Scott Lawson hopes some of the 30,174 who witnessed last weekend’s St James’ Park heroics can be tempted back to Kingston Park Stadium on Good Friday when Newcastle Falcons host French club Brive in the quarter-finals of the European Challenge Cup.maxbet

The Scotland hooker was part of the Falcons squad which defeated Northamtpon 25-22 at the home of Newcastle United last Saturday, saying: “We had an unbelievable number of supporters watching us play last week, the experience was good and hopefully some of those guys can come back to Kingston Park to see a quality game of rugby.

“We want to get more people in here, we had a good showcase on Saturday and it’s something we hope to build on.”

Looking back on last weekend’s exploits, Lawson said: “We talked a lot last week about the occasion of St James’ Park, but when we came in on Monday to review it we just proceeded as normal, taking that out of the equation.maxbet

“We reviewed it purely as a rugby game, analysing what we did well and not so well, and that’s the process which has stood us in good stead. At this time of year there’s a little bit more at stake, but we have to remember what has got us here and just keep doing it.”

The Falcons qualified for the European Challenge Cup quarter-finals as the second seed in the tournament, winning all six of their group games against Welsh side Dragons, French club Bordeaux-Begles and Russian outfit Enisei-STM.

“We’ve done well in this competition, our group stage form got us a home quarter-final and it’s a game we’re looking forward to off the back of a great occasion at St James’ Park last weekend,” said Lawson, who starts against Brive.maxbet
