England stars return to find Newcastle Falcons in a flap
When Newcastle Falcons’ England stars go back to their day job this morning,
they will find their club in a state of upheaval which a 28-8 defeat at home
to Bristol did nothing to ease. At the end of a week during which John
Fletcher was dismissed as director of rugby, the Falcons were convincingly
outplayed by the side just above them in the Guinness Premiership, suffering
a third defeat in a row that leaves them rooted in tenth place in the league.
