way out off the side of the boot and
He look skyward in disgust at himself but not making it work three yardage given away to sail there more substitutions whole front row front row we do like a whole front row change Ted Hawkin coming on Jack sheret Albert D means that Josh man Tyler Bailey and and Woodman Z goes [Applause] off Freddy Griffith with the line out but it’s not straight says the referee so uh this new Chiefs front row will get a scrub yeah I think the the front row that have gone off for Chiefs could be very proud of what they’ve done I think they’ve been good G
Good platform in scrum line out Bailey’s been exceptional with his line out throwing and work around the park so uh no matter what the result I think that extra Chiefs front row that have just gone off can be very proud of what they’ve done they got a good good attacking
Platform here again s leaving one in the back field so they’re trying to protect the the Run options they’ve worked hard good scrum by the new front row there away the chief’s backline comes in it is Ree Richards who was mentioned to me in midweek 3v one there’s an option
There go forward says the referee ree Richards and Luca brano he mentioned did Ricky P that potentially those two could bring a slightly different feel both abrasive players both like to use their shoulder to open doors or see see those given I didn’t see anything there you were nice about him earlier I
Didn’t say anything bad just said there’s no white line to show it is hard but at this level you pass and you fall off your passes and it looks like it could be forward whereas you watch other people play in in the Prem they pass and still move forward
Cuz they used to taken the hits as they pass you try and cut off a Defender at this you’re more likely to try and pass and try and get back in your line so it looks more forward than it actually is good play that just hands now shoulder
Ball break oh Almost Got Away With It did Green bounces actually into Chief hands and again the offload or the spill happens and first knock on comes from sail more substitutions for the Chiefs on comes Alex Ker Ben fur and Zach H just looking at the replay there I
Think green was really good there turning the corner as we call it and the 14 roster was just too close to him just took away his space which gave him no passing option but it was a great launch Play and it’s just another opportunity of that s could have had another Tri
Score on bip and then off that EXA just need to have some sort of transition attack mindset of if the ball gets us what we try to do we trying to hit 11 15 or we trying to get the other 15 trying the middle of the pitch at the moment
They get the ball and they’re just a a little bit star strock of what they need to do but they’ve got another platform here which we started two minutes ago before that passage play s would have kicking himself really that they lost one there but this is a nice opportunity here for for
XA penalty Advantage there you go give Bly comes down the side small bit of space l big fend good work from Jed Finley on the carry Tom Davis great work from Tom Davis over the ball uh you can write to Carl Ferns and and say he’s he’s dead right yeah he’s
That good but EXA great attacking line out down SC down that short side picking them off simple skills here great work by nine get on the outside Tom Davis is playing six now if you look at the scrum so she’s shown his versatility pick off
2V1 we sped it Hal time but they got to get better at these breakdowns 13 gets tackled off the ball so your nin’s in the first Tom Davis who’s playing six who’s a hooker straight over the Ball but we talk about versatility players Tom Davis thanks FY now he’s now in the
Middle of the pitch probably going to be a ball carrier off the line out F’s probably got some sort of money into him well fair play if you’re going to back roll anyone you going make sure they’re a good player yeah here we go then s sharks with the
Uh the throw in Freddy Griffith gets his line right this time Ben furth there you go there he is Davis Good carry another three four yards there where he shouldn’t perhaps have got it inside ball Davis ins the man who usually plays conduit actually with the run
There carry from Seb Kelly who’s uh been excellent so far all the tricks is Davis at the back of his hand and sailor still got it creeping towards that 22 M line Chiefs try and apply some pressure ball is going to end up back in F’s hands good Davis lovely offload
Kelly Kelly has some Wheels he doesn’t quite get there oh I he’s got a away one there throw it into him I think he might have done but this might bounce for exra Chiefs kick down field they’re going to converge s are going to get their first number 22 is Zach
Hol hul continuing his run the leg Drive allows presentation to F good tackle great tackle there that’ll get uh your team going that sort of defensive effort Hol big right boot towards that touch line and he gets there interesting passage of play that no yeah I think
When when we speak about earlier about Davis being able to carry that on the on the the return play and having the 10 carry the crash ball the the link up between Davis and green at 10 and 15 be able to slide into each other’s positions very quickly is probably one
Of the strengths or the super strength of sale that they have somebody who when you tend at the Bott of a breakdown that somebody else just steps straight back up and I think green and and Davis look so comfortable at it both sides of the ball if somebody’s at first the other
Person’s out the back there’s no sort of ownership over a space that they’re very good together and that they’ve worked extremely well today throw in from Ted Hawking needs to be as good as his previous man he does he obliges to Bailey’s [Applause] templ Ted Hawking doing what Bailey did
As well steering this ship forward out the back oh you missed one there carry from R Richards mention about his shoulders and opening doors that was most definitely part of it cross field kick little end of the toe I thought that might have work there had penalty Advantage a good option yeah Crossfield
Uh kick from Freddy Hurst and could have just been nudged forward by Clifford I think it is it or Rees Williams out on that left hand side is it it is Ree Williams with a little footballing control almost and could have spiled well for Finley that it didn’t but they
Got a penalty yeah they’ve got got a lot of good rewards out of these Crossfield kicks against s the the first passes play when they came out the back of that mle when they carried in the center that was the one where they could have gone
Out the back and created an extra number another running threat but the opportunity of having a penalty Advantage kicking it was great the kicks just B them just inside the 22 and I would I’d guess that they’ go again with this driving moall and try and suck in
The Defenders and if I XA I’d do the same play again but go out the back and play in front 13 minutes left in this game 10 points the difference if Chiefs can turn this territory into points it’s a m point now as it’s been stolen at the back of the
Line out forward has come Kean Jackson hands this could work another fantastic stolen it stolen it on the tackle brilliant turn up oh needs to get the ball away need to get the right men in the right position I see it now get people in the numbers in the breakdown Jacob Lewis with a carry crucial carry
Pilly oh what a read that is a fantastic read and that could be the game Toby Wilson scored the first try of the game and he has read extra Chief’s backline move like a book and he could well have stolen the points yeah he’ll be extremely happy
There because today he has been carrying hard tackling hard and to have a 50 m run in with nobody to run into has been fantastic he’s got all Showbiz around him and he’s just done the simple thing well he telegraphed that pass and he’s done well there yeah Toby Wilson’s white
Boots disappear into the distance and Chiefs have tried gallantly they have really fought their way back into this it’s been an Ever such a tough Examination for them as many people thought it would be sail just a little bit too strong and even without the ball reading moves like that Toby Wilson
Breaking hearts in Devon Yeah I think X will still have a bit of positivity coming out I think the first six seven minutes of the game where they just didn’t get a foothold in the game was really where the game’s one was in theory gone for them since then when they’ve had possession
Of play or possession they’ve looked good they’ve had ball in hand they’ve been able to stress the the sail defense with moving the ball thing and then these are this is just pressure passing now you’re so desperate to score try you’re trying to pull the match winner
We always said that this agent Mr are going to happen they’re not here to win a World Cup they’re here to to try and play and they want to be a Heroes they want to play well and you can’t blame anybody for trying to Chuck that pass um
At the end of the day sale have been extremely strong today and we got 10 minutes to go so another score from from exra in the next five minutes could make it interesting misfield on the restart that could interest the Chiefs and they pour through turnover pilly has uh got it
And dummies and then goes himself he makes half for yard so would they come again Ben Harris with the Carry Oh misfield by penil and it’s a knock on and S have got it well good leg off he’s had a great game Kelly today s Kelly yeah we’ll showcase one for him tonight oh again another steel and oh H Nick Lily is going to get one back it’s
An intercept each and this game may have a little bit of life left in it I like it X are a little bit weak at that first breakdown where they got turned over one person in and then here they try to play out the back keep moving forward keep moving forward just
Pass in his Bread Basket yeah Nick Lily involved last year Tri scorer this year A Change around it’s been for extra Chiefs as well they were involved in the bottom Place match last year and here they are fighting out towards the top and giving s sharks many people’s uh best team in this
Competition I mean that respectfully to uh to bar and Northampton s have really shown up in the last uh set of matches beat Northampton a couple of weeks ago themselves Freddy Hurst kick is Monumental I told you nobody misses him [Applause] there oh wow we what about that from
Freddy H he is 10t tall as he runs back to his own side i’ said good defense there looking at the try again just even though his numbers down he just moved into the space but he stayed Square in the start of the first half they were
