Stade 14- 32 Newcastle. Where do you start falcons better in every department apart from lock . Stevens is not
A loosehead but escapes due to lack of scrums in the weather.


Morne steyn not playing well and not the most creative. In the wet stade would be better. Newcastle have the spark and find this easy

Stade 16-30 Falcons
Falcons better all over the park. Stevens may struggle having had most of his game time at rig head, hunk e has played loose head prior to his ban.

Stade 18 - 36 Falcons

Falcons better in 4/5 of the outbacks, 1 1/2 of 2 HBs and just about every position in the pack. Easy away win

Stade 16-30 Falcons
Routine for Newcastle. Pack a step up overall except the 2nd row and give Slade an armchair ride. Steyn not capable of opening the defence up on current form

Stade Francais 16 Newcastle Falcons 26
Routine away win.

Stade 23 - 30 Falcons

Stade 18-30 Falcons

Routine win. Stade with no bench hinders them

Good win for Falcons.
