Newcastle Falcons’ Toby Flood in action against Bath

Newcastle Falcons climbed off the foot of the Premiership table with a hard-fought 16-8 win over Bath on Friday, while Worcester Warriors beat Harlequins 20-13.

Bath lost Freddie Burns and Tom Homer to early injuries, but nevertheless edged ahead at Kingston Park when Ruaridh McConnochie crossed following an early penalty from veteran Newcastle fly-half Toby Flood.

However, the hosts soon responded through a converted Johnny Williams score and Flood added two further three-pointers in the second half after Bath’s Josh Bayliss had been yellow-carded.

Newcastle duly held on to claim only their second win of the season, taking them above Sale Sharks and Bristol Bears ahead of Saturday’s matches.

In Friday’s other contest, tries from Nick Schonert and Ryan Mills helped Worcester climb above Bath and up to sixth.

Opponents Harlequins were left to rue three missed penalties, two from Marcus Smith and one from James Lang, as they were beaten despite Joe Marchant going over in the second half.

Rassie Erasmus wades into heated debate over Jaden Hendrikse antics

Look son: putting up barriers that could hit your GDP by 4% negative is dumb? You supporter that? You’re an idiot.

Triggering a 2 year countdown at the end of which the UK economy would fall off a cliff is also extremely stupid. It is beyond idiotic to start a negotiation like that and give your opponents such a slam dunk. But thsi si exactly what Brexiteers (you presumably) screeched for. You were always going to lose, but once you did that you were going to lose very badly. Nothing to do with traitors and saboteurs and whatever phrases a f1lthy n@zi like you will concoct. Everything to do with incompetence. You’re chief negotiator said “We hold all the cards”. You couldn’t leave with no deal because that would be the end of your economy. The EU would have let you shoot yourselves on the hit. Ireland wouldn’t have been able to help you there son.


Again the official UK Brexit negotiators are well known and all Brexiteers. As a Doctor like yourself will know your ‘saboteur’ conspiracy theory unless you can substantiate it.

Are you sure you are a doctor? (Dipsh1t)


I refer you to the below to examine what cards the UK in effect held:


You’re a latent homosexual right?


The EU and Ireland look at their cards and lay down a royal flush. The UK looks at their cards and gulps…It’s Mr Bun the Baker, Pikachu, a Shadowmage, a fireball spell, and the Fool.
