Would have been better if we'd allowed them to ground in the corner and have a touchline conversion.

We were getting minced in the scrum so the try seems fair enough.

We lost the game with Pollards moment of madness.

Was a tight, well contested game - could have gone either way. No complaints from me.

Harsh reality, we’ll do nothing in any of the competitions this season with performances like that. Very poor execution.

As far as the refereeing goes, I fear we are trying to apply logic, reasoning and fair officiating standards in a barren wasteland of such things. Take the wage their out of it and it was a good match. Our lads gave maximum effort, a few mistakes, but I haven't seen ball in hand adventure like that for some time. All in all we were the better team and have some exciting times ahead when we take a bit more composure in 22. COYT xx

That last ten minutes is what puts people off rugby!! A complete shambles!! A ref who can’t make a decision and TMO who makes it up!! Pathetic!!!

Shocking refereeing decision. No idea how they guessed that one, and compounded by Healey squeaking that it was a try.

I do not think pitch folks are out for Wiggy. There was some good attack but not necessarily at the right time. Lenny not listening to the ref gave them that final field position. Long passes to fresh air gave them tries or took pressure off. There were some good lines back inside in the first 30 mins but we then seemed to chuck it wide in the 22 too soon. We needed more phases with more infringements to get a yellow for their poor discipline. Captain needed to so “not another 2 penalties ref, when will you make them let us play with a card”.

I am sure the players will be very frustrated too. 5
The decision to rake the penalties and build a score was probably right. Decision making when attacking in multi phases in the 22 needs to be reviewed and hopefully learnt from.

What did Youngs do on that last put in of ours. He seemed to rush it and put it in against our props leg. :smt017

I think in hindsight we should've start Jansen and brought Cracknell on with 20 to go like last week.

Should've won that.
Props is a issue.
Simmons shouldn't have been brought off.

Pollard had moment of madness but he's looking better each game.

Attack generally looking miles better than it did with Borthwick. Forwards not so much.
