Match thread - Bristol Bears.
« on: February 15, 2019, 08:07:56 PM »
18 minutes in, 3-7, so far we're looking pretty good.  Not brilliant, and a bit tentative, but defence seems fairly solid so far.

30 minutes in and ths score is unchanged.

We're dominating the game, but not quite managing to break through and there are too many unforced errors.

If this was Wasps of 2 years ago I'd expect us to start to break through about 10-15 minutes into the second half if it carries on like this.  Wasps of today?  Who knows...

Two more in rapid succession.  Cruse in the corner and the Carr after a lovely intercept by Searle.

39 minutes, 3-17

And the first man on Carr to congratulate him was Lima with the biggest grin I've ever seen him with.

And Searle gets the extras.

I could be wrong, but it feels like we might be clicking a little.

Still looks all too eager. Calm down but keep the pace, take a breath and always expect the ball. The players are still good.

So far so good. Only one more try for a BP. Sounds like we're doing some good things tonight.

Keep it going lads!

Searle is buggered now. Broken ankle perhaps?

From the way he went down I'd say probably higher up the leg than that. 

If ever there was a time for Lima to step up it is now.

Replay showed his ankle bending rather awkwardly under the Bristol player, could easily have done a knee as well though I guess.

Le Bourgious can play 10, Recall Umaga? Or even WLR who started as a 10.

But that's for another day, dig in lads!

You could easily be right, I was just judging on the way he fell.
