That’s a bit harsh Phil - the lads did better than I expected, and the final score line is even harsher. We left at least 2 tries out there….. If only we had quality at 10 and 12, not forgetting a scrummaging tight head…..
At least they had a go second half and got some pride back. Why they persisted with bish-bash on the Ireland try line and never tried put it wide, with a man up as well, is beyond me though.
Well we seem to have tapped into some new energy levels today, not seen us use such pace in a long time, very pleasant indeed, this is how we should always play.....
Bit of a scramble in the end, but a very good away win, about time this team put a decent shift in, maybe if we can produce a few more of these, we may beat the drop....
Worryingly, most of the others (Stoke apart) won today so we are still only 4pts away from the drop zone. That said, we’ve probably got the best run in of all the bottom half teams…. Must beat Blackburn next game out
