Oh for crying out loud. Some people...
Let’s not kid ourselves, some fans are never happy....
Don't get me wrong, glad of a win, but performances like that will lose more often than they win, 3 yellow cards would normally cost you the game alone. I don't think that puts us in a good position for next season, you are free to disagree.
Sigh....I give up and yes I do disagree. A win in those circumstances (remember, we did win) is excellent for morale in moving towards next season. Imagine if we can cut back on the penalties...

I’ll get me coat...

Mistakes from pressure...
Pressure from a more aggressive defensive line and actual big hits.



Was Furbank knock on for our try a mistake by saints or a mistake forced by Nadolo?

Did we make them look bad too? We weren’t sparkling like the All blacks but we probably made them poor too with our play.

It's interesting.
Both Boyd and Ackermann hailed as transforming their teams.
BUT take away Cipriani and Reinach and they look the same teams as they did before they arrived,

Now not doubting their abilities as coaches but does having that one superstar attacking player that can create something out of nothing paper over too much of the foundations.
Does when rebuilding not having a player like that give you a chance to really see what players are made of without that go to player?

Lavanini's defensive pressure was good today.
A win is a win.
Understandably a bit flat post lockdown, what an eerie East Midlands derby game that was with no crowd!

Agreed, I’m glad no one is moaning about his penalties, because other players are just as guilty as him such as Wells. Lavanini makes some crunching hits and always carries first man out from the ruck so is always running into heavy traffic.

Always sweeter against Saints.

Funny how saints went from having one of the best attacks too this.
Defence was good, discipline not
A few bright sparks individually attack wise.
Generally better game management and without Ford is a big +


funny how some posters only really post in match threads when we are losing. :smt017
Or had a totally senior day and thought we were the later kick off...... Plus the Remy is all gone! Off to buy supplies and watch the recording.... That was only there because I recorded the last fiasco!
