Just hoping the idiots "running" the game don't cancel it again.

Re: Quin's in the cup
Well that was a game of rugby .
We fought for every ball. I have to be honest, I'm disappointed that we left a few tries out on the field. But to win that way, to play that way, against a Quinn's side that always give us a great game, I'm over the moon. Long may this brand of rugby continue.

Re: Quin's in the cup
What a great Saturday afternoon!
Top of the bank, glorious September sunshine and an extremely fit, committed and skilful Steelmen team. I haven’t enjoyed watching them as much as that for a few seasons.
Chippy’s influence is obvious and will hopefully continue the improvement.

Re: Quin's in the cup
Hard not to be impressed with that!
Pace. Sharp cutting attack. Fierce defence once again. Intelligence decisions of when to kick, when to keep it. Faultless goal kicking.
Enjoyable, fast past attacking rugby. In fairness to Carmarthen, when they got some ball they played nice positive rugby too. Both sides came to play. Same as v N*****t, Ebbw competed every single tackle and ruck, chased every ball. Commitment and it paid off several times.
Being very picky it could be argued that poor handling squandered quite a few try chances in the first half which would have put us absolutely out of sight by half time. Scrum went a bit odd after initial success and some of that may well be the angle of Quins prior to the set that went uncalled.
Not convinced by our yellow card either - ball was passed as close range to the chest and was then dropped trying to gather but didn't change things.
If the only thing to grumble about is that we weren't further ahead by half time then its a good game.

Re: Quin's in the cup
Was a very enjoyable afternoon, the work that all the coaches have put in is showing itself on the pitch, total commitment from all involved.

Re: Quin's in the cup
Can someone explain the format of the cup competition, is it just the top team in the group that goes through? Is there bonus points? Help ☺
Villa, we are coming for you!!!!!

Personally i think its daft. It was brought in during COVID to ensure some sort of outcome to a season if it had to be cut short. I really dont think theres a point to it now.Premiership Cup: 12 clubs / 4 Groups
Championship Cup: Knock-Out format
Division 1 Cup: 59 clubs / 15 Groups
Division 2 Cup: 48 clubs / 12 Groups
Division 3 Cup: 70 clubs / 18 Groups
Division 4 Cup: 35 clubs / 9 Groups
Division 5 Cup: 60 clubs / 17 Groups
The winners of each group then qualify to the knockout stages of each respective competition
I feel it just repeats the league and devalues that to an extent.
To me, a cup should be knock out and all teams from all levels get a shot at it as we had previously.
