We got our mojo back last night, fantastic performance, the boys played like we used to, with courage and aggression all game and they took it to the Sarries who, lets face it, were lucky to come away with a win. I loved our makeshift back-row, those boys played out of their skin and it was so good to see overlooked players coming to the fore. Big nod to Adam Beard too who was not intimidated and got stuck in like an old pro, not bad for a 20year old. Watkins ran and tackled himself into the Wales squad last night imo, how can someone so young be so good? add our Scott Gibbs look alike behind him and we're looking good in the center for years to come imo. We were the better side last week and unlucky to lose and yesterday again we were the better side and unlucky to lose. In the end we were beaten by a shocker from the ref and a lucky bounce. Ref has to be 100% sure a try would have been scored to give a penalty try but in replay it was 50/50 that Williams would have caught the ball let alone scored a try so it was a terrible decision which ultimately cost us the game. Add to that an unbelievably lucky bounce right into the Sarries wingers hands leading to the Sarries equalizing try on stroke of half time and you have to say that we were the better side and unlucky not to win yesterday. I'd have taken 4 trys and 2 bonus points before the game though and I'm so happy we found ourselves again last night. Now we know we can play like that we have to have carry that in our memories and start winning games again starting with the Dragons next week.
