Clancy is either totally incompetent or a cheat at scrum time, so many resets for them that are free kicks for us and it nearly cost us a try then

Excellent defence from Hughes there, stopped a certain try.

Batley looks like he needs to lower his height in the carry a bit

He’s been a mixed back. One big hit on Navidi was really good. Yet that was awful tackling right there, he needs to be going low to chop the man.

I’d get some subs on in the forwards and try and get some momentum going.

Cost us one try and nearly a second were it not for Hughes.. it’s been said many times he’s just too weak in defence!

Huge weakness in his game, he either needs to improve his strength or find the perfect technique.

Goes far too high in the tackle, easy to knock him back. Think he's worried about being stepped by Morgan and Adams so stays upright to keep his balance but then can't readjust to go low and make a dominant collision. He is taller than Morgan that doesn't help.

Great interplay for White's try. Gets his head up and finds White for the score under the post. Would have been easy for Owolfela to pin his ears back and go for the corner, he read the game well there.

That was brilliant from Olowofela, shame Veianu couldn’t get it down

For the talk of his defence olowofela looks a lot stronger ball in hand than he did at senior last season.

Agreed, his defence may not be top draw but his game has come on so much in the last year IMO, we just need to give him time like all the other youngsters

Brilliant run by Olowofela. He's got bags of talent he just needs to work on his tackling and add a bit more bulk.

He is on the right path but still a lot to do.
