Basingstoke travelled to promotion candidates Cleve expecting a hard task and so it prooved.  The visitors took an early lead through an Ollie Rogers try converted by Mike Goodall, but that was as good as it got.  For long periods in this match Stoke offered little or no resistance and Cleve racked up the points. […]

The Blues with a dominant second half display got their Super 14 campaign back on track. Leading 13-6 at half-time the Blues went on to win 38-13 and secure all 5 points. Just a shame it was not on UK TV for us fans to watch. Bring on the Highlanders next Friday at […]

Basingstoke hosted Havant in this rearranged Cup game under the lights at Down Grange.  Stoke fielding a young side scared the visitors by taking an early lead through a Karl Buttle interception try converted by Mike Goodall.  This was as good as it got for the home side as Havant had an easy penalty to […]

Watched the Tigers grind out a win against a spirited Worcester.  This performance must put the frighteners on the other leading sides.  Leicester seem to be coming good at the right time in the season to push for a top spot in the league and strong finish in the Heineken Cup.

Basingstoke storm to their highest points win of the season. Playing against opposition who never gave up, Stoke stayed focused from start to finish and were well worth this high scoring win.
The visitors had the first chance of taking points when the third penalty in as many minutes allowed the visitors to go for […]

What a game the Hurricanes and Blues put on.  Shame the Blues could not hang on and win it, they gave away too many penalties in kickable positions.  Look out the Reds next week at Eden park.  We will be back to winning ways.

Being an Auckland Blues supporter I am very excited about this years Super 14.
It will be a big test away to the Hurricanes today and I will be watching the game live on Saturday morning. Any other Blues supporters out there agree they could go all the way this year?

Does the fact they can rest their International players from the starting line-up show that Leicester have the strength in depth to win the league this year?

Well we always expected to beat the Scots and Italy.  But can we hope that under Brian Ashton the English team have turned the corner and are going to put up a reasonable fight for the World cup in France during September and October 2007. Who thinks we can win in Ireland and then beat […]

Basingstoke suffered a heavy defeat on this visit to Braywick Park, the side had great expectations following the magnificent display last week, but obviously not enough respect for the home side. Maidenhead on the other hand were fired up expecting a hard time from Basingstoke. With their backs on fire the home side racked up […]
