Preview: Leeds Carnegie vs Bedford Blues

Starter this week?
By Calden Batt
November 6 2008
This week see's Bedford at Headingley, a club that has been in ND1 for a number of years, never having reached the giddy heights of the Premiership again. Whether this been down to money or ground requirements, nevertheless they are always contenders for the title.

This weekends game will be another testing game, both teams could be facing a backlash as Bedford came off a heavy defeat to the Pirates last weekend. Leeds will be looking to right the wrongs of last weekends poor first half display.

Under new coaching staff the team has certainly improved in defence conceding only 103 points in ten matches. And these were only probably as the lads were having a 20 minutes siesta, which is something you may be able to get away with in in this league, but not advised to take into the Premiership.

Then theres the 'Winning ugly' factor, which was seen in the game against Doncaster, I think it shows something about the squad that you can come back and still win despite not playing good rugby. So if Leeds have aspirations to be one of the great clubs they are starting to go in the right direction, as one of the best clubs in Europe tend to play much like us, Toulouse. They recently played the 'Winning ugly' factor, by been able to concede points but still have belief in themselves to win. Whatever the attitude of the Leeds lads I belive another five points is on the cards, Leeds can play with French flare when on top form, lets hope it happens this weekend.

Re: Preview: Leeds Carnegie vs Bedford Blues
Nice preview but factually incorrect. Bedford were in the old Div 1 (now the Premiership) in 1989 for one season and won promotion again in 1998. (Allied Dunbar days).

Some say he has a Tykes flag with team signatures on.
Others say that he's doing the same to the Carnegie flag,
All we know is that he's called Leeds carnegie signed flag.

Interesting to compare us to a French side but we certainly need to eliminate the 20 minute snooze from our game plan.

I think Calden has been drawn to the elite part of the ground known as the Paddock. The knowledge of rugby, and banter it generates is probably unequalled anywhere in the world!
