14-14 at half time, a half of two halves for absolutely sure. Worcester need to calm down and maintain their discipline to get back into this.
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?

Nothing was stopping him there, massive run, conversion missed 19-14.

And that's how it ends, 19-14 to the hosts.

The wheels have properly fallen off the Briz bus, not long after giving Lam a longer contract, I wonder how they feel about that?

Without Randall Pietau and the Nathan Hughes currently playing for Bath, they lack a lot of cutting edge, a look an average team. Thacker added some energy when he came on, though he threw a Burnsesque pass 10 metres from his own line, but without Sinclair or Afoa their scrum was in reverse

Watched highlights of the Chiefs v Highlanders game from New Zealand, not sure how the chiefs 8 was allowed to hurdle over a tackle before scoring a try

Their scrum is a mess and they miss too many tackles. They are too easy to play against.

Radradra was pretty underwhelming once again last night.. he’s been a fair way off his best

When they signed him I was, I admit, a little green with envy, however with the benefit of hindsight I'm just pleased we signed Nemzy, he's so much better value. Plus he more often than not does something really useful, just don't think Radradra does?

I just think the deficiencies in their team mean he has to do it all. Nadolo is a wonderful finisher but we don’t give him the ball 60 m out and say ‘off you go’. If you are going backwards then having a world class 13 means very little.

Radrada looked brilliant last season linking up with Piutau, and to a lesser extent Malins and Randall. Most of the spectacular Radrada moments I recall involved him and Piutau one-twoing their way up the pitch. When it's just Radrada with a lot of average around him, it is much harder to make something happen.

Bristol's form last season was nothing to do with Lam's coaching, it was just having a handful of exceptional players and few international callups. Now there are fewer exceptional players and more international callups.

Totally agree it’s like well you are our get out of jail free card, and without many other threats it’s easier to mark him. I do like the lad Lloyd who started at 15 and ended up at scrum half because of injury. He will no doubt be another who has to move back to Wales to further his international career
