Newcastle vs Northampton at St James's Park

Not the best advert so far. I was contemplating going this morning. Glad it didn’t.

It's a lot better than the London game!

In the land of the blind.

Really?! We've not been watching endless unsuccessful scrums, so a fair bit more entertaining for me.

Forgot to say. that's a great effort. Also I can't believe these whipper snappers haven't heard of keegan (I'm officially getting old).

My point is that it’s a low bar to be more entertaining than Sarries v Quins was.

It’s definitely a worry. Could be worse, though. I can only remember him as a manager, Banquo and Dors will be discussing where they saw him make his debut later on in the thread.

Well done Falcons for taking the game to SJP and getting 30,000 there. Neat touch wearing the stripes of the football team.

Pretty decent game. Falcons will be pleased with the win, but not in their inability to turn promising positions into points, while Saints will be pleased with a very good defensive effort, 3 tries and a BP.
