Briscoe was awesome before his injury. Makes great metres. I think he will join Ryan Hall in the "world class" bracket. We can kill teams from either side.

Thought he was poor handling that high kick for the try, but then again I thought Watkins made a bigger mess of the other one for the drop out I think. So I don't think it was down to experience, but I do think he should have done better.

Maybe a little harsh on Handley for that although, i see where you are coming from and he probably should have knocked it dead, but great take from their wing for the try. Most things he did and indeed has done since coming in though, have been of a high standard and he has performed far and away above what most would have expected .He has reason to be very pleased with the start he has made to first team football

Wing is a position where you will be exposed and individually singled out and tested.

Ash put in another good performance. More ticks than crosses.

The McGillivray try was a carbon copy of ones you see every week.

The defender is stationary under the high ball, the attacker has run on him and gets slightly higher. It's a well placed kick matched with a well timed run. To lay any of the blame at Handley's door completely ignores the fact there was nothing much else he could have done to improve his chances.

Sometimes you have time to take a couple of steps back then come forward again and jump. I don't think on this occasion that he did.

I think you might need to watch it again Andy. There is a few points flawed there.

He wasn't stationary for a start, he actually jumped for the ball. The scorer didn't jump higher, he was behind Handley and caught the ball after Handley had touched it. The issue was Handley misjudged it, was too far forward, and proceeded to tip the ball in the air backwards to McGillvray.

You are spot on with your last sentence, and on that this is where he could have done something more to improve his chances. You are also correct to say it was a well placed kick, but one where had Handley positioned himself correct he would have taken all day long.
