Another good performance against a team which had some very good
players.
It looked a bit touch-and-go at half time. They were very quick
first half. They definitely had the upper hand in the line outs;
their No. 4 , Chessum, was very good, both in securing their
ball and disrupting ours. Their tries came from line breaks
where they had support at speed. They looked very sharp and
defended well. Second half, we took control, and won it 24 - 0.
I have to say that the final scoreline did not reflect how close
the game felt for the first 70 minutes.
Thought Ronnie DuRandt looked particularly sharp today. Well
done all.

Report on the game from Leicester Lions
Leicester Lions 17 Rotherham 34
A big Rotherham side came to Westleigh Park in good form having
lost only one game from their opening five rounds. The Lions
played some excellent attacking rugby but were unable to hold on
to their half time lead as eventually the strong Rotherham pack
took control of the contest.
The visitors started well and their early dominance was rewarded
with a driving maul score from hooker Bergmanas after 5 minutes
but the Lions hit back almost immediately through a Tom
Threlfall penalty following pressure from Ethan Godefroy at the
breakdown (3-5).
The Lions then took the lead on 13 minutes through an excellent
move that saw the ball transferred from one edge to the other. A
wide ball from Joe Brock sent Jack Edwards clear and superb
handling between George Pearson and Joe Brock in support sent
Aaron Pope over in the corner. Threlfall added the difficult
extras from out wide (5-10).
Rotherham drew level midway through the first half when, after
some exerted pressure on the Lions line, the ball was slung wide
for full-back Du Rant to score (10-10).
The Lions were enjoying the majority of possession and territory
though and regained the lead on 25 minutes when Threlfall made a
break from a lineout play. He found Simon Johnson who offloaded
to James Stubbs on a good support line to go in under the posts.
Threlfall converted again (17-10).
An unfortunate incident after half an hour then changed the
game. As the ever impressive Pearson leapt to claim a box kick
he collided with Threlfall who had to leave the field due to a
head injury. He was replaced by Rafe Witheat who took up his
usual wing position so Joe Brock moved to fly half and Jake
Sterland moved inside to the centre position.
Although the Lions had been the better side in the first half,
it was one-way traffic in the second half as the big Rotherham
pack took control and the make-shift Lions back line were unable
to find the continuity that they showed in the first period.
Rotherham’s strong set piece meant they were dominating
territory and the Lions were unable to get out of their own
half. The visitors drew level again on 49 minutes, following
some more pressure on the Lions line, through a strong carry
from centre Hayes. (17-17).
The visitors then took the lead on the hour when scrum half
Bruzulier snuck over in the corner from close quarters and the
lead was pushed out to 10 points with a Hedley penalty on 70
minutes (17-27).
With the Lions chasing at least a bonus point they attempted to
attack from deep a number of times but errors and ill-discipline
kept them pinned back and it was Rotherham who got the last
score when winger Hedley crossed with the last play of the game
to put a somewhat unfair reflection on the scoreline (17-34).
Head coach Gareth Collins commented: ''A pretty frustrating
afternoon really. We played well first half but unfortunately we
came away from that second half and it really played in to the
hands of a much bigger and experienced Rotherham side. The
injury [to Tom Threlfall] didn't help clearly as we lost a bit
of our shape. I can't fault the effort of our lads but we must
stick to our plan for the full 80 if we're going to beat a top
side like Rotherham.''
