Think both teams were trying their best to lose that game, Cardiff won the bet.

On paper we shouldn't have won that.

Very happy with the heart on show. Attack lacked cohesion again but to win on the road like that is all we could ask. Great defence from the boys and the tactics to make Cardiff play out again and again paid dividends in the end.

A mixed side against Cardiff’s first choice getting a four pointer that is a good win!

By no means perfect but we got a win on the road, good for momentum and mood in the camp for next week’s huge game.

For me the man of the match was Harry Wells for the judo throw, technically the best play of the game.

That could be huge in the progression of the season. Momentum maintained and some of our youngsters have grown up.

Realistically we could have qualified now by the time we have to go to Pau, and a home quarter final a real possibility

Genge played like an angry man, Lavanini and Wells linked up well in the row, Lewis looked good too

Agree, make sure we get 10 points versus Calvisiano and a home win vs Cardiff that’s 23 points potentially.

Take the win. But largely a match to forget aside from a few impressive individual performances
