It was a great game on a cold night. Nottingham blasted a spirited Cambridge side 22-19 at Lady Bay last Friday to briefly take second place in the Championship for a short time. Given that the top tier is locked up and will remain so, to the Archers, they were near the top of the English rugby pyramid. A crowd of about 1,000 people enjoyed a close match that showed how competitive the second division of English rugby can be. The DJ's songs created a buzzing atmosphere. Plenty of young spectators attended the cheap tickets, including many students. The coffee was good, the food was good, and the rugby was good. There is life under the Premiership's and real value. Nottingham has a rich tradition of developing Test talent for England, from Brian Moore and Rob Andrew to Tom Youngs, Dan Cole, Will Stuart, and Ollie Chessum. However, they and their opponents are struggling with reduced funding and restructuring efforts initiated by the RFU and PRL, which they don't like.

Freddie Burns is sitting in the bar of the Brooklyn Hotel in Leicester as a couple of teenagers walk by and call out his name. 'We love you, Freddie,' they scream as they snap a snapshot of the city's new cult hero. He declines a drink, focusing on how he consumed more alcohol after his last-minute drop goal snatched the Premiership crown in June. Rather, he opts for a Coca-Cola. The No10 has a chuckle as it is thrown right back to the limelight at 32 years old.' 'I always knew I'd be remembered as the guy who dropped the ball against Toulouse.' I can't tell you how much s*** I got for that. People would talk about Freddie Burns and their reaction would be, "Oh yeah, that t***!"
