The execution was missing but what do you expect when we're so busted ? The effort was superb, even running to form a scrum in the last 5 minutes with the game gone.

Plus, the myopic refereeing was disgraceful. It wouldn't and shouldn't have changed the outcome but it would the scoreline and momentum which would have made an engaging game. Hicks was inept to the point of being creative in the ways to penalise us (the kickoff infringement at the end was I felt a churlish response to the crowds anger at him for not spotting the obvious obstruction in the wire try previously ) and clearly had two sets of rules for offside and the ruck ; one which applied to them and one to us.

Despite him, young lads showed heart and resilience against a team in a different pay scale and should be applauded for this.

I think they should hold their heads high after the shift they put in.

Try taking a longer term view of the future potential being realised right now by our academy, it will prove to be the key factor in the future sucess of our great club. Oh, and bore off.

when he penalised us for being offside at the kick off with a few minutes to go clearly demonstrated what Hicks was all about in that game.

I said this as soon as Scruton signed for another club, if it wasn't for injuries I wouldn't have played him at all. The fella can have 1 good game and poor for the next 3. Overall his career at WT has been very patchy, more bad games than good. Not that fussed that he's going, all the best to him but not one to remember.
