LAST TIME WE MET
JERSEY REDS 29 - RICHMOND 13
Two tries in the last eight minutes provided Jersey Reds with all five points against a pugnacious Richmond side. The victory was deserved but the final margin does not reflect the game. Playing against a strong wind in the first half, Richmond gave themselves every chance by reaching half-time with a deficit of seven points. However, the home team were familiar with the challenge of battling the wind and eventually squeezed Richmond out of the game.
Richmond made three changes to the squad from the last game. Mike Perks was given a starting role, following his celebrated last minute try-saving tackle against the Blues, whilst Ntinga Mpiko and Luke Spring were the prop replacements, the latter playing his first league game.