Getting into that space and coming in giv the pass over the top so really good defense there by EXA and pick one off and as they gave s a try like that they’ve had one back yeah and S and a half minutes left it’s uh a 10-point
Game great tackle coming in from uh Sals kripper ball just about does enough to go out forward came Dan Green to inspect it just left it bounce and say get the throw into this line out we just got to look where Tom Davis is going that’s where the ball’s
Going he’s in the middle of the field Tom Davis with the scrum cap in the middle of the field he’s he’s not involved in this line out in any shape or form line out comes into the Midfield Davis used as a little bit of a decoy
Cuz he was on the shoulder there not used used the other Davis has a little bit of a show and little duck back Inside Davis’s pass is half picked off but s is still going loop around sebie kryner kryner with the step inside oh what an offload that is oh the try of the game perhaps wraps it up Ben F the beneficiary but SEI kpno with a little bit of Hollywood to round
Off the game yeah a little bit of Showbiz I think it’s been waiting in there but griffi there is it the replacement hooker just the time and and the space they got away with one here Davis offloads hits the shoulder of the extra player they gets the edge but we
Talk about being calm in these areas shown on the inside Popp to the outside with the act the pass and this little filthy gly out the back so good and that’s what we want we want people to feel that they can express themselves at all levels not just under
18s but senior on the pitch when it comes off it’s amazing when it doesn’t come off not play next week now if there was a next week I think s kryp might have booked his place with that little bit of magic P fur rounding it all off but a lovely lovely
Score Davis with the conversion and throw it goes and potentially maybe I mean stranger things have happened on a rugby field but maybe s have done too much and we won’t grow tired of looking at this again k a little step back inside little banahan offload out I love
It no I wouldn’t have been there he’s way faster than me I can do the offload bit I just can’t get there I’ve never got there so oh good take again he’s he’s picked up this second half he’s really stepped up into this game kryp yeah SE kryp
About 7 and 1/2 ft tall at the moment out the back lovely out the back oh offload you got to controler in your hand M they’re doing exactly what you say yeah they just look like a group of boys that know each other how they’re going
To move and there’s Davis hooker back Ro moving it offload another pass there you go oh what another F oh what a good tackle that is we were calling it before it happened I thought he was going to stroll in and really good tackle in the corner by turn yeah turnover
Penalty hello shift oh don’t say it’s knock on PO come on that’s not fun no hey but great Tackle by ex that far corner it did look like they were going I think is it Roso probably thought he was going to get in the touch line arm
Free off around the back back out from Green great tackle there by 20 and again will Holmes that is and then great turnover by ex to 10 again he’s must he gets his head in those Dark Places a couple of big steals does can’t fult him Freddy Hurst yeah they say uh I
Say that props Running With The Ball you know end danger their front row you know union members card well putting your head in places like that endangers you fly half a union members card doesn’t it he’s had massive areas and then they’re looking to Quick tap and just
Unfortunate but like you said 4 minutes to go why not if you kick it out you got have a line out only 5 me in front of where you are in that far Corner give it a go it’s good to see bet back up on his feet Hurst cuz he’s been extremely
Strong for for EXA I think he’s had a great game just cuz I like both sides of the ball yeah he’s been defensively strong as well as attacking the kicks across putting them when they have had possession around the area but putting his head in the Dark Places he’s not had
Sort of as you’d say an armchair R by Davis for who hasn’t really have to defend much he’s been very more attacking but Hurst has done both sides if I was here what would I do uh come left maybe a final strike mood for for sale to play with here Davis points
Right goes left and there’s a little Gap this appeared for f f reaching is there all the movement was done in the back field and Ben fth has stolen in underneath the posts yeah that that’s a try where ex will be disappointed because they got the the the numbers
Around the breakdown correct but he just dug his way through they disrupted the scrum forced him here back row off back R got done on the inside eight off the back a it’s unfortunate that just just tackle completion that’s all it is uh it’s how they started the game uh EXA
But say we can’t take anything away from Individual one-on-one skills fantastic um if they defended it well they could have passed the left Edge and scored so at the end of the day we’ll probably talk about the the correct teams W but ex definitely have been fighting and as
You said last year they in a lot different position exra in the sort of the bottom Place game and now they’re they’re fighting with one of the best teams in in in the league in the under 18 League yeah huge amount of work done so many people involved of course and it’s
Not just rugby development the sort of pastoral development of these boys is so important as well Davis kicks it through the posts and I’m right in that isn’t it I mean the academy it’s not just about rugby it’s about making men not rugby players isn’t it it’s just making good people um
On the side of the pitch for for sale we talk about I can mik you got Ferg Crone Academy maners you Johnny L a player you got Kevin Manion who was at gler Academy when I was there he’s now part of s Academy and and they’re definitely part
Of making good people it doesn’t matter about rugby it doesn’t matter about the pathway and but it’s making good people that you can sit down and have a drink with every a me in 10 years time absolutely right good pick from Ben Harris who’s managed to uh it’s like an
On on side kick in in NFL that was to the restart reather it along the floor Chiefs are still playing still looking for the gaps good work from Freddy Hurst still want to go out on a high here the men in white Chiefs working hard pilly trying to bring in ree
Richards pilly again out wide to Harris his carry and Davis almost on top of the the ball bit of space down that narrow Corridor oh that’s a really good carry from Lily but into the touch he is pushed they’ll come back for the penalty time is up on R clock but
Referee will still play with the penalty well they hasten to add R clock is not the official time Lily showed good strength down this uh this Corridor to hold on to it and go as far as he possibly could Freddy Hurst will uh poke it almost into the 22 wasn’t too ambitious
With that it would be kind of fitting if Chiefs got one more I feel certainly be worth it a driving moreall from 20 yards well I have to say if uh Tyler Bailey was still on the field he’d like that down it comes referee says yeah we’ll play on Ted Hawking Bailey’s
Replacement is there and he sort of ushers everyone forward the men in front of him to get back in position s have to reposition themselves they’re offside and have to retreat they’re scrum caps on the floor we got get the ball back now he’s getting caught in the middle of
That Hawking Hawking does give it to pengilly oh good leg Drive Luca brano I mentioned him a little bit earlier he could be one to watch for the future Bro sa over the ball they’re told to leave it alone decent run from Hawking there’s a bit of space out here can they find their way through Lily yes he does get there Nick Lily bags the brace for extra Chiefs and they will have lost this
Match but I tell you what they’ve played with a huge amount of heart mat ban yeah heart ambition at the end of the day you talk about how successful s have been uh this year and you’ll probably be going that’s the difference but you can’t take anything away from this EX Team they
Have been Fant fantastic uh the start of the game probably killed it for them um conceding being 14 points down straight away but since that point you can’t blame anything from from XA they’ve been superb some boys have been Bailey at Hooker stood up the front rows been good
Hurst at 10 and as we said you said nobody’s missed a kick for me all day no he’s had a great game in he has he has and it would be uh kind of nice if he was able to nudge this through the posts but uh what a game of under 18s
Rugby this has been still one more to come oh he just hangs it out to the right hand side but my goodness extra Chiefs and S sharks can be Mighty proud of their effort a fantastic third fourth playoff excellent work extra Chiefs 26 s sharks 45 he [Applause]
Land sing to score in the corner quick the of the fock [Applause] back E spe For for for spe e for e Number Number 11 Well we’re here final game coming up very soon uh little rundown of what’s gone on so far cast your minds back to 9:30 in the morning Yorkshire rugby Academy got the better of harle quins in a nail biting first match London South Central then took took off uh took on
Midland Central prevailing in that ninth versus 10th Clash then arguably the tightest game of the day uh came third leester Tigers just battling out over bears as they took an early lead but it was the Tigers who uh prevailed in the end then we had the homeside gluster
Against the traveling tune of Newcastle Falcons and it was the uh the men in chry and white who uh got the better of Newcastle winning 4424 in the end uh then it was uh the magic of Jack Bracken really in the uh fifth game uh Saron running away with it four tries through
Uh the right wing of Jack Breen two from Charlie Griffin on the left as well uh and then the game you’ve just seen uh X of the Chiefs falling short to sail sharks thanks to the string pulling of OE Davis who seemed to find holes where
There weren’t any and now it’s um it’s time for the big one it’s B rugby versus Northampton Saints in this final here at Kings home the lights are on and everybody’s home there is a big atmosphere building here in gler these sides uh meeting for the uh second time
Uh this season the first came in and under 17’s friendly so these two sides are already familiar but that game far but friendly I’m uh alongside uh Sam Roberts for this uh match who will be telling us about the potential winners and losers and where the game might just turn
There’s uh some fascinating matchups in both the forwards and the backs of these two sides there are there are names across the uh both packs uh and both back lines really ones to to look out for I I I pick out the back Stefan Emanuel at 12 and Billy Pasco at 12
