The guys came up against a pretty good Munster team today who were already brimming over with confidence, supported by 10k passionate fans, with hardly a Wasps fan.
They started very strongly and got a few lucky breaks early on, so we started chasing the game and taking huge risks ….. they must have loved it!
Charlie got a glimpse of what it’s like to play at (near) International level, and what you can and can’t get away with. And it’s true to say, we got nothing from the Ref, but sh*t happens.
On the plus side, I thought the following stood out for me today (in no particular order): Brad (great efforts as usual, chipping away at the Ref throughout), YY (until the illegal knock out blow), Rodriguez (he’s superb isn’t he), Stooke (never gave up), Robson (rusty but signs of brilliance), Porter (stepped up at a difficult time), Paolo (just relentless and one of the few who can break the gain line), Bassett (kept causing them problems), Miller (an assured performance), Crossdale (assured and alert), Oghre (looked lively).
