What happened on the pitch was we made a lot of handling errors that almost cost us the game. If we’d cut out the first half errors we could have been at least a couple of tries to the good, not going in 2 points down at the break. I’m thinking especially of the error playing the ball on the tackle following Oli Leyland’s 80m run.
And we seemed to get pulled up a number of times for not playing the ball correctly. Think Swinton got some too.
Best moment for me was scoring on the set of tackles following the 40:20 early in the 2nd half- bit like what Swinton did to us in the first couple of minutes.
Not much on show in the way of silky skills, mostly a bit of a battle with a fair bit of spirit on show . Credit to Williams for some of his tackling, particularly the one in the last minute to stop a likely Swinton try.
That enough for you NB?