Pasco captains the saint side I think that’s going to be very front foot two very hard-nosed individuals two big players Stephan Emanuel knows how to win big matches couple of seasons ago he stepped up and slotted the winner for milfield at St Joe’s Festival he knows his way around the tough environments of
Big match games and and Billy Pasco captains the Northampton Saints side and and loves the pragmatism of taking the ball up and and that will be a battle in the forwards I think I’m going to go in the hookers they they’ve dominated the last couple of games actually the
Hookers and every Gallagher versus Rob Gaffin Gallagher for bath he will be a real Tyrant today I know he will be busy and around the park and Rob Gaffin well he could be he could be the the undoing really of of bath Northampton Saints a great pack some big names in there
Alongside Gaffin Sunny tongoa a really big name to bring in many ways to Northampton Saints colors and it will be a fantastic final we’ve had a wonderful day here it will really have have a brilliant day and could this be the cherry on the top I think it may
Very well be the uh replacement uh lining up for uh B to create a bit of an atmosphere for uh the men in blue black and white as they head out and we’re moments away from uh seeing some players on your screen the uh Northampton Saint side and ex and bar
Rugby both enter the field simultaneously matching up number to number that man on your screen there may be very important Eduardo Todaro remember that name the fullback the the Italian Stallion who’s head over from uh Rome to come and play at IP switch School two years ago and since then has
Let the school boy seen the light he uh starts his first Academy League final and uh will be heading back to Italy tomorrow to go and play in the uh an under 18s Camp ahead of the six stations it does not stop for these boys
Yeah this game is uh is a big one it most certainly is but many of these players will uh be feeling it and it will be about how they manage that storm how they they deal with those feelings and deal with that that sense of occasion that is definitely here it’s
Probably one of the biggest crowds they’ll have ever played in front of the lights are on at a famous ground in uh UK If not European rugby and uh it is going to be an occasion the final words will be spoken by captains and it will be about the opening 10 minutes and
Getting your first Foot Right your first shot your first tackle your first kick your first pass they want to get that right and that’s what it’s going to be all about Northampton Saints have been there done that they have competed in three consecutive finals but have not won
Any uh for B it’s uh first time round that they’ve ever contested in a Prem under 18’s rugby final so two teams at very different points in their trajectory Northampton Saints looking to finish the story bar rugby looking to rewrite the Pages we’re underway here Lou Haley gets
Us underway and already Rafe with heat is uh getting himself involved maybe too involved Billy Pasco is getting coed over yeah he’s taken out in the air is Callum Kings re by stow booy and I think he’s going to get a word at the very least oh it’s a yellow Goodness Me well
That was kind of what I was talking about before the temperament steaming in there Rafe withy and uh he’s going to have to have some time on his own on the naughty step Saints are going to have to play with 14 for a while a matter of seconds into this game
And Northampton Saints are down a man Eduardo Todaro tried to keep that in but it was uh some kick by James liner he could be a a player to watch still only under 17 bad has already conducted this bath rugby team in two Academy League finals days there’s Rob Gaffin whose opposite
Number will throw in at this line out Gallagher with the feed it’s picked up well by bar who tried to set on on the driving mall but it’s collapsed illegally says the referee so he sticks his hand out Sam gain from the bottom of the the rck finds Ed
Elliot Saints look to turn over the ball but it said it’s with gain and now here’s Theo manik into the Midfield the little tip on pass by Stephan emanuel’s A good one again Malik involved once more liner looks for that little dab in behind where ra with heat would have
Been and it has come back B’s way but no it’s been spilt and lost and asworth Cade tried to hack it down but the advantage was not ceased although Saints players in the back field still feel as though we’re playing the whistle gone and that little dinking behind by
Liner to the space in which with heat would have been covering potentially would have gone B’s way if the ball had bounced a little bit Kinder for them B look as though they control ing things quite well some some nice little bit of interplay Malik on a few short lines tip
On passes liner as you mentioned just controlling things the uh temperament question has definitely been answered positively in bar Rugby’s favor and they are on the 5 meter line pressure kick and liner prevails it’s on the 5 meter as we’ve said Evan Gallagher who’s been in the Wales under
18s camp this week he’s uh credited for his extremely accurate throwing and it shows goes all the way to the back and Gallagher now has it up his jumper good counter Push by Saints Aiden nworth cave trying to get his long levers in the way and disrupt things but at the moment
This is creeping forward through blue back and white Gallagher still got it at the backat anworth cave doing all he can to try and help the ball gain though has it as at his feet and there goes Jack Harrison leave it with the help of stepan Emanuel the Cent linking up to
Get a bit of front football for B Alex Dearing underneath the six ball to Tracy it’s a captain’s contribution to open up the scoring for B Rook Connor Tracy with the opening score underneath the six and at the moment it’s been all bath really patient really clever Round the Corner they
Came trying to build trying to find the the soft edges of the tackle and Connor Tracy oh look at that for a reach look at that for a captain score just what you want a statement of intent from bar rugby skip at this side two years running now he uh ad Dons that
Metaphorical armband with pride and you could see what it meant to him as he cross out whitewash the ball immediately flung in the air James liner will look to uh add the extras from a comfortable distance and he does so we play at a seven-point game
Here at Kings home Saints have got some thinking to do underneath those posts they’ve got to work out I mean there no Panic stations by any stretch of the imagination but it is a really solid uh start by bath and uh they’ve shown their hand Saints well they got to get their
Hands on the board to start with they got to they just got to just pull this back in try and see what they can do apply some pressure with a good kick Chase not an OV exuberant kick Chase like the last one but just apply some pressure that’ll help knock on that’ll
More like it that’s something for Saints to clap and what are we a few minutes into this game and the only thing they have clapped is a knock on from from bath but yeah Saints just need to get their hands on the ball Callum Kingsbury
With the uh with the knock he’s had an interesting story he uh has been on and off the team Sheet through injury but scored a brace in that friendly that I mentioned at the uh top of the game against saints and uh his only other star in uh the academy League was uh
Against Gloucester last weekend so he’s been uh flung into the mix late on by uh the bath coaching staff here’s Pasco trying to find that ball and Eduardo Todaro is going to have to come back to scoop it up but the referee is going to pull it back too much football for his
Liking and uh it’s instead a bath ball to play with yeah good defensive defensive shot in the Midfield Emanuel and Harrison working well to shut things down Stephan emanuel’s presence being felt there even without the ball Henry lumbley uh another one in the Saints Midfield who’s uh fairly green
He’s only had uh his other start against Falcons a week ago so he’s a an under 17’s boy as well so he’s uh very new to things and has been thrusted into this Saints side in contrast with the uh the steady IP switch Northampton Saints Center partnership they had last
Year it’s uh chalk and cheese when it comes to centers for Northampton Saints this time around these two very new to uh working in tandem with each other and hence the knock on that caused this scrum and that bar are going to look to profit from yeah looks as though they’re going
To reposition themselves and actually uh Haley is dropped back with Todaro love to see Todaro with the ball he really is a talent look at that little pass off his right hand there anden answorth cave will try and get his long legs working the pass kick pass from leis Haley
Wasn’t exactly where he wanted it Tom Dy with the Good carry another IPS School boy Haley out the back Pasco and here’s Taro onto Perkins Taro on the outside will he make it yes he will Eduardo Todaro gets the first score for Northampton Saints and they go marching back in to this
Fixture Eduardo to daro to die for I’ve been looking for that line I really have ever since I saw him nip switch colors and that’s a really neat little response from Northampton Saints lovely hands here they hold it there’s a little question as to whether whether or not
That ball goes forward Perkins loitering like a really good back rower out wide but taro’s slight of hands slight the feet he’s got it all Eduardo Taro and Saints are back in with this however the uh conversion for Louis Haley is a a more tricky one than that of James
Linar a few minutes ago I reckon he gets this Haley of Stow School formerly of uh Sam whitre of course who have produced a heavy amount of Northampton Saints products in the last few years this from Haley just wide and it’s those inches that separate the two sides at the
Moment this though beautiful back play from Northampton Saints something we’ve been familiarized to in their first team yeah taro’s first pass there love the work of uh number six Kieran Perkins the be modern school boy there just to hold create the opportunity he knew that
Tara had all the gas on the outside and he he waited perfectly to fire that pass in really neat bit of work from The Blindside flanker aworth cave collects it and Johnny Wyman picks from the base Wyman a late Bolter into the Saints Academy setup was previously with
Saron mve to Beford school and has since been uh very successful within this uh Saints Academy setup bord School contributing uh three players to this potential side Ben aanu also on the bench answorth cave as well a little sunny I say little Sunny Tonga we he’s
