Reactions from Reds DOR Harvey Biljon & Richmond HC Rob Powell after Reds 29-13 win against Richmond
The Reds produced a second-half masterclass in how to control a game when playing into a headwind, helping achieve what might appear to be a relatively comfortable bonus-point win. In truth it was anything but straightforward for a home side who had underperformed during the first half and were clinging to a two-point lead on the hour mark before knuckling down with power and composure to put the game to bed. The Reds made the early running and used a penalty advantage from a scrum to work the ball wide. Backs and forwards combined as Sean O’Connor punched a hole in midfield and offloaded to James Flynn, who quickly found Scott Van Breda, with the ball spun via Jack Roberts to Will Brown, who applied the finishing touch in the corner. After Van Breda’s conversion attempt clanged into the upright, Richmond responded into the wind with a powerful maul. The initial lineout may have been 20 metres out, but the rumble maintained momentum and Jared Cardew ploughed over. After the visiting number seven got his name on the score-sheet, his Jersey counterpart did the same two minutes later, Tim Grey touching down after a powerful run at close range. The Reds were unable to add to their points tally in the second quarter, hindered by several lost lineouts and other inaccuracies, but held their lead when Scott Van Breda read James Kane’s dummy and crunched the visiting fly-half when a try seemed likely. The wind didn’t let up when the teams returned after half-time, with an early sign of this being a clearance by Kane from just outside his 22 that bounced on and smashed into the advertising hoardings in front of the Investec Terrace 80 metres away. Jersey efforts to control the game were producing a more even territorial battle than in the first period, although initially there were no points to show for this, the closest being a break by Tom Pittman that saw the fly-half being penalised for jumping back to his feet after a tackle. Another attack by the Reds offered a glimpse of an overlap on the right wing, but attempts to get the ball wide to Brendan Owen were read by Richmond’s Jake Caddy, who intercepted and sprinted home from 50 metres. Kane’s conversion was missed, leaving the Reds 12-10 ahead. The home forwards had come out for the second half brimming with determination, and established themselves in the loose and at set pieces, with several scrum penalties and some flawless lineout execution. The Reds’ discipline was also impressive, with an estimate of only six penalties conceded across the 80 minutes. Just after the hour, a penalty award set up a chance for an attacking Jersey maul, converted by Eoghan Clarke for his 11th try of the season after Macauley Cook had taken the lineout ball. Richmond were far from finished, and pressed forward to earn a penalty close to the Jersey 22. With a seven-point deficit, skipper Mark Bright agreed that Kane should kick for goal, although some members of the visiting contingent had favoured going for the try. Kane’s kick was successful, meaning the visitors could win the game with a try. The Reds responded in fine style, securing possession from Van Breda’s hanging restart via Lewis Wynne and Sean O’Connor. Omitted from the starting line-up for the first time this season, Wynne made a real impact during the final quarter alongside another replacement, Max Argyle. Richmond conceded a penalty for obstruction, allowing the Reds to set up camp in their opponents 22 and eventually claim a fourth try. There were good thrusts by Jordan Holgate and Argyle and eventually Holgate fed Brown who broke Kane’s tackle and squeezed over in the corner. Brown’s final contribution was a defensive one as he brought down Max Trimble and dragged the Richmond players feet across the touchline when a try seemed likely, and in the dying stages a final attack by the visitors from much closer to their own line saw the ball dropped and kicked to the in-goal area by James Mitchell, who followed up to score. Van Breda’s conversion was the final act before referee Hamish Smales blew the final whistle. After the game, Director of Rugby Harvey Biljon hailed the effort of his Reds’ squad. “I wasn’t overly-confident at half-time,” he said. “The conditions were tough, but I think we managed them better. “The elements that our coaches had highlighted during the week worked well, we were accurate and disciplined, and key players stood up at crucial moments.” Richmond Head Coach Rob Powell was disappointed with the outcome of the second half. “We thought that with the wind we had put ourselves in a good position,” he said. “Unfortunately we couldn’t compete as well in the second half as a result of the errors we made and the penalties we conceded. “The game was tighter than the score suggested, but in the second half we found ourselves defending when it should have been Jersey on the back foot.”
