Nugent is the difference
The Rugby Paper

RAMS slipped to a second straight narrow defeat as they went down by two points at home to Richmond under the Friday night lights.
With a record crowd of 1,829 at Old Bath Road, the rain swept in as National One’s top two prepared for kick-off, the hosts making a poor start as they were unable to exit cleanly from the kick-off.
The Londoners pinned their opponents in their own 22 and, following a series of carries from close range, No.8 Sam Pim crashed over next to the left-hand post.
Callum Grieve knocked over what would ultimately prove the decisive conversion, Richmond continuing to come on strong before the fullback missed a straightforward penalty attempt to extend their advantage.