He’s quite large comes across and has a little whisper in the uh in the Shell light get that line out working oh not not very well though it’s uh Rob gaff’s throw a little bit wward uh his brother I believe is in attendance he will be hary boy isn’t he he
Is formerly of uh of Northampton Saints Joe Gaffin has played in an academy League final game flanker Rob now taking on the gaffa name in sa colors now this will be an interesting scrummage battle heavyweight of tongo up against Theo Malik who’s uh a very destructive scrimmager the ball quickly in and out
By bath and into the hands of Jack Harrison Good carry positive carry gets on the front foot gain all the way over the top and through break Bath gain liner good hands and there’s options here if they need them it’s Julian nun in the corner nun scores this game is heating up the beach and Cliff boy touches down in the corner beautifully worked out wide still had a fair amount to do but beautifully
Done incision from B and then the presence of mind to keep the ball alive Saints try and get their numbers it’s all very well going on the run you got to have the people with you and then works out wide to Julian nun under 17 and uh onto the score sheet for B
[Applause] Lea from uh far out the nudg is are short and wide so we will play a seven-point [Applause] gap another look at it here beautifully weighted ball out wide skating into the corner it looks looks relatively simple but difficult to do that with the sort of speed and
Alacrity they’re moving with this a really high kick from Haley as Rafe with heat looks to collect he’s back on the field that yellow card SE to and now B will look to counter the TR scorer Julian nun and the kicking behind Haley just about keeps it in possession
As lumbley is forced to crash the ball down to earth and B though of counter Ruck well really good counter Ruck coming through there this could be good turnover looks for that ball in behind Todaro though takes his time will he kick will he run it’s a kick and it’s a
Poor one it’s into the hands of Kingsbury now b in a profitable position ball flicked on and it’s uh been uh knocked on and it will be a sail [Applause] ball yeah just a a little bit of inaccuracy there pops itself forward another scrum huge uh intensity in these games very difficult to forget that these boys are under 18 not only do some of them look like men that they certainly play rugby like a a fully
Grown adult and uh as Christian day was saying a bit earlier the power with which they hit each other and smack each other it’s really striking When You See It Up close picked off the base by Alfie Hils and Rafe with he who’s uh not had the brightest of starts to this game
Unfortunately is uh manhandled by bath and I think the ball’s been turned over yes it has Malik combining Emanuel Maloney stepping and sliding this way James Maloney gain ball flicked on but it’s knocked on in the tackle and it will be a saint scrum but there was a little bit of panic in Northampton Saint’s eyes as Rafe with heat fumbled with possession James Maloney looks a good player um he looks a very difficult man to bring down
Sometimes you come across WBY Runners who are just all elbows and knees and an incredibly difficult to bring down James Mone looks just like one of those and uh really good six making his presence felt the song Echoes around King’s home When the Saints Go Marching In they’re going to March a
Long way from here these boys will be absorbing this atmosphere and of clearly taken every little bit of it with this scrum penalty Louie Haley says thank you I’ll have that and head towards the touch line decent kick from Haley Saints need to ride this out as
A troubling period of the game in a sense for them because uh this game could quickly run away from them if they’re not careful going to manage this one one decent line out Wyman to HS who heads into the Midfield and produces a great Collision against his opposite
Number Conor try Perkins Taro looks for that little kick in behind what a take that is answorth caves then looks for the nudge himself Kieran Perkins is racing after this and it’s touchdown by Harry Walker yeah really fascinating to see Haworth cave put that there on the end of his boot real
Confidence in the second rower we’ll have another look at it here how about this take from Louis Burns really clever one-handed and the offload as well glorious stuff from Northampton saints that kick uh with numbers inside I wonder I wonder whether or not there might have been a thought to to keep
Hold of it with it spills the ball this is not turning into uh the greatest of shows at the moment for r with he but we’ve saw earlier we saw the way that these players can bounce back numbers are people around them saying the right
Thing in their ear and they can do it an instant early in the game terrible mistake and then the ne the very next moment he gets the ball he goes pretty much 50 yards on his own run and scores a fantastic try so it can happen you
Just got to find your way you got to find your your Tempo your Rhythm got to calm it all down breathe lower that heart rate same gain with the ball back in his hand wraith with heat back in position he transferred from be from Modern school to Stow for sick form he’s been
Performing well there and uh part of the antel academy setup as well he’s uh been a strong performer for uh Northampton Saints uh across the academy league but tonight at the moment has not seen his finest work St School produce a good level of uh of player recent years
I think Henry poock is three of the uh Northampton Saints graduates from last season were from Stow School Henry Pollock aring with parland and Yan Baker they uh have produced some strong players as of late B get the penalty at scrum time this time and James liner
Will head towards touch we know that he can find it Well can the Kings school boy finds it really well really good kick that into the corner thought it was a bit better than the uh assistant on the near side thought but nevertheless here B go with
Another set piece they’ve uh got six there in the lineup they take it and Tracy out from the back looking to potentially unleash other players but not if Gaffin and Harry had anything to say about it that was a good double shot from them Perkins and tongo that time with the hits Tracy
Once again gets himself involved and this time makes a bit more yardage Sam Gain No and Saints look to have picked the ball and they have and Reese Harry’s is uh getting himself very much involved in uh a positive way to begin with this was the uh work of Ed Elliot
Not Sam gain apologies but he was H turned over Harry with uh enthusiasm to boot yeah he’s uh he’s pumped up for this and doing some very good work in the cace and rightfully winning Saints a a penalty Gafford goes all the way to the back but it’s flicked on and B have
Stolen it and away they go through Harrison and Jack Harrison still going into the 22 the ball comes batting back and Tracy will have to get his tus ban and brush out and try and sweep it all up for B rugby there’s Alex Dearing linat picking his options it
Goes out the back to Emanuel and then Harrison and then Kingsbury potentially towards the corner he had Alfie black it outside of him but he decided to keep it to himself Malik this time up towards the 5 m line decent phase play this Palmer Evan Gallagher Alex Dearing again so close Tracy’s already scored a try from this position can he get another so close here Saints fighting for every blade of Grass Advantage coming for Northampton Saints being offside I assume but it won’t matter cuz bar have got the score it’s under a pile of blue black and [Applause] white it’s uh the strong work of Theo Malik I think in the end this is the F from Harrison
Sitting Billy Pasco in his seat and then the score we can see who’d finish this off I don’t think it was Malik oh no I think it was yes Theo Malik the converted bat rower gets the score initial push from Alex Dearing and uh Malik was there on hand
But as you say all of that work that energy was created by that big fender in the Midfield Jack Harrison sitting down the Northampton Captain metaphorically and literally a big moment Leno with a comfortable strike to put Bar 14 points in the lead Northampton Saints once again find
Themselves in a losing position in an academy final yeah tight work didn’t rush it didn’t think about needing to go wide Trust the big men got there Advantage was coming but good to see themselves in position Malik with the score Haley gets us back underway his restart before was very
Good and this one may work with he can he reap the rewards of this Billy Pasco an instant response from Northampton Saints well that is absolutely brilliant from Saints in a way because it fell to withy and Pasco two players who’ve had a really tough start to this game game
Have suddenly been handed an absolute gift it flies over the top of the bath rugby Defender nowhere near it with it onto it sensible play he could have decided to go and pin his ear back and probably would have ended up pushed out really good awareness to bring it ball
Back inside and Pasco is over and Saints needed that my goodness did Northampton Saints need that both captains now on the score sheet Billy Pasco with an all important effort in the corner and Haley now he’s had one go from the other Wing he’s going to have to strike it from this
One if he wants to get his team within seven points deadly silent across the king’s home stadium it’s good it’s really good we’ve got a game on here oh what a kick that is I’m just looking at the crowd to see whether the split of support is it’s about level
Even though bar is slightly closer nor Lampton Saints is a really good traveling support in Saints colors here they’re making a lot of noise and what a kick that is for them to get their teeth into Callum Kingsbury just uh caught with the ball going through his hands
And restarts seem to have been a uh key point of Interest across this Academy League finals day and it’s proving to be the case in the uh first place playoff as well another good restart Chase from B putting real pressure on the Saints uh to Fumble that ball well I think anworth
Cave looked for the little flip back to uh Kieran Perkins but he was uh pushed out the way by a bar rby player so was unavailable and then the ball was scrambling on the deck and Billy Pasco could do little else but knock it on and now bar rugby
Are the ones with the ball in the 22 gain goes fishing and picks out Kingsbury who comes in off his wing and tries to produce something Reese harres is over the ball and once again he’s got the turnover Harris is fired up I think you
I mean he is raring to go good body position over it tugs at it once referee sees it and immediately gets into the bath players as a response enigmatic open side known for his uh powerful abrasive action in the loose and his uh clamp down efforts elsewhere but it comes to absolutely
