The 'fantastic' Steve Diamond verdict on Newcastle beating Saracens

Steve Diamond believes Newcastle “left 10 points” on the pitch following their hard-fought 17-12 win over Saracens at Kingston Park. The Falcons lifted off the foot of the Gallagher Premiership table thanks to tries from Alex Hearle and Adam Radwan along with a Brett Connon penalty.

Friday’s victory was Newcastle’s fourth successive win after three Premiership Rugby Cup triumphs and comes following reports earlier in the week that the club has been put up for sale. Director of rugby Diamond revealed he asked his side to put themselves “in the shop window” in recent weeks as they picked up their second Premiership win of the season.

He said: “There has been some turbulence off the field, or would be perceived as turbulence i.e. the club going up for sale, which is a positive, a real positive. I asked the lads over the last couple of weeks to put ourselves in the shop window and they did it last week against a very strong Sale side, that went amiss – it was ‘only the cup’ as people would say.

“Then we got our first chance back in the league and we left 10 points out there if I’m perfectly honest. Can you imagine if we do get investment how good we will be? Can you imagine spending twice the amount of money like the other clubs do? It would be fantastic so that is what we are looking to do.”

Connon put the first points on the board for the Falcons with a penalty, but Saracens took the lead when Tobias Elliott crossed. Newcastle instantly responded through Hearle and Radwan and they put on a fantastic defensive display in the second half, which saw only Tom Willis squeeze through to score a try in the final minutes. Hugh Tizard was then shown a red card at the death for a challenge on Sammy Arnold.

Reflecting on the game, Diamond added: “The elements helped us a little bit, there was a hellish wind out there first half and it completely died at half-time. We chose to go with it, which sometimes you would never do, certainly at your own ground.

“But Callum (Chick) made the right decision and from minute one they gave penalty after penalty in the first 15 minutes. If that happens to you, you get unsettled as a team, certainly away from home. That happened to Sarries, we managed to unsettle them.”

Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall admitted his side were under pressure in “most areas” throughout the game. He said: “They were much better organised than we were, they looked better coached than we were. They thoroughly deserved to win the match.

“It was every area today, it started with our penalty count which was huge. They had a strong wind in the first half and that kept dumping us back into our 22, then it kind of unfolded from there a little bit. We lost some lineouts and scrums under pressure, we were under pressure in most areas. All credit to them.”

Can Rugby Australia afford to go ‘all in’ on the Queensland Reds?

HOW I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK MY STOLEN BITCOIN THROUGH (FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY.


I would never have dreamed that a second could change everything. One minute, I am sitting in the café working on a project. The next minute, my laptop is gone-took in two seconds. That was not merely a device being stolen. On that laptop, my entire future financial life-some $630,000-worth of Bitcoins-was located. I refused to believe that just the first moment it had happened, and I began a crazy search all over the café, as if I'd misplaced it. But deep down, I knew it: It was gone. The realization hit like a punch to the gut. Not only had I lost my most important work tool, but I had also lost years of careful savings.

Then, panic hit. I hadn't ever backed up my wallet. The thought of losing it all made me feel physically sick. My mind raced through all the things I could have done differently, all the ways I could have prevented this. But regret wouldn't bring my Bitcoin back.

Desperate, I began searching for solutions. That was when another designer spoke about Folkwin expert Recovery. The first thought that came into my mind was, could anyone actually recover stolen cryptocurrency? But I reached out because I had no other options.

From the very first conversation, I knew I was in the right hands. Their team wasn't just professional; it was really very understanding. They never made me feel silly because I didn't have a backup. They only reassured me, explaining each step of the recovery process to me. They had dealt with cases like mine before and were determined to help.

The waiting period was excruciating. There were days when I lost hope, convinced my funds were gone forever. But the Folkwin expert Recovery team kept me updated, using advanced blockchain tracking and forensic tools to trace my stolen assets.

Then, after weeks of work, I got the call—they had recovered my Bitcoin. The relief was indescribable. It felt like getting my life back.

They not only helped me recover my money but also, beyond that, they improved my security: through their app providing real-time security alerts, encrypted backups, anti-theft, of which I had no idea.

This experience taught me a hard lesson about digital security, but it also showed me that even the worst situations can be turned around with the right experts. I owe them everything at Folkwin expert Recovery, and if you ever find yourself in the same nightmare, don't hesitate to reach out to Folkwinexpertrecovery (@) tech-center (.) com , Whats-App: +1 (740)-705-0711 for assistance.