Jersey Reds v Richmond preview
Jersey Reds and Richmond will reach two decades of league rivalry later in 2022, meaning Saturday’s encounter at Stade Santander International is particularly eagerly-awaited. Dating back to the 2002/03 season, the two clubs have built up a strong mutual respect, although the bonhomie will be suspended once the latest round of Championship matches gets underway. After ringing the changes among half of his starting line-up ahead of last weekend’s win at Ampthill, Jersey Director of Rugby Harvey Biljon will send out a more settled starting XV. James Mitchell and James Elliott have rotated frequently at scrum-half, with Mitchell getting the nod this week, while in the front row Steve Longwell is promoted from the bench to start at tight-head. The final change comes in the back row, with new signing Alun Lawrence earning a start after impressing as a replacement on his debut at Ampthill. This means Tim Grey moves to flanker, while Lewis Wynne will be on the bench after captaining the Reds in every league game so far this season. While Wynne waits to make an impact from the bench, lock forward Macauley Cook will lead out the side; Cook is one of only two players – alongside wing Will Brown – to have started all 13 Championship games so far. Prop Jack Higgins and three quarter Ryan Olowofela both return to contention having been selected on the bench. The current season is the seventh in the past two decades when the clubs have been in the same league. In 2002/03, Richmond were champions of London 3 South-West (level 7), defeating the Reds 3-32 at St Peter and 30-13 at the Richmond Athletic Ground as part of a run of 83 successive league wins. In 2010/11 it was Jersey who gained promotion, from National Two South – honours between the two sides finished even, with Jersey winning 29-9 at St Peter having lost 25-14 in south-west London. More recently the clubs have met eight times in the Championship, with the Reds winning six of the encounters and also taking the honours in two Championship Cup games. At the end of October last year, the visitors from Jersey made an impressive start at the RAG, with Wes White crossing in the fourth minute, and led 0-19 at the break; but it was a far closer affair after that, with Richmond closing the gap to just two points on the hour mark before the Reds claimed a fourth try and eventually won 20-26. Jersey Reds 1st XV squad v Richmond (H) – RFU Championship match 14/20, Stade Santander International, Saturday January 29th 2022, k-o 2pm Backs (15-9) Scott Van Breda; Brendan Owen, Jack Roberts, Jordan Holgate, Will Brown; Tom Pittman, James Mitchell. Forwards (1-8) James Flynn, Eoghan Clarke, Steve Longwell, Sean O’Connor, Macauley Cook (capt), Alex Humfrey, Tim Grey, Alun Lawrence. Replacements (16-23) Harry Doolan, Roy Godfrey, Jack Higgins, Tom Everard, Max Argyle, Lewis Wynne; James Elliott, Ryan Olowofela.
