Decent try but just not quite smart enough. I've certainly seen improvement but our last tackle option is pretty shocking at times.

Thought the turning point was the lovegrove bombed try, get that one and I think we're clear as it was they scored a set later. Did anyone behind the posts see if that wire try was good it looked long to me

Was sat about 10 metres away, very tight but looked like he touched it down on the dead ball line. would have taken a v.r to be sure ( not that that means anything).

Cockayne should have kicked it dead rather than trying to shepherd it out.

Agreed, and also reading sandy's comments re Lovegrove bombing that try, he did well to get to it, let alone score it

I may be wrong but he could of caught it but I think he lacked composure and flapped at it from were I was sat

I was sat in the North stand today instead of the East,for a change,and i can't see how Lovegrove could've been expected to get that try.And Cockaynes been around long enough to have booted that ball onto Annadale Road.

The derby should be a barrel of laughs then, because that is also a fairly accurate summation of one of our biggest weaknesses. Nevertheless, I shall be there suffering in frustration along with everyone else (whatever their colours of choice may be)

Why would Cockayne have tried to kick the ball over the East stand???

It was well in. Looked in by at least a 2 feet
