Porter just looked like he had cramp to me and he was walking ok after the game

Despite my previous slightly lukewarm reaction to the game, I thought Porter in particular showed some class, and potentially he might have come out the other side of the internationals down under with a boost in confidence? If so, great to see.

If it didn’t then it should have been a penalty try as he was tackled by the neck!

OldHob - I think you are correct, both in your game assessment and attribution of the Curate's Egg, of which this was a good example. I have overused this in reference to Tigers over the last few seasons, though probably not on this forum!

Personally I thought it comfortably touched the line. Thing is they didn't look at the point where it did.

Ref said check if there was seperation, it was shown there was not.

In real time it looked like it may have touched the line, then it was rolled back (what the TMO was shown). Thing is immediately after that he makes a placement forwards (which I think he's entitled to do) which puts it on the line.
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Van Wyke looks to be a concern - scrummaging not at premiership level.

Behind Cronin and Whitcombe there is a huge drop off. Presumably Whitcombe is injured?

I think Leatigaga is a good option at LH, especially from the bench as he offers a great carrying threat against a tiring side. His scrummaging is good enough certainly to be in the mix of a matchday 23

Van Wyk did make 14 tackles off the bench Vs Chiefs. Work rate is there he's just a more squad level player as opposed to second choice. Hopefully we see Whitcombe gets some game time in the PRC and can push back into the side from there.

Thought I saw Whitcombe warming up before the game but not Leatigaga

Some nice tries in the match, Ashtons in particular, fine catch and drive by Harry Wells, pass out of the side door toNemani who obliged with another fine pass to Splash to finish off. Carerras' was a nice individual one for the Falcons, if a tad fortunate we left the ball behind for him to pick up.

Gopperth is certainly a handy player to cover at fly half and centre, his kicking game was good today and marshalled the midfield well and is solid off the tee. Cronin impressed again, we missed Reffell at 7 and need to tighten up in defence. Nadolo was a monster today and was gutted his 3rd try was cancelled out, the flick from Ashton and the power to get over was quality!!

We certainly need Kelly and Steward back to add some consistency and quality.

Chessum and Martin really look like they could be world class operators, so powerful and dynamic for such big blokes!!

Good 5 points win in the end!!

Ashton's try is in the running for try of the week.
