Sheffield deserved the win they were the better team today.
Fax were their own worst enemies consistently turning the ball over on the first tackle most notably when we had just scored to level at 16 all and
when sheffield had been marched back another 10 metres for backchatting a penalty, and we might have got a bonus point had Patterson not chosen to kick forward again on the first tackle late on and turn possesion over again!
We've all enjoyed the exciting open rugby the team has played this season but sometimes you have to mix it up and play some basic settling sets and build pressure.
Hopefully the team will put together another long sequence of wins and learn a few things from today

worst thing that could of happened was the cas result

Calland has bigged your team up at the wrong time and heaped loads of pressure on. He practically set you up for the fall and had every supporter of every other Championship club waiting for it !

The Cas game took a lot more out of us than we thought judging by today.
Come on lets not be too down, Sheffield played probably their best game all season today, if not best it will be one of their top 3 best I bet!
We still scored 5 tries and 3 good ones as well, they scored 6 and one was in the very last minute.

Who was No 20 for them as I didn't get a programme as they had sold out again!

Lets hope so. Lets hope we got our butts kicked for it and it will be just what we need to kick on the rest of the season. The season so far has probably being beter than some people have expected and the coaches and players have had the plaudits for it, well yesterday was by far and way our worst performance in quite a while and the players are getting some stick for it, and deservingly so in my opinion. Its how we react from here that is important now. Teams are going to raise there game when they are playing the best team in the league and although Callands comments might not of helped us we have enough quality players not to have to worry about things like that because on our day we can beat any team in this league and beat them well.

Fax's problem yesterday seemed to be that they had no go-forward. They missed Watene badly. You seem to have a small squad and, if you win the comp, it'll be because you've been lucky with injuries. If you don't win, it might be because you've been unlucky with injuries. It's quite a high risk strategy.
