Twickenham dream close

Newport Rugby Club are just two games from Twickenham after a stunning 21-20 victory over Stockport in the EDF Energy Intermediate Cup.
The Fishes won by the narrowest of margins in the fourth round at Forton Road on Saturday to book their place in the quarter-finals.
Two more wins would see them emulate the achievement of Cleobury Mortimer, who reached the final of the Junior Vase at rugby HQ in 2006.
