Can't afford for Umaga to miss any more kicks, should be 6 up.
Get jimmy on for Booj and get it fixed.

What a frustrating half, should be 6-3 up, have to say Umaga looking a bit average for me., needs to up his game. Fek prob the stand out from that first 40.
Forwards fronting up again which is pleasing but yet again, i fear this game will get away from us.

We've come into it in the last 20 but the same problem dogs us again - we're just not clinical enough. Gopperth needs to come on for MLB and take over the kicking, we can't afford to miss any more. Defensively we've been OK - Fekitoa looks hungry again but we're just one dimensional in attack.

Don't like to say it, but quite good defensively. Can't score, but plenty of commitment.

Agree regarding Thacker so frustrating. Again team play is half decent but individual errors costing us. Umaga with boot and Willis spilling ball. Most frustrating though is our lack of effort when kick chasing. Tommy Taylor over took Zack chasing one kick he needs to wake up and get hungry.

We are comfortably the better team but niggly errors costing us a lead here, Fekitoa has really stepped up and needs more ball. I agree with the eralier comment, get Jimmy on, someone to put an arm around Jacob. Willis has as always been immense.

Some poor reffing, in at the side, not straight at lineout, but that's not the problem. We need to up our game, and start playing to the ref like Bris are.

Still in it though so that's a plus.

Pearce is having a terrible game.

Young spins around offside at the ruck, no effect on anything and he correctly calls “play on, no effect on play,”
10 seconds later, Bristol knock it on 20m from the ruck. “Now it has an effect, penalty back by ruck”
I mean, you have to give the pen at the time.

We really don’t help ourself, the score should be 13-6 and the rest. Defence has been solid, we just don’t know how to use overlaps.
Can’t knock the commitment of Taylor, launch, Young, Willis.

Totally agree about cruise.
Then launch. Straight through the middle, looks at ref.
He’s had an absolute fricking shocker.

Home banker.

Wow. Superb. Suddenly found an attacking edge. Fekitoa, Willis, Carr and Launch all outstanding.

I only followed the game on twitter, but it sounded like a fantastic game, but if they made a movie out of it, it would be too unbelievable for anyone to believe (well me anyway)! Especially getting the bonus point too, all I can say is Wow!

I am new to following rugby, but that was my best sporting result for well over a year!

Come on Harlequins do the business against Leicester tomorrow!