Jersey Reds tries v Ampthill
The Reds returned to winning ways thanks to a hard-fought win against a resilient Ampthill, coming from behind to seize victory through Jordan Holgate’s try with 12 minutes to play. After successive defeats to Bedford Blues and Doncaster Knights either side of the New Year break, the visitors started with real determination and dominated the first 25 minutes. Possession was secured directly from Scott Van Breda’s hanging kick-off and the home side’s defence came under immediate threat. A scrum offence and several other penalty concessions gave the Reds a series of opportunities, but attempts to get a rolling maul going were unsuccessful, the nearest effort being held up over the line. The frequent use of grubber kicks behind the defence almost paid dividends when Van Breda was just beaten to the touchdown of a Pittman grubber, but the next time the Reds fly-half threaded a kick through the home defence couldn’t deal with it and Brendan Owen pounced to score his third try of the season, with a fine conversion added by ‘SVB’. The Reds carried on in the same vein and looked by far the most likely side to score next, with Ampthill not helped by the loss of debutant scrum-half Harri Morgan with an ankle injury early in the second quarter. But having soaked up a considerable amount of pressure, the hosts then struck on the counter. Having dropped a kick near his 22 minutes earlier, Joe Goodchild atoned with a run out of defence after fielding James Elliott’s box-kick, chipping over the cover and regathering. The ball was kept alive with great hands from Joe Bercis and Josh Bragman before Ben Cambriani applied the finishing touch with a 35-metre sprint down the left touchline to score. In spite of their overall dominance, the Reds had nothing to show for it on the scoreboard. Further chances came to nothing, while the hosts had to play with 14 men after Cambriani cynically prevented the Reds recycling ball from a breakdown close to his own line. At one stage prop Luke Yendle crossed the line but was again held up, while there were some powerful runs from – among others – Jack Roberts and Tim Grey. It looked as if the attacking lineout option was finally bearing fruit on the stroke of half-time. A maul rumbled towards the try-line before stalling momentarily with direction from the referee to use the ball and the whistle blowing just before Eoghan Clarke dived over the line. It was close, but no try… and there was no more time as the half-time whistle blew. With efforts to capitalise from attacking lineouts having failed to bring points, it was no surprise to see Van Breda opt for the posts when the Reds won a penalty in the centre of the field 10 minutes after the resumption, and the full-back bisected the uprights to restore his side’s lead. Shortly afterwards it was Jersey’s turn to go down to 14 men with an over-physical entry to a ruck by Eoghan Clarke sparking a scuffle and a yellow card for the hooker. Ampthill took advantage to kick to the Reds’ 22 and then replacement scrum-half Kevin Barrett sprinted through a yawning gap to almost reach the line, something Bercis was able to do two phases later with the try awarded following consultation between the officials. The visitors needed to dig deep in order to wipe out the deficit and showed an increased inclination to keep ball in hand. Van Breda’s massive touchfinder from a penalty set up more than a dozen phases of play, with debutant Alun Lawrence playing a prominent role, but a potential scoring pass from Will Brown to Lewis Wynne went to hand. The decisive move came after the Reds attacked from halfway after fielding a clearance kick. Several phases put the home defence under stress, and when it came, the try was a simple one. James Mitchell took possession from a ruck, glanced left, hesitated momentarily and then delivered a short pop-pass to Holgate, who was running a devastating line and raced to the try-line. Van Breda converted and the Reds had a five-point lead. The final 10 minutes featured half-chances for both sides, but the Reds were able to defend in relative comfort and had a chance to move clear when the pack won a scrum penalty in the penultimate minute. Van Breda summoned the tee and lined up from 30 metres out, but his high kick was adjudged (by the officials, with the kicker appearing to belong to a different school-of-thought) to have passed just to the wrong side of the upright. The missed kick, Van Breda’s first of the game, meant Ampthill clung on to their losing bonus point and still had an outside chance of victory. But regaining possession from the 22-metre drop-out proved beyond them, and the Reds controlled the ball for a few vital seconds before Mitchell acted on the referee’s ‘time’s up’ advice and kicked it dead.
