Bedford are making the early running in the English National Division 1 race with a strong 33 - 10 win over Rotherham. London Welsh are hot on their tails and Aled Thomas marked his home debut for London Welsh by scoring 21 points, as the Dragons maintained their unbeaten start to the new season.

Doncaster Knights Director of Rugby Lynn Howell has completed his squad for the 2008/2009 season with the signing of Tongan International lock Josh Afu.  He made his debut for Tonga in last summer’s Pacific Nations Cup along with our own Toma Toke and Hudson Tonga’uiha.
