I was worried about the "two games a season" crowd, who orchestrated the Newton chants each time he faced us. Not the real rugby fans, there was never a doubt they'd behave impeccably whatever their personal thoughts on Newton.

Aye, we'd heard of Newton alright. He was the guy who put paid to Saints GF hopes in 2005 with some disgraceful acts of thuggery, because his own team were being knocked out by us.
That was exactly the reason I was concerned of a beer fuelled reaction from a loud minority.