Nothing as bar are the ones now with the ball after a malfunctioning line out again from Northampton gy picks it up Nino tips it on to gallaga just remembered ree Harris is the fourth Bedford school boy in this side as well liner Emmanuel who’s often found playing in that first receiver role despite
Having the 12 on his back g hit off the ball but still finds it Alex Dearing liner looks for that inside pass it was telegraphed to Julian Nan did well there and again B rolling through the phases excellently presenting ball quickly do so much on a rby pitch with quick ball Tracy the
Latest to carry liner across the face good line deing gets [Applause] away again relatively rapid board to play with over the top it’s Usher Out by rth with heat yes it is and it’s Johnny Wyman and with heat who Chuck Maloney out like bounces to a nightclub yeah Maloney fighting hard to
Stay in field but the the positioning he started in made it really difficult yeah at the moment Saint’s almost growing in confidence a little bit in defense and the way that they’re they’re managing just to hold on to this Bara picking some good lines Though once again the ball is stolen by bar Tracy to liner the bounce pass finds nun Julian nun tries to go for the kicker behind he just about collects it but doesn’t take that many meters Tracy again seems to be ever present whenever there’s a crash
Ball to be made he’s the one making it liner this time goes out the backat to Emanuel and there’s numbers to pick off here Jack Harrison through the middle can he get the offload away no he can’t and Wyman does well Johnny Wyman the scrum half with a an excellent pick it’s
On here if they go left Perkins Haley there’s numbers if they can use it and away they go it’s Louis Burns Johnny Wyman but he’s lost it Wyman who did all the good work underneath the sticks could not collect the pass Johnny Wy a brilliant piece of
Bravery in the face of the fire here to make the turnover and I called it early because it was it was there the numbers were there and they used it brilliantly oh Wyman almost getting too ahead of himself but a really good example of what under 18 rugby is all about the
Ambition to play from deep and to trust your skill set and go as far and as fast as you possibly can Crouch find same game then will feed this scrum which at the moment has been uh 50/50 in terms of penalties Linette as Emanuel in fact who was playing at 12
Liner now with the ball and decent kick he thumps it out to daro thinks about going quickly but thinks better of it with Louis Burns hunted down by those in blue black and white Louis Burns was a little bit worried that he was going to get the ball
Then taro’s got that Latin fire to him he has a potential to to push it and go rob Gaffin has to get his arrows right they haven’t been firing too well and once again the ball is stolen this seems to be the Achilles heel for northon SES at the
Moment what a pass that is to Harrison again the Miss pass Julian nun the under 17 year old with the latest carry Tom Ross looked to strip it in the yellow and blue scram cap but bar still had possession Tracy knocked back by Tom Dy bar regroup Harrison across the face Maloney
Looking for that pass out to Kingsbury lovely again for Maloney lovely soft hand Qui taken by Julian nun penalty goes B way Rees Harry’s doing potentially a little bit too much at the breakdown this time offside I think it is against Rafe wiy he was the man pointed at by the
Referee and B find themselves back in this corner if they can get this over the one white wash before halftime that would give them a healthy two-score lead hanging into the break we’re three and a half minutes away from [Applause] That gallaga with an all important throw it’s good non-contested by Northampton Saints Tracy breaks from the uh they knock it on they have and Harry’s has G away ree harr’s is ridding himself of Defenders Sonny tongle will take some stopping Wyman Tom Dy pushed back by try really good
Tackle Johnny Wyman’s looking for the ball he finds Sonny Tong [Applause] son of San Tonga who wore a saint shirt for so long Haley clears but doesn’t find touch instead only finds Henry Walker gets it back in field to liner who dances around his own teammates and tries to find an outside edge
Himself turned over again ball turned over and away they could go here it’s Alfie Hils making it way into the Midfield Lumley tried to collect it it’s a good tackle in the end to stop bar from countering that Counterattack and this back and forth action I don’t really know who it’s
Favoring at the moment Saints currently sitting with three in the back field tiring game to watch at the moment let alone playing Sam gain will I think go boot the ball off this botkit go deepen it’s knocked on or is it no it’s not they play on no they don’t the
Referee had us for a second then but uh the knock on given a change being made for Northampton Saints Ron Gilbert Joseph is coming on of Molton College the ace school for Northampton Saints the only player representing the ace school for this saint side I think
He replaces Tom Dy who had uh had a bit of an injury issue in this uh top right corner a few moments ago he takes a breather Molton College responsible for Tommy Freeman a few years ago and uh number of alumni coming through that rank really good setup over
There once again we have a bath scrum this off the back of Louis Burns fumbling the ball off a Sam gain kick it is gain who takes it Emanuel flicks it out the back to liner there’s none and here’s Henry Walker and Kingsbury trying to stretch his legs
What a tackle Alice from Taro and he’s got him in touch no it doesn’t matter though cuz Billy pasco’s got the ball Northampton Saints making a habit of stealing possession in that corner Aiden answorth cave pushed back Wyman more than happy to head into halim with a seven-point deficit and
Northampton Saints versus bath was pipped to be the game of the evening and at the moment it’s proving to be just it’s uh scores from Stefan Julian nun Theo Malik and Connor trcy that take the lead for B rugby Eduardo toara and Billy Pasco haunting bath with two scores of
Saints colors the halftime score here at Kings home B 19 Saints [Applause] 12 to score in the corner Qui and the of theist [Applause] [Applause] back to sing it to score in the corner the face [Applause] [Applause] back he’s landed going to sing it to score in the corner
Quick and thech of the Fist and is [Applause] [Applause] back he’s land to score in the corner quick the of the [Applause] [Applause] Fist going to sing it to score in the corner the of [Applause] the as you saw their promotion for the Gaga Premiership final coming up in June
The uh last time that the Saints a Saints under 18 sign won the uh Saints under ratings League final their adult side went on to win the Gallagher Premiership title as well so potentially Saints could uh write a bit of History here if they were to outright
Win bear in mind if this game finishes in a draw as it very well could there’s only seven points separating these two sides at the moment it will be a shared trophy it happened not so long ago with Lester and was then London Irish it could very well happen again this
Evening what do you think’s being said by Charlie Reid in that Saints huddle well I I think the thing at the moment that needs to be corrected is the is the set piece namely the line out it’s really damaging Saints at the moment and Charlie weed will obviously be having
Discussions with individuals around the formation and setup of that but ultimately the heart is definitely there from Saints they’ve got the they’ve certainly got the ability uh but at the moment the set piece letting them down and and B too easily finding themselves in the right areas of
The pitch it’s not so much the the execution but the fact that they’re being given the chances in the right areas of the pitch bath and and they’re doing a really really good job Saints will have to will have to play a tighter game around setpiece they have to get
Better ball and with that they can make a little bit of difference it’s it is a fascinating next 35 minutes or so what’s that bath chat like well it’s good it’s it’s I I would have thought it’s pretty positive stay doing what you’re doing continue where you are I like it it’s a
Lot of positives a lot of boys playing some really good stuff that you can hang you out on Maloney I feel um I think the uh number eight has done exceptionally well Conor Tracy so there’s there’s people um uh Stephan Emanuel and Jack Harrison they look really really
Positive in the Midfield there’s a lot of players there that you can just go and follow and I think that will be the the ch out there just continue to do it continue to put pressure on in the right parts of the pitch and this is your well
It it is there it is there’s trophy almost to lose at the moment see Luke chartes in there the rather unmistakable figure of Luke chartress just having a chat with his uh forward part as to regards putting pressure on that line out and continuing to make the set piece
Work for them a huge 35 minutes here for B rugby a history making at eight under 18 level never won it before can they go and do it will be Lin who will get us underway already cont contributed four points off the boot to this under 18’s League [Applause]
Final be influential once again liner gets us back underway the restart is a positive one one and it’s collected no it’s not it’s uh communicated by the assistant referee and referee that Tom Ross had knock that ball on those sort of things that almost need to stop happening for Northampton Saints
He almost didn’t know where that was when it hit his hand it’s a little unfortunate but those rubs of the green have gone path’s way Tom Ross of um oom school he captains the side there an influential leader and uh linking up in the pack for
The first time from the off with Aiden asth cave in under 18’s rugby Sam gain Emanuel good tip on towards Callum Jack Harrison in fact Tracy they little stuttering star before he hits contact r down the corner comes Ed Elliot of marbar college but it’s Kieran Perkins I think who’s over the
Ball he’s my favorite Saints player at the moment doing some exceptionally good work and there was another key piece especially so early in the half that turnover changes the momentum gives Saints something to go for exactly what they need great work from Perkins and they H kicked a match from Lou Haley now
This is it whether Rob Gaffin can uh string a good line out together no once again it’s stolen by bar liner floated ball over to Harrison up against Lumley and Pasco gain liner thinks about it this way and that the ball is picked up by Alfie black
