  Edinburgh Monarchs

Monarchs suffered all sorts of machine problems and crashed to a shock 62-31 defeat at Newport.

Derek Sneddon was worst affected with carburettor problems, but Theo Pijper and William Lawson also lost victories through stoppages.

Monarchs will put this behind them, and look forward to Friday's match with Newcastle.

Full match details and reports from the weekend's away action will appear shortly.
