   Another fantastic game at Chinnor today, and Stortford will feel they could easily have taken more from the game.

One interesting point for those more knowledgeable than me. Near the end, Stortford had a yellow card to a prop after a series of scrum penalties, and with another prop having gone off injured in the first half, it mean they had no-one to bring on and so it went to uncontested scrums. I thought that in such circumstances they would have had to have another player go off ie down to 13.

On hearing it was going to be uncontested scrums, Chinnor opted for a 5 metre line-out rather than a scrum and scored, but Stortford kept 14 players on the pitch.

A couple of minutes later there was indeed an uncontested scrum but no-one went off.

Was this what everyone would expect ?

Anyway, a full report is attached for anyone interested