It again across the face Maloney on that far touch line oh really good work manages to get away from Defenders and gets the ball to Harry Walker liner then black it again and it’s been stolen Pasco it’s a good kick from Louie Haley it could be a really good kick it is
Gamechanging stuff by Louie Haley Saints potentially look to take it quickly cuz it will be theirs 5022 lovely kick lovely awareness bath players had bitten the Back Field had come up the strip and Louie Haley immediately knew what he was going to do find that little stabbing behind and the decibel level is
Rising at Kings home and uh I think it’s going to be a change OE Hull is going to join [Applause] us and [Applause] uh it’s going to be it Ross has come off no it’s at Hils Hils in the front row no at number eight he’s oh no he’s oh it might even be ree Harry I think it is I think he’s taking one to the face yeah it’s a nasty
Gash so uh he will make way Ole Hull on in his place and he couldn’t come into a more tense scenario have to wait for ree hares I think to exit the field on this uh left hand side now it’s whether they go short here they’ve been going towards the middle
And towards the back Rob gaff’s arrows will take them towards the back and it’s again stolen by B try the ball flicked over and they’re playing with fire here Kingsbury trying to get away from wiy again the ball stripped in contact Haley left it behind though ball knocked on
And you’ve got a question the decision making of the uh Saints line out callers the line out not firing yet consistently heading towards the back of the line out the hardest one to throw to yeah and some really good work from bar to read
It but as you say it keeps on keeps on being given to them it’s the opportunity to steal it keeps on being given and that was a long throw which Paul was up and flapping it back interesting decision to to to run it wide and I thought that decision from the referee
It looked definitely forward but the net result is that uh Johnny Wyman will have a put in to this Northampton Saints [Applause] scrum penalty given and taken quickly by Wyman Saints wasting little time lumle thrusted into the Midfield up against Stephan Emanuel who’s pushed away by Johnny Wyman with Heat playing
First receiver and is introduced to the B row of Ed Elliot and Conor Tracy Haley across to Taro what can he create he does well to try and keep himself away from that touch line Wyman into Sonny tongo who flies the ball back to Haley who will try and recover some form of
Momentum for Northampton states he does really well there gain trying to get his hands into the rut but it doesn’t work the ball played across Pasco to Tom Ross taken off the base need a second there Wyman Pasco Haley out the back Perkins Perkins will get the
Score that’s a massive try for noron Saint and you’ve got to argue Kieran Perkins deserves it more than anyone else on that field yeah the BMS poor he’s done exceptionally well Kieran Perkins has been on the shoulder what a hit this was Tracy and Ed Elliot who were combining then this
From Pasco spit of smoke and screens to get to Perkins and the hand off and finish the boot yeah Kieran Perkins what a couple of crucial three or four moments he’s had in this game for Northampton Saints and maybe just maybe he has brought them right back into this [Applause] [Applause] There are a few uh only RFC Representatives who are cheering on Kieran Perkins who’s uh been playing his Club rugby there in the pink and gray shout out to them who produced a fair few of these Northampton Saints players of only Lou Haley one of bed for blues cult
Setup and that’s a really crucial slot which ties up this game some really big kicks from Louie Haley and he’s slaughtered two of them what a good kick from the Stow school boy what a good kick another good look at Perkins scooting through what a game we have in the final
Liner now with a question to answer not a lot of the rugby has been played in this Northampton Saints half in this second period it’s been all the way of the Saints Haley is taros outside him but oh no the ball is picked off by B after that good initial
Break and the ball’s actually been hacked forward I think a penalty is going to occur here for a collision off the ball what a decision that is by the referee momentum fully with Northampton Saints at the moment and that decision closing down or closing the doors on the on the man
Who’s chipped it through this was the little grab from Ed Elliot and have a look at this Collision off the ball to it was Billy Pasco who looked to get in behind with that little stab and yes there was a nudge on him off the ball don’t often see them given he has
To be said referee Brave in that decision and Saints what a piece of real estate this is Edward Delany and benck benu warming up on the touch line they could be uh getting involved very soon but the men on the field are going to be the ones making the difference at this
Scrum Wyman will feed it looks shaky it looks to be bed well Alfie Hils have picked it up but it’s a penalty to B just where Northampton Saints had a spring in their step it’s the toes that are crushed by B rugby at scrum time really good response
Exactly what you want from your Pac put that pressure on and the referee obliges with a penalty Charlie Ward and Henry bartett also preparing to make way or come into The Fray in fact Henry bartler of course started in the centers with Rory Crum last year this
Time he makes his impact Off the Bench it’s Callum Kingsbury who’s making way and uh Charlie Ward is coming on and I think it’s Alfie blacket who’s coming off it is blacket yeah the Saints change is yet to be made Delaney and agu ready and waiting but we’ll have this line out
From Gallagher first it comes all the way over it’s collected potentially a high shot yes on Rob Gaffin and Haley immediately runs over he wants to kick this ball into the corner he’s been good into this corner so far Haley don’t want to put the kaios on him
But he likes that part of gler neat kick as well oh the moment Saints are on top B have got a wiggle the their way through it’s like a a UFC battle Close Quarter stuff at the moment Saints in control but it can change they’ve got a limited line out
Here I think they they are going to go short Sonny tongoa given the almighty task of taking on the whole B rugby pack there’s not many men that can do that that he’s one of them though Wyman to HS who again pumps his legs but is potentially held up by
Gallaga Mo may be called and it’s been brought down is the ball there in available no it’s not it will be bar that’s clever defensive work from bar forwards yeah it was for a moment there I I had a feeling that saints were going to try and push them all the way over
Their line but they didn’t they’ve done enough substitutions for Saints being made yeah it’s Louis Burns who’s going to make weight it’s a straight swap on the wing Ben benu coming on straight swapping the forwards as well Ed Delaney on for Rob Gaffin bag benu enigmatic back who can create something out of
Nothing he came off the bench as well in the uh final against London Irish last year another be for school boy who’s uh been starting regularly for Northampton in the runup to uh this fixture is given the impact Off the Bench This Time Around by Charlie Reed and Mark
Hopley gain though from the base and liner will look to clear no questions asked and makes it nearly outside the 22 got to say these uh assistant referees have been extremely strict when it comes to uh where this ball is heading out of play throughout the day Saints will be
Happy at the moment they’re still in the 22 problem is they’ve got their own line out which haven’t been profitable today they go back to the full compliment at the line out yeah it’s Scrappy but it works a first line out success for Ed [Applause] Delany Wyman Haley lumely what a shot
That is more good tackles from bar coming inan emuel with the hit with heat tries to go through the middle off his wing Wyman Perkins the tri scorer Pasco to Haley again who’s caught by Henry Bartlett I think it was on that time Johnny Wyman tries to
Wriggle his hands free and finds Sonny tongoa who’s found his way towards the floor Wyman hay Taro Pasco [Applause] answorth cave the ball in behind here egg benu Ben egg benu if it’s going to be the man it’s going to be him oh my goodness what a score an inant impact from Ben
Benu it’s him and wman who linked up no one saw that Gap but him but he made it count well we spoke to benu before the game he was seething to not be playing but you know what how’s about this for an impact lovely read off Wyman and the
Acceleration through the Gap Ben a benu may just have treated Northampton Saints to a crucial crucial Try Lou Haley with another important kick looking to adopter seven-point Gap the first time Northampton Saints have been leading in this final it’s a good kick Chase but not good enough how good has he been off the tea tonight under the pressure as well Louie
Haley looks to the man of born from the kicking te another look at this try be nagu’s Pace acceleration could that be breaking bath Hearts cool Karma collected AG benu knew the job that had to be done done and he did it and he did it well liner changes
His mind on which way he’s going to go and instead aims for Aiden asworth cave who bats it back the wrong way and now bar are going to be playing with ball liner gets it back already 20 minutes to go in this game it’s still a long way
Isn’t it still loads of rugby to be played little kicking behind by Walker has come off his boot a little bit funny so doesn’t get the meters that he would like to have made just a little stabing behind yet just comes on the outside of his boot so Ed
Delaney with the line out throw Ron Gilbert Joseph just establishing the line out [Applause] orders andth cave successful but the line out not straight it’s been a re reoccurring theme it’s very very difficult to play a game of rugby without a functioning set piece and Saints don’t really have one at the Moment Wyman’s been good tonight really like the way he’s played taking his chance exceptionally well in the Limelight he picked off that opportunity for Ben benu little ball inside those two obviously spend a lot of time with each other going into the same school he uh worked as one there but now
It’s B working as one em Manuel stepan Emanuel the big game player makes it count and brings bar back into this fixture well this game is not over by any stretch of the imagination what a line what a cut Saints will ask questions about who was
Who and where they were supposed to be in that defensive line but my goodness Stephan Emanuel has thrown B back into this game look at him go no touching no one in within yards of him brilliant score from Bath and we have another chapter at least to write in this game
