Well, after the dust has settled I feel like there are some signs of encouragement, accepting I got a bit excited before the game, but they are good players! I noticed how during the spells of great attack that players were running onto the ball more, whereas at other times everyone was just stood still for the pass. Perhaps a sign that they are still learning each other's plays, interesting that the Young try was made by players that know each other well, with a great run from Miller, to Daly, to Simpson, to Young. Ash's try was also finished with a lovely line run onto Simpson's pass, which reminded me of a try Hughes score off of Robson a couple of seasons ago albeit Ash had a bit more distance to the line.
Really pleased to see Simpson going well, and Miller's starting to get back into it as well. When he set up Daly before Young's try I was thinking full backs normally seem to just run into contact or try and find a way through by themselves. I am sure they will analyse some decisions, but it was nice to see the attack still is there to be unlocked.
In defence there was a short spell where they came up as a line without someone rushing out of the and really put pressure on Bath, pushed back each phase. Wondering if the flying out of the line is a new strategy, or lack of trust and understanding.
Really hope that the break now allows the new guys to really have some time to work with each other.
