Although it's early days yet, it was good to see the perennial strugglers put in a performance like that. Some innovative, off-the-cuff attack, solid defence, and the continued development of Sandow were all a pleasure to watch.
Easily the match of the round- at least, so far. We can hope that tomorrow night's game will prove as exciting.
It looks as though the rule changes were on the right track. The use of two referees has sped the game up considerably, and the play-the-ball is much faster, minimising the boredom of the grapple, one-out, grapple, one-out that has been the monotonous standard of past seasons. If they put the contested scrum back in, it would be just about spot-on.
