Brooke and Chase kick off the National League One season with a sharp recap of Round 1, spotlighting Clifton’s first outing at the new level against Blackheath (17–34) — what worked, what didn’t, and the biggest lessons for Station Road. We tip the cap to this year’s league newcomers (Clifton, Leeds, Tonbridge), pick our “Matches to Watch” for Round 2, and drop a quick Rugby 101 on lineout calls (yes, the dancing means something!). Plus: a wonderfully daft fan mail from “MooseFeet in Alaska,” and a few silly questions to keep spirits high in lavender and black.
