Good play from Westerman for the Whiting try.

Obviously early days but going well this game. Hitting very hard.

Terrible defence from our right edge. Shocking.

Can someone explain to lineham that he's a winger. That's twice and 2 tries. No positional sense.

It's not just Lineham. Look where Crooks is moving.

Mind you the first try Lineham had little choice and it was Horne's missed tackle that caused the problem.

Another nice try. We actually look pretty good in attack - just need to be doing it more often.

Two attacks, two tries. A pattern is emerging...

Get in!!

Danny who?

I think that's a good half really. 70% possession to Catalans, this game could be long dead. I think we look really slick in attack, we just need to stop giving the penalties away so we can get ourselves in the attacking areas.

Could be winning if it wasn't for the discipline. All 3 of their trys have come off the back of penalties.
Impressed with both sides ball retention in thee weather conditions.

If a winger is left one on one and then beaten on his outside it means the sliding defence has failed, coaches will not blame the winger in those circumstances, you defend as a team and if your winger is put in that situation it means something has gone wrong beforehand.

If Lineham had been wider in anticipation of stopping the winger then the try would have been scored between him and the centre instead.

You defend as a unit and he was hung out to dry for those tries.

Have you seen that second try?. Was crooks out of position? No lineham was basically holding his hand.

Penalties ? Are catalans on side ? Hope we can shore up some defence. Skilful pass or forward pass from escare? We need to score first and we need the referee to see the game in a different light. Game on.

Our PTB speed still isn't good enough in the main. We seem to be waiting for Catalan players to get off of their own volition before getting up to play it rather than fighting to get them off & get on with it. Both our tries came off the back of rare occasions where we did play it quickly through Paleaaesina and Heremaia.

We also need to get Rankin involved more, we seem to have mainly gone down our right even though we've had little success with it.
