Takeaways for me
As alluded to by several posters the team was indeed divided those that play on the left played there those on the right played there those on the middle played there and those with a roving commission did that. FFS people come up with weird statements the team looked like a band of brothers and the coach’s box looked calm, united and happy all a big plus for us.
The much maligned signings all played out of their skin for their new club, teammates and coaching staff and all gelled very nicely.
5 hit ups and useless kick gone off the back of yardage and domination by our forwards.
No heads down after 20 minutes as they new they were physically winning the game and they maintained composure and then dominated.
Despite the shithouse and biased early refereeing we stayed calm and managed to take the referee out of the game by regrouping and not giving away dumb ass penalties and cheap 6 agains which showed trust in your fellow players doing their jobs.
Our backs had an enjoyable night playing behind some real grunt and their physicality lifted as a result.
Their 3 tries were all soft and are tbh are easily fixed where our tries had enterprise and skill.
Their big money “marquis” forwards who are always the darlings of the press Tino & Fifita were well contained and not allowed to dominate / intimidate whatsoever.
A great night at the office and very pleasing viewing well done to all.
