Delaney glee at bonus-point win

Delaney was impressed with his side's battling win

Nottingham director of rugby Glenn Delaney was delighted with the 31-20 four-try Championship win at Moseley.

He said: "Getting a bonus-point win at Moseley is difficult but we moved 17 unanswered points when we were up 21-3.

"We lost composure and rose to a bit of niggle which didn't help but in the last 10 minutes we looked pretty good."

First-half tries from David Jackson (2) and Tim Streather put Delaney's side in control and Tom Youngs' try sealed the win despite a Moseley fightback.

The Green & Whites raced into the lead when Streather's break allowed Jackson to go over for an early converted try.

Streather added the second five-pointer soon after and Jackson went over in the corner for his second of the afternoon to establish a 21-3 lead.

You only have to look at the cup final last year where they beat Leeds at Twickenham, to know Moseley can be a very good side

The home side hit back however. A penalty try, which saw Nic Rouse sin-binned, and a further score from Neil Mason left them trailing by just four points at the interval.

But a full-strength Nottingham regrouped and closed out the match late on. Youngs went over after good work by the pack and Tim Taylor added a drop goal.

Delaney added: "We got the driving game going and it shut the game down, so a bit of dominance there got us through.

"It's always nice to get a five-pointer with the four tries - it's good to see.

"Moseley scored a couple of good tries but they are regrouping at the moment after a couple of big losses.

"It was another hard game for them but we know how good they can be.

"You only have to look at the cup final last year where they beat Leeds at Twickenham, to know they can be a very good side.

"Every time we go to Billesley it's a close game that we know could go either way until the very end - we just came off right this year."

Nottingham face the Birmingham and Solihull Bees at Meadow Lane on Sunday.
