Socino not to blame - Richards
- 181
Newcastle Falcons director of rugby Dean Richards has absolved Juan Pablo Socino of blame for Sunday's Premiership defeat by London Irish.
Although Falcons scored three tries, the Argentine centre missed five of six kicks while the Exiles landed two penalties and two conversions.
Those efforts proved crucial as
Newcastle lost 20-18.
