How about just accepting that Catalans were better on the night. There was not a great deal between the two sides other than Sharps comedy of errors. Les Cats pack worked our forwards over and crafted the space for Bosc to dominate inside our 20 metres with his kicking. Defneding 6 sets of 6 at the start of the second half is near impossible in the modern game, and so it proved.


I think our tactics were to stay close in on the score board and catch them in the last 20 to 15 minutes - banking on the theory they would tire after Sundays game - we would conserve some energy for Monday.

Unfortunately Les Cats did not tire much until the final 10 - and 16 points was to much to overcome.

Credit though to the team for trying to do a Saints, and lets face it if Dorn had got in at the end and robbed them we would be hailing the team for the come back of all time!


Roll on Monday!

Oh, and one more thing! More wife couldn't use her pass so I dragged a friend along. He loved it! He thought the fight back was something else.

His only other Rugby experience is watching the Six Nations bore athon - his words!


So we have a convert who will come to more games this season. So even in defeat we won another supporter.

NO mate is from swansea and always laughing at the suicidal folks of Bridgend

Yes. But then with no relegation why not gamble when you have to play 4 games in 14 days Huuds, Cats, Celtic then HKR. It is asking a lot, so why not try and win the game in the last 10 minutes - keeping in touch?


OK, so it did not work for us, but it could have done. Yes for periods we seemed to coast, but I would rather face up and say that the Cats kept us subdued.
