Re: Match Commentary - Catalans : Fri Mar 29, 2013 9:36 am
For those who weren't there, let me be absolutely clear - this is a game we absolutely, categorically, should NOT have lost.Nearly all of the Catalans tries came as a direct result of mistakes made by us in our own half - knock ons or, in the winning try's case, a stupid pass by one of our players who I took to be Sarginson. It was a ridiculous play with the game in the balance.
The ironic thing is I thought we tackled like demons. We let ourselves down with ball in hand in our own half. I would love to see our set completion stats this season compared with those around us; I reckon it doesn't look pretty.
Catalans were incredibly ordinary; we were our own worst enemy. 2 points dropped. Frustrated.
Hard to judge Esher as a venue on a freezing cold night; Not actually very difficult to get to by public transport tbh, in the summer could be a nice place to go!
