Tottonian's returned from a long day's travel to Guernsey empty-handed after losing out 39-0.

Skipper Paul Goodall did not want to place the blame on all the off-field issues. He was much more concerned about his side's inability to bring their home form on their travels.

From the kick-off, which was put back by 15 minutes due to a late running sponsors lunch, Totts allowed the Sarnians free reign of the pitch and the game was well and truly over by the half-time whistle.

Totts improved their game after the interval once a couple of changes had been made but it was academic as the points were already bagged by the home side.

"I don't know what is wrong with us," said the captain. "Yes, it was a long day but that had nothing to do with it. We just decided not to tackle, not to ruck and not to stick to the game plan."

Winchester's one-game resurgence stopped with a jolt as they were well beaten by neighbours Andover 32-11, who climb back into second place and leave their visitors nervously looking over their shoulders at the foot.

Without six key players, Winchester were as flat as the atmosphere at the Goodship Ground as just three people stood on the touchline - the rest were all ensconced by the action at Twickenham on the television.

They went behind to an Ian Robbin try before brothers Lester and Dan Culley furthered the lead. Fourth-choice kicker Adam Smith hit a penalty ahead of half-time.

Ed Watts scored the try of the game for the visitors but it did not hide the fact that they were outplayed by the ambitious All Blacks, leaving coach Barry Bridgman with problems again.
