I'm happy to get the points, but still far from convinced about our ability against better teams. I think we still have far too much frailty.
On Hurrell. He showed terrific strength to get over against a fair amount of attention.
On Omar. He left too much space for the Meade try, but apart from that did nothing to invoke ire, and will hopefully learn. As has been mentioned, our compression was far too much, leaving the flanks exposed, Benry still instinctively tends to press in where the second rowers would normally be.
Locke seemed to be a little out-of-sorts. The two handling errors were quite uncharacteristic, he was however running the right lines, and apart from the hands, doing the right things.
I was very impressed by Friend. He was very busy all game.
Steve Rapira was also impressive. As has been mentioned, prop doesn't suit him, he's just a little too light. I much prefer to see him hitting the fringes at a milliion miles per hour (his natural style of play). He has great body position and technique for some of those hits he puts in.
Maloney showed good awareness throughout the game and kept us on the front foot whenever the ball came his way.
We were unduly punished for a couple of the errors we made. Sometimes that's just the way the ball bounces
