After his team's quarter-final triumph, which contained a hat trick by Hooker Jamie Blamire, the Rugby director said: “We have put a long way when we talk about beating Gloucester to reach a cup semi-final and are still not happy.

“Some people will say that there are Gloucester's children and the rest of them, but it is basically the same side that went after exeter two weeks ago and defeated their prime team.

“Fair play for you, judge after this performance that you have some great young players, and you achieved great performance this evening. We just couldn't get rid of them and they should be proud of this effort. “

Diamond added: “We had to return to the real basics of driving Maul to win the game and our offset was well worked. We had a lot of snotty entries and only achieved three attempts, so we have to be obviously clinical.

“The sales rate will not be nice on Monday morning if we go through the video, but you have to enable the boys to make decisions on the field. They went for the corner at the right time – I might have kicked a few more penalties to keep the scoreboard in motion, but they have to make the players make these calls.

“We could have been much better out there, but Cup Rugby is just about winning. If we continue and raise the trophy, nobody will remember this quarter -finals in which we have just sneaked through. In this sense, the work is done. “

If you enjoy the view of a semi-finals and a home final, if you continue to progress, the Falcons boss said: “Of course, Bad will be a massive test next Friday, and I would expect you to become strong in terms of selection.

“As soon as you have reached these phases of competitions, the aim is to bring your A-game, and both teams want silverware.

“We want to use this opportunity with both hands and deliver a Home Cup final for our supporters, and I am sure that the people in the region will come out and come behind.”
