Rugby: Three-week break ‘frustrating’ after Lady Bay victory

The Reds came from 11-0 down to beat Nottingham 24-19 at Lady Bay Sports Arena on Sunday afternoon, a result which ensures they leap to sixth in the table, just one point adrift of the play-off positions.

But, with his team on a run of three successive victories, and his players awaiting the next challenge with bated breath, Biljon says it’s a shame the Reds have no fixture until 18 February.

Jersey had been due to play London Welsh on Saturday but the Exiles were thrown out of the competition last week by the RFU after going into liquidation.

‘I understand the circumstances surrounding Welsh so it’s difficult commenting but we have a little momentum … a lot of confidence and then this game, which was tough to come through,’ he said. ‘I would have really enjoyed a home game against Welsh and I feel we could have given them a real go.