Kieran Perkins and Louie Haley I think both committed themselves to James niga he got his hands free to tip the ball to Emanuel and well he did the rest now liner with a crucial chance to tie the scores the kick not on a ridiculously difficult angle but every
Kick is difficult with this amount of stakes lying on it it’s good it’s pure and we’re back level just like that AG benu with one and Stefan Emanuel responds strong Minds strong heads on these players yeah a bit of miscommunication in the center Emmanuel steals through but like I said 3 minutes
Ago there’s a long way to go in this game this could go back and forth another four times or so I wouldn’t go anywhere if I’m watching this at home I would not move from your screen this is a fantastic representation of under 18’s rugby the ball taken
Cleanly and uh as it stands at the moment this trophy will be cut in half it will be shared for the year between Northampton and uh [Applause] B what a shot that is but ra with he rides it well Henry Bartlett came at him but he absor absorb the
Blow with he did really well to stay there wman straight through Johnny Wyman looking to break away can’t find the options either side I don’t think anyone was on the same way think as Johnny Wyman then with he rescues the ball and gets it off to Delaney Haley looks for that inside pass
The wiy flat as you’d like the two sow boys linking up Haley looks for the flat ball Pasco popped up Taro flinging the ball this way and that but keeping it in his grasp Wyman to Delaney it’s flip back Haley’s thinking about options finds with it he’s got Alfie hoil outside
Wrapped up in the tackle well by Henry Bartlett Jack Harrison’s over the ball not enough for the referee to go for his whistle Ron Joseph the ball is Spill liniger oh it goes to his legs he’s up against Eden K but he steps away from him and composes himself well
But he keeps the ball in field we will keep going oh my goodness here we go Ben benu what can he conjure in Broken Field we’ve already seen what he can do a benu scathing through Ben oh my goodness you don’t get much better than that Ben benu tell everyone about this
Boy what a score that is under the circumstances that is extraordinary I I wondered whether or not we’d seen enough of that ball stayed in but here we go Ben agbu from inside his own half he sizes them up one way then the other the initial burst of pace
Is enough to take him away from the first set of Defenders and then round the last Goodness Me P Ben and Broken Field is a match made in heaven as the uh changes are drawn in by both B and Northampton Saints different men will have to finish a job now Johnny mman I
Seen has made his way towards the bench Sam gain as well host of changes for bath as well yeah Leo Palmer and uh Evan Gallagher’s off Malik I think has made way as well it’s a full front row change yeah Sam gain Ed Elliot all off then on obviously benetti Jano cartright Kempton
M arasmus is on as well all changes on for bath for Northampton it’s a change at half pack B Curry is on I think Tom Addison’s made way onto the field as well with it tackled into touch oh bre I this game still got at least another try in it at
Least aen nworth cave out to wiy who tried to pin his ears back but Henry bartler with the slightly fresher legs had enough to bring him down yeah it’s um a change that’s been made a straight swap I think at 10 Louie Haley is off and Tom Addison is
On that’s a big call for Saints Haley’s been playing brilliantly well Addison good off the tea as well he slotted the winning penalty for Saints to beat Midland Central during the league standings which got them to this final here today so he knows how to close out games for Al Hampton Saints
Persective bar rugby however confident in their driving mall and keeping the ball very close and they’ve got the advantage as well Emmanuel to Harrison quick ball Lin Emanuel on the wraparound Stefan Emanuel good offload but it’s spil by Isaac M but will come all the way back
For the penalty no worries about that it’s good work at M time that bar rugby can fall back on yeah they’re doing that pit still particularly well Stephan Emanuel is a real threat sent van benu to the shops there with that dummy and uh nearly got it away
Through this the uh penalty have a look I think it’s potentially the swimming arm of uh James Barrett who’s joined us it’s the dark arts of the forwards you don’t really ever know why the penalty has been conceded Tom Allison tried to do as much as he physically could to keep that ball
In play now we’ve got a question to answer yeah so the ball was kept in by Addison but then immediately spiled back out into touch so I think instead of a line out on the 5 meter line it would be a scrum to B from the 5 met line oh my
Goodness I’m not sure whether that’s worked out well either or yeah did it did Ricochet off the corner flag and then back in ties a few more people in gives the B back line a bit more space to work with well uh Julian nun is got about 10 m squared of
Open space in front of him if the ball can get out there they could be really useful Henry Bartlett instead is trying to take it up the other end and is going to be held up over the line you’d imagine that’s great defensive work from Northampton Saints
Yeah we’re happy to absorb that one knew what was coming got underneath him absorbed him almost went over the line with him said yeah no problem we’ll take you there and we’ll get the uh the line drop out yeah good awareness good communication going on from the Saints
Team Tom Addison of uh NSB Northampton school for boys will uh take this goal line drop out he’s going to try and smash it as far as he can you’d imagine to the hands of Lino who’s going to go for the drop goal in reply and it’s good oh just what this
Game needed a drop goal absolutely superb bottle from James liner ice in the veins he uh produces the drop goal off the goal line drop out a common occurrence in professional rugby yeah you don’t see it too often I suppose the plastic pitch helping his decision making you know you’re going to
Get a decent bounce when you put it down in front of you on the drop goal on a plastic pitch and he slots it very calmly goodness me that that’s three-point difference so that that means now that we could possibly have a winner we were looking potentially like
It was might be a shared trophy with the back and forth nature but that that three points makes the difference what a great take by Maloney heroic stuff well but Aiden anworth Cave’s got on the complete opposite side of this and is going to a nuisance will this ball be
Available I think it’s down it is there’s benetti who’s joined us of milfield school he’s in the conversation for the uh Italy under 18 so maybe joining edoardo Todaro out in Italy in recent future speaking of there he is taro Addison looks for the pass to pass
Go and he finds sadar Owen ra with heat is away with heat the kick in behind Linette takes the mark clever you I find it hard to believe that that lad has got another year of under 18s rugby to play yeah it looks really accomplish Lin not
Only you know sort of the brain and the positional awareness but also the technical skill that he’s showing today the attitude the aptitude he’s got it all at the moment really good Prospect for bar at under 18’s level James liner and perhaps beyond the uh clearance kick is not too
Far and of course it was off a free kick so will be Northampton Saints ball Delaney just preparing his darts Rion Gilbert Joseph giving the mark and the orders but once again it’s a malfunctioning lineup from Northampton Saints yeah they’re trying all sorts at the
Moment to try and get the ball back and it’s uh not quite working they dummied the long throw there and then threw it short once again the ball back on b side and they’re in the right area of the field b as far as Northampton saint of
Concerned that’s where you want to keep them this far away but we know that they can strike they’ve got the runners they’ve got the ability got to be careful just over 5 minutes left to play this is uh Grand stands finished stuff if you’ve ever seen it the ball to be fed
By Isaac Ms as long as it get to that place referee not happy with how that scrum had lined up initially have a reset scrum and take another minute out of the game or so [Applause] find this uh gler stand becoming more and more Rowdy deciel levels Rising tensions lifting liner the ball just about collected by Stefan Emanuel bar rugby head towards the 10 met line Tracy putting in a few extra yards liner looks for the kick high and long Todaro will collect it and
Potentially return yes he will that little kicking behind what a step that is from Julian nun getting onto the dance floor and Bart is away now he puts a little kicking behind but it goes out on the fall so it’ll be back here for a Northampton line out which from a bath
Point of view may not be the worst thing in the world it feels at the moment as though just the bounce of the ball is going to be the difference here this sticks up for Todaro which we’ve seen on this pitch it’s a different story and uh
This little kick through if this goes off the right side of the boot this could be danger as well B building again once again the ball is stolen off line out it’s almost becoming a fact of a fact of this game every line out BS the moment it’s Alex Dearing who took that
Into the Collision liner out the backat goes nun juliia nun straightens and there’s men inside good tackle it’s a great tackle on Isaac Ms Taro could be crucial the ball slow there’s no scram half Ms is at the bottom of that what a collision between Ole cartright and nor Hampton st’s defense
With heat calling members over to this side it’s [Applause] spil first knock on from B I wouldn’t have tried that pass if I was with it I would have just tucked it under my arm and gone up and taken it in ambitious to try and find the outside at that
Stage Aiden answorth cave is batting his hand towards the floor telling everyone to just on down and regroup they have less than 3 minutes left to play here if Northampton states can see themselves outside of their own 22 and potentially play the rugby in B half it could be
Theirs but B rugby are in also Prime position to strike they’re within five points all they would need is to cross the whitewash a kick wouldn’t matter Hils put under extreme pressure at the breakdown scrum in fact Hils thinks the ball is his but the referee not happy with it
Slipping and sliding another decent scrum from B there they really put the pressure on these both parts of the set piece as far as Saints are concerned Saints having to work really hard to get the ball to the back and control it and give decent controll ball to their halfbacks to play with
