Saints game

Given the results today, tomorrow's match takes on even more significance. Must win if we want to stay in the mix for a top 8 finish. Quietly confident that we will!

With Gloucester and Exeter losing results couldn’t have gone any better for us. I just wish we were playing better and more consistently as a win today actually puts us back in touch with the 4th. Please don’t misunderstand me I don’t believe we can get anywhere near 4th but it just shows if we had been a little bit luckier on the injury front and more consistent we would have been right in the mix

Saints are a good team going forward and when they get it right can cut you to ribbons but there are enough mistakes in them to let you back in. If we can really limit our penalties I think we could win but I don’t think we’re quite there yet going forward ourselves yet to take advantage and I have a feeling they’ll edge us.

Change 'Saints' to 'Wasps' and I'm sure I've read something almost word for word on the Saints' board ;)

I really do believe we have the better team but that doesn’t mean we will win.

I just want us to get our intensity up and for at least most of the game.

Saints are a decent team playing at home, we just can’t let them play

Can’t disagree with any of that but not sure ‘intensity’ is right. Yes we need intensity - but not of the Ewels variety hopefully.

Think we’ve been a bit sloppy recently which has meant that a dropped pass here, and a penalty there has meant a loss of ground at important times.

The trick I guess is combining the intensity with accuracy, then we’ll be flying. Easy to say, very hard to achieve.

We have been bullied at the breakdown in the last few games and that’s where I believe we have lost the game
