Oooooh what now

[Bloke in North Dorset]

I hope NWW and his dad are ok, this is getting tense.

[hopwood]

The sweat on the ball has been a real issue for some.
Lots of dropped balls.

[Neils]

Going to fall just short

[Neils]

Sadly I think Spink might have made a difference

[mike909]

Damn

[Neils]

Blew that.

[Bloke in North Dorset]

Very naïve on that reset scrum, somebody should have gone down to get the clock stopped.

[hopwood]

Not happy with picking Fekitoa over Spink.
Not happy with the lack of structure in attack.

Can’t fault the effort in the stifling heat.
Our defence was outstanding at times. Outstanding.
But we didn’t deserve anything from that because our attack in the backs was impotent.

I’m worried about the coaching team, in regards to our attacking plans and options.
We don’t look imaginative or creative enough. We don’t create pace and dynamic lines of running.
It’s not the Wasps of old.

Going to be some very tired bodies for the Sale game on Friday and that has just become a must win game, if it wasn't already.

[Covkid40]

Only ourselves to blame. To many knock ons and turnovers in their 22. Our red zone conversation rate must have been appalling. Can’t knock the effort though

[13thWarrior]

Just not clinical enough in the final few yards. Left a lot of points out there which is frustrating. But can't fault the effort against a much more expensively assembled team.

Can see us tripping up the next two matches for a fantastic end to the season.

[Rugbyintheblood]

So close!

But if your scrum half is firing out rocket passes to guys who are only two yards away chances are that they will knock it on. Then it doesn’t matter if we had the best plans or not because that’s our momentum stopped stone dead.

[Shugs]

Thought that was a terrific performance. Very gutsy. We just had a ten minute spell in the hour when we made several stupid mistakes. Our restarts are terrible and they were more clinical in our 22. Their bench slightly stronger than ours. But we’ve taken a top French side all the way away from home in huge heat. Lots more pluses the minuses out of that.