Tries v London Scottish
The Reds produced an impressive display to deliver a gift-wrapped bonus point victory to their supporters in the final home game of 2021. Four first-half tries were at the heart of the display, with London Scottish being outmuscled and exposed out wide on several occasions. The Reds opened the scoring from their first line-break as a flat pass from fly-half Tom Pittman sent Jordan Holgate racing through. Holgate’s pass to Ryan Olowofela left the wing with plenty to do from 35 metres out, but he accelerated round the outside to score. Two Harry Sheppard penalties from the same location, 36 metres from the posts, gave the Exiles a narrow lead before the Reds responded with a try from a driving maul, finished by Steve Longwell. Jersey’s 19-year-old hooker Harry Doolan had an early taste of the action when Eoghan Clarke was forced from the field with a head injury after just five minutes, with the replacement playing his part in a committed display by the home pack. The Reds raised their game in the closing stages of the half. Olowofela raced through again and supplied a scoring pass to Macauley Cook, and then from closer range Max Argyle fed Holgate for the bonus point score. Former Jersey hooker Nick Selway gave the Scots hope when he scored from a rolling maul early in the second half but then the Reds cranked up the pressure through their forwards. There were also occasional threats out wide, with Olowofela coming very close to an interception score at one stage. The Exiles resisted strongly at first, but were conceding multiple penalties and eventually the referee lost patience and sin-binned replacement prop Alex Gibson for one scrum infringement too many – the visitors eventually conceded a total of 18 penalties to 10 by the home side. The Reds carried on attacking through the forwards but then worked the ball wide during another period of penalty advantage – as the ball was spun wide, new signing Ioan Davies fed Brendan Owen for a try in the corner, impressively converted by Pittman. Director of rugby Harvey Biljon was pleased to see his Jersey side take their chances. “We couldn’t always play at the speed we wanted to, and Scottish battled hard, but the boys were pretty clinical, especially at the back end of the first half,” he said. London Scottish director of rugby said: “Our defence let us down in the first half – we were too tight at the breakdown and Jersey punished us. “I was super-proud of the guys’ performance in the second half, the defence was excellent and we made a real contest of it. It was a tough day but we’ll learn a lot from this.” With matches involving the top two having been called off, the bonus point victory was enough to see the Reds go above Cornish Pirates into second place in the Championship, two points behind leaders Ealing.

Nottingham v Jersey Reds preview
A tight encounter is in prospect this Friday night as Jersey Reds renew their rivalry with Nottingham. Although the Reds are currently higher in the Championship rankings than their hosts, recent history shows a series of close encounters when the two sides meet at Lady Bay. The Green-and-Whites were victorious by 24-20 the last time they entertained the Reds at Easter 2019, while the previous encounter was drawn 19-19 on the first Friday of December in 2017. Prior to that meeting, the Reds won 19-24 in January 2017 and 15-22 in March 2016. Overall the Reds have won 10 of the 16 Championship match-ups between the clubs, with five Nottingham victories and the one draw. The most recent encounter was at Stade Santander International last April, when the Reds celebrated their first home league match for 60 weeks by scoring nine tries and winning 55-12. After a tough day at the office for his squad last Saturday, when they defeated second-placed Cornish Pirates 15-5 in atrocious weather conditions, Director of Rugby Harvey Biljon drafts five fresh faces into his starting XV. New signing Tom Everard - see earlier announcement - will start in the second row as Macauley Cook switches to the bench, while in front of him Luke Yendle gets an opportunity at tight-head, with Steve Longwell joining the replacements. In the back row, Max Argyle moves across to number eight in place of the injured Wesley White, with Alex Humfrey coming in at blind-side flanker. James Elliott comes in at scrum-half, rotating with James Mitchell, while Jordan Holgate is back in the midfield with Dan Barnes moving to the bench. The Jersey bench also includes 20-year-old Max Ayling, who is in line for a competitive debut after arriving on the Island this summer. The fixture if one of just two of the Reds’ 20 league games not being staged on a Saturday this season, the other being the trip to Cornish Pirates on the final Sunday of February. After their return from the east Midlands, the Reds will build up to Christmas with successive home games at the Stade, with Coventry and London Scottish the visitors on Saturday December 11th and Saturday December 18th. Although Jersey Reds Athletic scheduled home game on Saturday was cancelled, Jersey Reds Women will be in action with a trip to Horsham on Sunday (k-o 2pm). Jersey Reds 1st XV squad v Nottingham Rugby (A) – RFU Championship match 9/20, Lady Bay Sportsground, Friday November 2nd, k-o 7.45pm (* competitive debut) Backs (15-9) Brendan Owen; Harry Simmons, Jack Roberts, Jordan Holgate, Will Brown; Sam Leeming, James Elliott. Forwards (1-8) James Flynn, Eoghan Clarke, Luke Yendle, Tom Everard*, Sean O’Connor, Alex Humfrey, Lewis Wynne (capt), Max Argyle. Replacements (16-23) Harry Doolan, Roy Godfrey, Steve Longwell, Max Ayling*, Macauley Cook; James Mitchell, Tom Pittman, Dan Barnes.
