I love Newcastle Rugby

George McGuigan, the Under-20 international hooker for Ireland has been a revelation for the Rugby Football Union Championship club the Newcastle Falcons and the club has decided to reward him for his steady improvement with a new one year deal which will keep him at the club till the end of next season.

Although McGuigan is yet to break into the first team for The Falcons, he has been a regular member of the age group squads for the Ireland national team and has also had plenty of game time at National One at Tynedale.

Kieran Brookes, the prop for the Aviva Premiership Rugby Football Union club the Leicester Tigers has re-signed with former club the Newcastle Falcons that is currently leading the table in the Rugby Football Union Championship and are looking favorites to return to the Aviva Premiership after just one season away. The Falcons has signed their former star on a dual registration deal with The Tigers in an agreement that will run till the end of the season.

Rugby Football Union Championship side the Newcastle Falcons have made no hesitation in stating that they would love to add a lot of style to the substance of their play which has seen them race to the top of the Championship standings and becoming favorites to secure immediate promotion back to the Aviva Premiership but insisted that the club would not compromise the cutting edge of the side in the pursuit of aesthetical play. Dean Richards, the Director of Rugby of the club has repeatedly stated that he wishes to quicken the pulse at Kingston Park.

Rugby Football Union Championship side the Newcastle Falcons galloped their way into the quarter final stages of the British and Irish Cup after recording a 15 try washout of the part timers from Wales, Newport.

At some points in the match, it felt that it wasn’t a match taking place but a playground bullying in front of everyone’s eyes, however, in spite of the clear disparity in class and athleticism, it has to be remembered that this was the same side that had won the second half of their match against The Falcons just eight days back.

James Fitzpatrick has backed the RFU Championship Rugby Union club the Newcastle Falcons to be at the top of their game when they take on the visitors from Wales in the form of Cross Keys in the British and Irish Cup opening game. The centre is set to be handed a start in the match as Dean Richards, the Director of Rugby of The Falcons is set to blood a number of the talented youngsters form the backline of the club.

Greg Goosen, the full back for the RFU Championship side the Newcastle Falcons has finally completed his loan move to the French side Agen, making his competitive debut for the side as well.

The 29 year old came on as a substitute in the 67th minute for his new club as the side won by a margin of 32-26 at home against Grenoble, registering their first win of the season to life themselves off the foot of the table after a winless start till then had seen them languish at the bottom.

Newcastle Falcons’ head coach has commented saying that his team s ready to play by the new rules that are going to be implemented in the game. The International Rugby Board has put on trial nine new laws for the new season.

Out of these nine laws, six will be very crucial for Newcastle Falcons and will be affecting its performance on the field.

James Fitzpatrick and the other players of the Newcastle Falcons RFU Championship Rugby Union team have earned themselves a well deserved rest as the side from Newcastle upon Tyne takes a breather and thinks about the next phase after an extremely grueling pre-season.

The players, who began their preparations for the new season 6 weeks back ahead of the new season in the RFU Championship, aiming to get promotion back to the Aviva Premiership at the first time of asking have all been given a week off.

Chris York, the number eight of the Aviva premiership winning Harlequin FC has officially been unveiled as the eighth new signing of the Newcastle Falcons as the club continues a restructure and re-shape of its squad after finishing dead bottom in the Aviva Premiership in 2011/12 season and almost certain to be relegated to the RFU Championship if the London Welsh win their appeal against their promotion.

Dean Richards, the former Director of Rugby at the Aviva Premiership side Harlequins Football Club has been assigned the same role with another Aviva Premiership side, the Newcastle Falcons, a position that he will take up from the start of the new season.

But the question remains is whether Richards will have to take charge of the side when it will no longer be in the Premiership because as things stand at the moment, they are the favorites to go down from the top league of English rugby.