[Applause] and it’s Tom dy I think who’s come back into uh into the front row for Northampton sainton will prove vital here Hils to Pasco Billy Pasco keeps the ball me pressure on Ben Curry and it’s come B’s way BW be with possession now James Barrett Emanuel flicks it onto his
Center partner in Jack Harrison Barrett Again liner there’s a boot AR stray none out the back door it goes bartlet’s out there Maloney as well he steps back in field decides it best to keep it in close quarters still b roll on liner options are plenty the ball out wide Stephan Emanuel
Pins his ear back Emanuel in the corner bath in the dying Embers come from behind and may have very well won this game of course it’s Stephan Emanuel of course it’s he I thought for a moment it was just going to elude that ball out wide I thought maybe no Stephan Emanuel the
Clutch player the man I mentioned pregame as having the konas to really do it when it matters the milfield kick comes back to mind from St Joe’s a couple of seasons ago and there he is once more scampering home for B rugby to point them in front and there
Will be time taken on this kick a lot of time liner sees it into the red we think the referee’s clock of course could be slightly different I’m not 100% sure I’m looking at him to see whether he’s giving anything away James Leer’s boot has been absolutely vital throughout this uh
Game it could add a few more extra points here it won’t we will play on oh we will have a look at this James ler you mat the man on your screen he provided the difference remember this this drop goal ice in the veins to provide such a
Finish you look back at that now clutch from liner and liner with the pass out here Harrison to Emanuel it was up against agu of all people of course it was it’s like this game was made in in a story book it’s all just about turning the pages for
Bath and seeing this game out time is up is it up they’ve done it bar rugby at the first time of asking down Saints who have been knocking at the door for years the men in blue black and white Prevail as Northampton Saints put their head in their
Hands the Cavalry come on to celebrate it was a full 23 man effort but Stefan Emanuel with two tries Pro proved crucial and James liner’s boot that drop goal that we just showed you may have been the difference it was the difference Tom Addison and Eduardo Todaro embracing
They know that they can have another go at it well toaru at least these Saints boys will be back but at the moment B rugby uh the one smiling there they are top of the tree well you have to feel for Northampton sa you really do the disconsolate faces will walk off this
Pitch but what a final what a game of rugby that is absolutely full throttle everyone playing that absolute hearts out you cannot begrudge anyone in that fin someone had to Win It Well actually it could have been a jaw but really that little moment of Brilliance from liner
To see it and to work it out that a drop goal could be the difference absolutely clutch yeah you can talk about Emanuel and up against Billy Pasco I thought they played their parts as well but the set piece you you come back to the fact
That the set piece for bath was pretty darn solid today they really upset the Northampton Saints apple cart from that perspective and that has proved the difference bar rugby are your under 18 Premiership Academy final uh winners they are the winners a really really good day a fantastic occasion and Well
Done Will Roberts yeah what a day it has been from uh teams up and down the country competing here at Kings home a prestigious ground that’s seen many wins and many losses and uh it is Bath that Prevail a lot of discussion about how to
Do this day it’s so difficult to get 14 teams to play on one day whether you split it over two but you know what you see the faces you see the people you see everyone involved you see the families you see the way these players every
Single one of them from the 13th 14th playoff to the final every single one of these players has love coming out here at a Premiership ground and playing their hearts out it has been probably for 95% of them it is the highlight of their career and yes there will be some
Hurt Pride there will be some difficulty there will be some tears perhaps those that have lost today but my goodness does this platform provide rugby at its best it’s hard to argue against that fact it really is this is the way the sport is is conceived and brought
Through and and and played at the top of the junior level yes you hope that they’ll go on and and and grow old with this Sport and go as far as they possibly can some of them will play International Rugby there are names today that you will hear later on in
Life but most of them will just go on and grow a real affection for this sport that will last them until they die and and that’s what you got to hope for that’s what everyone’s about this is why it’s so good this is why it’s so important that Northampton
Saints extended huddle is uh one of hurt and disappointment it’s uh a third stab at the final for them in as many years and well they just haven’t been able to find the answers to uh to winning this trophy over the last few years but there is
Still a silver lining to This Cloud the last time that wampton Saints did win in back in 1415 they had the likes of Rory Hutchinson George ferv LS Lam in that game who have all gone on to be nailed on starters for Northampton Saints so potentially not
Victors today but Saints as a club could uh prove to have benefited heavily from the group in front of us this afternoon and for bath well they do have the spoils as we’ve mentioned two tries from stepan Emanuel one from Julian nun Theo Malik and the captain Connor Tracy who
Will lift the trophy in a matter of moments all proving to be very crucial for B rugby Tracy especially you’ve got to give a mention to him his uh second year of captaining this side he uh put out a good performance against Newcastle Falcons last year at the stone X it’s a very
Different picture here at King’s [Applause] home Sig in s Caroline which I think is the kind of the rules to this sort of occasion you have to do it and they are enjoying the himself no doubt yeah it has uh has been extraordinary Day Extraordinary day there are there are
Some names that I’ve seen and spoken about today who will definitely play high level rugby in the future but my goodness I hope every single one of the boys that went out and played on this Turf uh this morning and this afternoon and this evening continues to enjoy this
Game of Rugby Union it’s um it hasn’t been uh especially the last couple of years there’s been some very bad news stories coming out about Rugby Union but you hope that today and the way that this sport is looking the way it’s pointing the direction of travel with
These sort of players and the way they play it’s not it’s not just the fact that they’re out here playing full-blooded high level high-intensity rugby it’s the way they play eyes up attacking rugby always looking to score a try and do something special with it really really good advert for the game
And and if this is to to show what we’ve got for in the next 20 years or so I think rugby in this country is in is in good health you got to help that you got to hope that uh the business side of the uh of the operation looks after it and
They get themselves sorted and give these guys as big a platform as they possibly can to play stay with us as we’ll have the uh Trophy presentation in a matter of moments we’re just waiting for B to break that huddle ladies and gentlemen thank you for your attendance this evening this
We would like to invite the runners up States their 23 players to it will be Northampton Saints who will head up to collect their medals it’ll be a tough pill to swallow that it really will um certainly they swung the game back very firmly in their favor
But yeah it was uh the way they weathered the storm themselves actually when you think back the way that they they they managed themselves and came back into it was really heroic yes they took to the front yes eventually bar rugby overtook them but they they can really when when
The dust settles when the emotion perhaps sinks out of this I think Saints will be very very impressed with the way that they fought in that game some really really good performances really like the work of Johnny Wyman at nine I thought he was excellent taro’s very
Special player uh tongoa grew into it uh Kieran Perkins was fantastic I tell you what they missed ree Harris when he went off there was a little bit of a game change when ree Harris went off things started to go a little bit differently for Northampton Saints and he has some
Really really good performances across the board for Northampton Saints yes they came second no one wants to come second nobody wants the silver medal but when the dust settles I think they’ll be very very proud of of an after well an evening’s Work Charlie Reed of course his first stab Northampton Saints
Coaching in under 18’s capacity will park in progressing up into the uh England setup he’s here this afternoon he’ll be proud of the development this Northampton side have made in his absence Charlie Reed taking the helm and producing a uh an admirable effort on his first time of
Asking and uh are we prepare for uh B rugby to uh and now put your hands together present the Trophy Maloney leading and through there what a game he had really influential some excellent performances yes there was one or two standout moments of of Brilliance but I tell you what they fought for each other incredibly well this evening believed in it they believed that they could do it even when they
Went behind twice they believe they could fight their way back into it exceptional rugby from Bath and uh yeah A fitting A fitting end to a wonderful wonderful [Applause] season bath rugby not as famed for producing incredible Academy products as potentially other clubs in the uh Premiership that may be because of uh the fact that they haven’t won a competition like this before well now they have and uh potentially this is the start of more homegrown players coming
Out of uh bath and those in your picture there may very well continue to wear those colors on into Premier rugby and Beyond the uh trophy handed over and it will be Connor try who will lift it B rugby better than the rest they are your under 18s Academy League champions fully deserved in the end when you think about it all the different parts of the game the set piece the try scoring and
Even the coolness to slot that drop goal off the restart clever clever stuff from B rugby and they are the rightful winners well that’s all we have for you here at Kings home stadium what an image that is to end on everyone at B Be gets a team team effort not just the
