Quote: tamargrace "well from somebody who was there sat in the shade with a vest and shorts on sweatin me balls off and reading most of the comments on this thread makes me laugh..the humidity was very high that is the killer not the temp .. our lads were knackered..yes mistakes were made but they have only lost 2 games all season at home..the pitch is big and they know how to play it.. we didn't get water on also like catalan did..when mathers was injured les cats were all taking water on board ..nobody took water on for our players!'"
Good point well made. Let's learn some lessons from this and try to play the conditions better for next season down there, hopefully it'll be played March/April. Getting water on at every opportunity as Dragons did.
That hit on Mathers was with the shoulder no attempt to wrap arms around and tackle....
On another point from the Owen thread it was Owen that clattered Escare in the first half causing a head injury preventing off load as they had a man over, preventing a try although they scored from kick a minute or so later. Scruton (who it was thought caused the injury) wasn't even on the pitch.

19 minutes 15 seconds into the video (or 12 mins into the match)
The Lynne penalty was also rubbish 21 mins 29 seconds.
