We need Da Costa in the squad if we're going to interchange McIlorum. I'm also not convinced by Tierney, he's bombing too many tries with his lack of size, really hope Yaha doesn't leave. Otherwise good performance, Casty's best game in years, he was immense

Well Tierney went over for two opportunities yesterday and it was not his fault that they were ruled out . He only just missed a third where his speed nearly foxed two opponents . I was really thinking of the .yards he is making out of defence and the fact that he no longer looks dodgy under the high ball.

We cannot afford a second hooker while Bird is playing half back. I don't rate Da costa though he is certainly better than Garcia . Aiton???

Sorry I forgot about Casty .I have not seen him play this well since 2013. His offload for the second try was brilliant and he regularly made 12 to 14 metres. All the props played very well yesterday. Having watched the replay I think that Julien should have passed not kicked in his break in the first minute and that Gigot should have gone over after Mead caught the high ball instead of trying to pass. However, this was a great day for dragons fans and long overdue.
