Newcastle Falcons score late on to see off struggling Zebre

10 Apr 2022

Newcastle Falcons narrowly avoided embarrassment as they hit back to beat rock-bottom Zebre and advance to the last 16 of the European Challenge Cup.

Falcons needed a late try from Cameron Nordli-Kelemeti to snatch a 25-22 win over their already-eliminated opponents, who had lost all their United Rugby Championship games this season.

Five Antonio Rizzi penalties put the Italians in control for long periods but the Falcons recovered to confirm second place in Pool A, and a last-16 clash with Glasgow Warriors.

Biarritz edged out pool winners Toulon 20-17 to guarantee third place in the group and also a spot in the last 16.

Hooker Santiago Socino scored a hat-trick of tries as Gloucester extended Dragons’ winless run to 12 matches with a 26-21 victory at Rodney Parade, while Benetton beat Perpignan 17-7.

Blues should feast on the Crusaders with Beauden Barrett's cool head

There’s really no hope for you Hamish if after all this time, and all this talk, you haven’t learned what a good post season make up is.

That you also think the Blues will win the final despite you saying they will lose to the Crusaders also reflects perfectly the level of comprehension you seem to have when it comes to sport.

James Parsons names his four locks for All Blacks loose forward selection

If u play Ardie at 7 and Wallace at 8 then whoever plays 6 has to be a ruck hitting tackling machine because u don’t want either of those 2 getting to caught up in rucks both sides of the ball and ending up on ground it’s not why u select them…who is that dude? Is it Finau or Parker? or is it a Jacobsen who does that but then he plays 7, a fit Blackadder can do that at 6 but he just doesn’t stay on the paddock …I reckon give Finau a go he never looks out of place in the international stuff he has played and Wallace got to maybe make few more tackles hit few more rucks than he does at Chiefs I want Ardie up on his scanning looking for turnovers and or getting ball in his hands creating carrying causing chaos Chur!!! bench Loosie I would go Lakai consistent all round skills goes well grafting got that X in his attack
