I think kicking for touch would have been the best option, as setting up the lineout would have run around 30 secs off the clock and Bristol attacking from their 22 off first phase was a much greater challenge than from open play. 2.10 is a long time to pick and go with the risk of sealing off and ...

Fair play for being there and for saying. One piece of good news indeed.

It’s also not one moment, one player, one game.

It’s one player, two moments, two games, both identical scenarios in the same short season.

The only difference is we lost this game - but we arguably deserved to lose both.

Whiteley must NEVER play for this club again.

FT Saints 40 - Tigers 17.

Carnduff excellent today. Chessum good.

The rest, very, very poor.

37-17 - 72 mins.

Hendy YC'd a few mins ago.

32-17 to saints - 67 mins

25-17 to Saints - 63 minutes gone.

Sorry but I think they have had a good day.

We've cost ourselves here. Our downfall cannot always be some other factor than our own.
