Admitting that a passionate North East and Cumbria fan-base will do much to spur the Falcons on, Richards said: “Home advantage counts for a lot in this sort of situation, and we will see. I am looking forward to it actually, and the boys are as well. It is only five points, and it is still within our grasp. There is another 80 minutes of rugby to be played.
