Finally watched the game as I was busy at the weekend.

Nowhere near as bad as I was expecting in the first half (perhaps because I knew the final result). Very loose in defence and soft at times but we could have easily had 3 tries on the board. French forward pass to Wardle, Marshall forward to french and French just missing catching a kick.

Great resilience to get back in the game.

All the outside backs carried carried hard, Wardle was super and could start standing out more on dry tracks.

Nsemba was brilliant, his leg drive post contact was great and a couple of late offloads. Took his try well.

I’m not a fan but thought Mago had a decent game, had to put down and a couple of our tries game off the back off good carries from him.

Smithies and French were superb.

Hampshire was just solid (the opposite of Cust the week before). Just got the ball where it needed to go and defended okay. Hope he continues to play until Field returns.
