Trailing 14-10 at the break and failing to make the most of a dominant driving maul, a bruising 80 minutes brought Dean Richards’ men back down to Earth following their flying start to the campaign.

Newcastle had got off to the worst possible start when Siva Naulago raced in for the game’s opening try less than a minute after the kick-off, Callum Sheedy intercepting a Falcons pass and feeding the Fijian speedster for a converted score.
