So Close

We came very very close to beating the league leaders but in the end we had to settle for two hard earned points at Scottish....

Right at the death we could have snatched it, but referee Dean Richards ruled that Nick Fenton-Wells had been held up over the line, and Scottish escaped with a 36-30 win to keep their unbeaten record.

If you had offered the Blues players before the game that they would come away with two bonus points they would have bitten your hand off.

But now they have set the standard and should go to Plymouth this week with new confidence.
