The obvious trying to get a penalty at every play of ball  is what winds me up the most, just get up an play the ball

BA confirmed the 17 will be the same. He will be seeing an opportunity for consistency especially the spine and hopefully they build cohesion. 


But there are questions over smith coming straight in replacing Jenkins, Bentley either comes on in the second row or shouldn't play, Newman needing to better direct his energy, O'Connor better direction of his crisp packet passes, I do think lumb looks like he needs a break now, he's done well mostly but needs some physical development and awareness 

Connor to take on kicking duties this afternoon. 

Bentley out Jenkins in, good move

Great impact by SL. Hopefully we go up a gear or two as cas tire.

Funny how the team looks better when we stop giving away penalties and knocking the ball on.


Lots of improvement expected in the second half.

only given away a couple of penalties haven't we? 
the knock ons have mainly come from a poor pass. it's that last pass that needs to improve. the forwards are bossing this game. next try is crucial.
as for listening to the inbreds sing get into em every 2 minutes....
does my head in

Another poor half with the ball in hand, should have scored z2/3 more try's.
Croft really needs to inject himself into the game, offering nothing again.


Think Cas may sneak a try or two so really need to be more clinical second half and put the game to bed.


Lisone having a cracker on the back of some good recent form from him last few games.

5 penalties and at least one six again. They’ve only had the ball 21 times and we’ve given them over a quarter of those sets.


Handling leaves a lot to be desired, poor passes and poor ball control.

Piss poor from croft, done nothing all game, then that pathetic effort

McDonnell should have taken that.

Made his own luck there by chasing hard Newman.
