Geez what an incredible finish to this good game. Queen’s scored an awesome try with hardly any time lift to take the lead. Dale struck back with a superb effort of their own to regain the lead by a point. Queen’s then produced some outstanding focused rugby combining good handling with continuity from rucks as part of a patient attack but the Dale defensive structures were up to the task and held out for a memorable win.…
