Great all round performance forwards got on top , Randall best game since he arrived not just the tries but amazing work rate , tupou return made such a difference, crowther defensively excellent , pack got on top miller best game season to date , Hampshire really buzzing, lynne carried ball with real intent , forwards generally out played there opposite numbers. Sadly mcb had a total mare, it’s his major fault very rarely catches the 50-50 ball and that last pass was a walk in, not much point in being in support of you can’t catch the ball personally would drop him for kershaw, hopefully kirmond or ashurst will be fit to bolster squad next week - travelling to Perpignan with a much lighter step

I wouldn't be looking at playing Kirmond again to be honest but especially in the heat of southern France. How good was it last night to have a full rotation of subs available right up until the death. Last thing we need is being a player down from Kirmonds 1st collision.

Chased a grubber kick down, believe it or not, beat our own Kyle Wood to it.

Coming out of ground we were saying who would be slating CMB lay of he did a lot of good things still the best we got as Johnston stand in

I think most were slating the performance not the player, there is a difference imho.

For me he didn't actually play badly he just missed 3 chances where he was the only one in the position to capitalise. I'm sure he wasn't happy himself but he wasn't outplayed by his opposite number in any way.

In a tight game those missed chances could have cost us the game but fortunately it probably only cost us reaching 50.

How peed off must Tanginoa been after he'd bust a gut running 50 metres and put a try on a plate for MCB?

we only really used 3 subs because gwaze only came on for the last 5 mins

My point exactly. If we had lost a player earlier doors Titus would have been on much earlier.

I pretty much agree but he was lucky it happened in the game it did.

Also if that had happened to Kershaw that would have been that, harsh game at times. What made it so noticeable is we have all seen the lad finish way way way harder chances than those.

Luckily anyone who knows the game knows MCB is usually a quality finisher and personally I’ve not seen him struggle with 50/50 balls.

As you do correctly say it’s going to be hot 90 degrees plus , so get where your coming from but gwaze only came on when we had 3 players gone down with cramp or similar he could have been introduced at any point but wasn’t - he did well but in Catalan we need all the experience we can get - May all be hypothetical if non of the injuried players are fit to return

I really hope you're joking, drunk or been out in the sun a bit too much.
He's been a real asset since he's rejoined us, he's had one iffy game FFS.
Or is it his turn this week to get slated following on from Tyler, Jordy, Pauli etc?

Watched the game back and MCB was solid under all kicks that came his way, rest of his game was 100%. I’m sure he knows and doesn’t need reminding he should have done better with a couple , it didn’t cost us so let’s move on.

Spot on.
