So...thoughts on yesterday's game?
My first thought...errors!! Too much ball turned over, too many penalties. Made it VERY hard for ourselves and let them into the game far too much. When we had the ball and started to play they couldn't handle us, and when we shipped the ball the tries came.
Positives - some of the goal-line defence in the last 5 minutes, with set after set battering our line, was brutally epic. Ok, so they snatched one at the death but it was an epic effort. Our go-forward when we controlled the ball was fantastic, some great running from a few forwards, and when the handling was good it led to us scoring. Half-backs were good, nice to see them both backing themselves and causing problems.
Personally, felt sluggish and out of it yesterday, found it hard to switch on and get into the game and was definitely off form. Was pleased to put our No.7 away for his try, and was lucky to snatch my tries in the last 10, but overall very poor after a decent game last week, need to improve.
Good to get the win with lots of improvement to come.
