I suspect Rhys will be out of next week, not sure how the head protocol works, but Cunningham will be a doubt, which would be a pity because I thought he was excellent. Our attack for 65 minutes was outstanding, defensively also pretty good. The sending off, injury to Cunningham and Sammut's sin-binning seemed to disrupt us, and inspire Fev!
The penalty count against both teams was massive, which didn't help the flow of the game, not sure if it was the cause of so many handling errors. I agree with NB, we were heavily penalised for holding on and that we need to get smarter in playing the ref, Fev were much more experienced. Battye was heavily penalised (I think) which is a shame as I sponsor hime! He also is a good player otherwise and I think has put on some weight, but not lost speed. What NB will not agree with is I felt the ref seemed to operate to different standards for us/Fev. I am not saying he was biaised, just some of the penalties against us for holding seemed a tad harsh, and similar tactics from Fev seemed to be let go, but that just maybe that Fev were smarter.
All in all a very good win, and I think much larger and more comfortable than any of us, if we are honest, would have expected. Indeed if Sammut had stayed on the park I think we would have scored 60, and the points difference would have been nearer 40, but I don't want to be churlish.
