Why would the talent pool decrease if London were relegated to NL1 ? Why would London (who lets not forget fail to attract 3,000 supporters) playing in a lower division and winning more games have a negative effect on the games playing pool? The thousands af RL playing Londoners aren't going to stop been attracted to the game because London are'nt in SL - they don't go to SL matches anyway.

Didn't think we did ourselves justice tonight, coughed up far too much ball. Credit to London, they had a gameplan and it worked. Thought there were some dodgy calls, particularly the video ref one for Robertson's try, although not seen it again yet.

Hopefully back on track with some silverware next weekend.

Hard lines Guys. Some very dodgy calls against Eagles and I think the difference in the 2 leagues really came to the fore last night. Well done and I hope you do the business next week.

Who ploughed that pitch?
Don't think it did you any favours as you hurt them wide
Knowles was a big miss
