First round EDF Cup group game. Both teams put up weakened sides. They were essentially b sides. The Dragons opened the scoring from a Marc Stcherbina try after a chase from a kick up field. Newcastle came back into the game and Ringer recieved a yellow card for aggressive rucking. Jamie Ringer does tend to play right on the edge and he's usually a good bet to get a yellow card. The Falcons managed to get a penalty try for a collapsed scrum from the Dragons.
In the second half player coach Colin Charvis came on to provide fresh legs. He was dynamic in the loose and created the turning point of the match. Going into a ruck he secured turnover ball and proceeded to dash out and flick on a pass to the the supporting winger Tom Isaacs. He showed a quick turn of acceleration and darted over the line.
The Dragons added one more try through Tovey and the win was settled.
My man of the match: Colin Charvis. Great flanker play.
