Fair few errors so far. Maybe to be expected. There must have been obstruction for there first try and several high tackles and a massive forward pass at the end missed. We've worked our way back into it. Just need to play territory second half and we can take it. Good halves for Willis, Vellacott and Watson. Bad half for Duncan Weir's hair.

Have to say I'm very neutral on all the refs in the league, but I really do dislike CMK.
I think he's been alright. Without Young, Shields and of course Willis we just aren't applying the same pressure at the breakdown, allowing Worcs to maintain momentum. This is also partly down to Worcs doing a better job of supporting/sealing off the ruck quickly than Saints did.

If we can stop knocking it on (Morrs and MlB culprits) and build some structured attacking play (hopefully an issue of gelling between Sopoanga and Mills, although I'm yet to be convinced Sops can marshall a backline) and we will score tries. Watson has looked sharp.

Can someone tell the commentators that we're (well I am) sick of hearing about the turnaround under Lee, its getting really tedious. Silence would be better.

If we fall behind by 12 or more before the 60th I'll panic. If we're still 4+ behind by the 70th I'm panicking too. For now I'm just worrying :D.

Referee has to stand somewhere, him blocking doesn't matter. He will however get told off for his positioning in his review.

Yup...Sops is a better 15 than 10 up here in the Northern Hemisphere.

Has anyone ever seen Mills play 10?
Is he an option there should need be?

Since when has a ref blocking not mattered..is that a new directive, because it used to be play reset before the close down.

He is an option, as is Miller who has done a reasonable job there before. But Umaga is on the bench, so that's the best option  8)

I agree and am also not convinced with Lima so far. Not a lot in attack so far but he hasn’t got many options in the centres really. Not kicking out when momentum in attack was lost, we get turned over and they score their second. His knock on then costs us three.
Think we will see Umaga on soon if it continues.

Half time punditry is an improvement! Turf looks good.

With those you would say we should be ahead.
