Was the only one keeping his head early when we were playing poorly, and his range of passing was excellent.
We were well off the standard we have set, and yet still won easily. I was amazed by Hicks being able to outpace Shenton and Owen, I didn't think he'd get there but am really glad just to see him on the field. The link-up he put on with Mathers on our own 20 was superb and set up the momentum for the excellent Vinnie Anderson try that essentially wrapped it up.
Westwood is off his game at the moment, and it's a shame to see because he, more than anyone, deserves to enjoy how we're playing at the moment.
Rauhihi was excellent, really answered his critics I thought.
Improvement needed, 7/10 for mine.'"
As a team, generally OK, plenty of improvement in us though. Still too many mistakes and penalties, however we backed up well from last week.
Clarke has been very good in recent weeks IMO, I thought he was excellent last week, and very good again tonight. At the moment he is one of the players that I look to to calm the team down when they are getting over excited.
I also agree about Rauhihi. After last week he took some stick, but some of his offloads today were first class.
Edit: I disagree slightly about Westwood. I thought he did some cery good stuff, made some great hard yards, and some big hits, he just made one or two mistakes. A slight improvement and he will be back to his best.
