LAMBS V MIDLANDS
Clinicality the difference as RFU Midlands defeat LAMBS
A clinical edge saw the RFU Midlands U18s beat the LAMBS on Sunday afternoon. On a wet and windy day and a heavy pitch, both teams looked to play decision-making rugby. The LAMBS created space around the park right from the off, but the last pass didn't stick often enough.
A back and forth game saw and early try for the Midlands, before a spell of three tries in seven minutes at the end of the first half brought the game to life. The LAMBS, at 0 -14 down, finally saw their passes stick and Ben Oliphant-Thomson (Blundell’s) made a centre field break before feeding Number 8 and Man of the Match Sam Hudson (St Peter’s, York) who crashed over before converting his own try. However, the momentum was quickly snatched away with a late Midlands try, taking the half time score to 7 – 19.
The second half saw the impressive George Hitchcock (Felsted) continue to make breaks, but the clinical edge wasn't there as the LAMBS couldn't execute the chances made. On the other side, the RFU Midlands U18s were clinical, scoring a turnover try at the beginning of the second half before putting away two late tries to add a gloss to the scoreline in what was a well-balanced game played in a good spirit throughout. Final score 7 – 38.
National Director Alex Laybourne said after the game:
“We played well in stages and showed that we can play a good brand of ‘Fast and Free’ rugby. It was a heavy pitch and a windy day, which pressured the players skill set as they continued to try and play a positive brand of rugby; so credit must go to them for that. There are many positives to take into next Saturday against Crawshays, and it was also fantastic to welcome nine new faces this week.”

Irish Exiles Match Report
A pulsating game between The Independent Schools National XV (The LAMBS) and Irish Exiles finished 15 – 13 to the LAMBS, as the boys in pink recorded a remarkable comeback from 5 – 13 down with six minutes to go.
In a game always evenly balanced and full of running rugby it was no surprise that the first 25 minutes saw plenty of attacking play, with many opportunities for both sides to cross the whitewash. However, it took a superb line run by center Jacob Weightman (Durham School) to open up the deadlock, which saw him glide through untouched. The conversion was missed and only minutes later the LAMBS gave away a penalty in front of their posts, the Exiles took the points and the game went into half time 5 – 3 to the LAMBS.
In the second half both teams started to hit their stride and the game opened up. The Irish Exiles took advantage of this and a five-minute spell saw them score a catch and drive try followed quickly by a turnover try from kick off, and open up a 5 – 13 lead.
These scores spurred both teams on, the LAMBS spending time on the Exiles line but failing to execute, before the ball moved swiftly and cleanly to the other end of the field and the LAMBS try line. With six minutes to go the game appeared out of reach. However, a good turnover was fed blind and Oliver Short (Wisbech Grammar) raced 80 meters down the right wing, before being pulled down just short of the line. Strong support play allowed captain Nick Atkinson (Giggleswick) an opportunity at the line, before offloading to Henry Wills (Stamford) to claim the credit and dive over, the conversion setting up a frantic final 3 minutes with the score at 12 – 13.
The restart was claimed by the LAMBS but quickly turned over by the impressive Irish Exiles back row. A penalty to the Exiles appeared once again to be the end, however pressure in the middle of the park from man of the match Will Vaughan (Pangbourne) created a turnover, which was flyhacked down the field and chased valiantly by Joe Treigaart (Reed’s). Although the ball wasn't grounded the referee pulled Irish Exiles back for taking the player off the ball and the last play of the match was a penalty 30 meters out in front of the posts. Number 8 Sam Hudson (St Peter’s School) was the man tasked with the final job and calmly put the ball between the posts. Final score LAMBS 15 – 13 Irish Exiles.
LAMBS National Director Alex Laybourne said after the game:
“This game is fantastic every year, and this time was no different. The fixture was played fully in the spirit of the game, and the standard and style of rugby was a joy to watch. Two years ago we lost in an almost identical way to how we won today – it is great to come away with the result, but today was a brilliant showcase all round, and Irish Exiles played a huge part in that.”
