Back from the game. Gaby played better today. Simpson started off nice and fast. His box kicks were great. WLR started poorly, and played that way for a while, but started to settle down and get on with it. Watson seemed to have a good game, as did Miller and Josh.
BUT ... as a whole, the backs were far from cohesive and never looked like troubling.
The forwards had an OK game, but the lineout throw ins were a lottery with TT. Hampson really did not impress. Neal looked very dangerous.
As usual, not taking the opportunities and giving away far too much. Both Ash and Will should know the danger of giving penalties in front of the posts ... and yet they do it anyway.
I know, we are missing so many, we will be better when we get xxx back. For me, the only player that could make a difference would be Gopps. He will have at least three weeks in contact training before he can play.
A week off for the players, then do we get the internationals back, or do they get a rest? (I am guessing that they might not need a rest if they didn't play much).
Play like we did today, and Gloucester will take us to the cleaners.
Jimmy back by the Worcester game? Maybe.
