Quote: fez1 "Pennys was a real wingers try - pace and position spot on. Still a couple of brain farts from him which spoilt his performacne, but goog he got on the try sheet.
Tom's tries were fairly simple - I don't mean to decry them though. He was in the right position.
But the really impressive thing was his defence to save 2 tries.'"
Nothing simple about either of Lineham's tries: First of all he put himself in a position to score them, and second he picked the ball up cleanly both times when a knock-on was a real possibility (especially the last one).
He wanted it tonight and all credit to him. I have called him fit to burn this year (especially at Newcastle) but tonight he was terrific. Well done Tom.
