Is half time always this long? I don't remember half time being this long before. If they don't hurry up I'm going to wear a groove in the living room carpet...
No, not that one!

Remember, whatever you do to the smallest of the backs you do to his prop, and you can't avoid the rucks and mauls forever...

I know you don't like it when I boo him but how else will he know he's wrong?

Wiese and Liebenburg have had a great first half. Wigglesworth giving us the control we’ve missed. Really promising signs so far!

Think the commentator has got it right when he also said our defence is spot on - very very impressed with the pack and Wiggy (a shrewd move from prop to SH - LOL)
Hehehehehehehehe

Wiese is smaller than I thought but an absolute unit, Potter looks like a serious prospect deserving of his position, Taute if you watch isn't any quicker across the ground but way quicker in mind than most.
Stop the Wigglesworth love in, its below us, he has done nothing you wouldn't expect of him it's the off field reasons some of us are anti his signing.
Not going to happen, this is the first time in a very long time that our back up 9 has delivered such a performance.
No, not that one!

no surprise the lineout is shaky given the training ground shut down, they couldn't do their drills to practice it nearly as much as they would have, still the bets first half we have seen in years

Mention for Taute here....involved in two of the tries and has looked dangerous.Wigglesworth’s experience is a massive factor in that first half.

Need to steady the ship early doors. A couple of pens would be nice. If Glos get another it could be interesting.

Sorry Wayne Richardson, but you need to join the Richard Wigglesworth Fan Club - very good first half from him.

Potter looks really up for it, Taute looks a different player and is completely proving me wrong, Van Wyk looks like a top player, Steward plays like he's been in the first XV for years, and I haven't seen Wiese play before so that's a VERY nice surprise :smt038

Lineout is awful but we still scored a try from it.

More of this and it'll be time to book tickets to the playoff final next year :smt023

Best half we've played since Exeter at home pre-lockdown?

Much better performance. Playing like a team in attack and defence. Hats off to the coaches. Just need the same again in the second half, let's make sure we come away with the points.

I like Wigglesworth, nothing flash just good decision making. Experience is showing.

How Gigena is alright, exactly not what we needed as a start to the 2nd half...
No, not that one!

A loss not a big fan of Bower.
Hopefully Leatigaga and De Bruin will be alright to play next week.

After the last few season I’m savouring that half. :smt038

Surprised to say that it reminds me of French Rugby. Brutal in the forwards and creative free flowing in the backs.....

And Wigglesworth now looking a very astute signing.
