I think it was whoever hit Gower after he kicked. It looked legal to me but it really galvanised the team and us in the stand
That would be Scruton, he shoulder charged Gower late, he wasn't committed to hitting Gower, but he followed through and took him out. The same thing has happened to Gower numerous times this season and last. Should of been our penalty. But it did force our players to play good rugby.
I have to say last night was the first time I had clapped Kaufusi off the field when being subbed this season, as for me he should be doing a lot better than he has shown us on average.
Wheeldon was just immense when he came on the field, was offloading as well as making many metres on contact. Byrant had a solid game, as did Olsi, but Wheeldon and Kaufusi really laid down the platform for Gower and Witt to play. I was also impressed with Grady, even with my saying I'd be happy to see him dropped for this game, clearly he shouldn't play in the centres, as he seems incapable of tackling 1v1. But our centres and wings on both sides of the field last night played well in defence and in attack, they made contact with the attacking player and didn't just drop off like usual.
So their were some positives out there.
