Well Done PIA. : Sat Mar 07, 2009 11:07 pm  

I thought they were strong, organised and fit. Our lads certainly felt the hits. Whilst we won in the end, our consistent inability to complete the set nearly cost us.

Whilst I have always said I would prefer us to be exciting and throw it around, surely Lowe needs taking to one side and shown how to take a tackle with two hands on the flippin ball. 3 times today he lost it and was it him giving away 10 yards?

We are just making life difficult for ourselves when we give the opposition the ball so cheaply.

On the other hand, well done for the win, Presleys run for his second was superb, more of that please Presley.

The ref seemed to cop it tonight but I thought bar one or two little things he was good. Its not his fault we drop the ball.

Agree on the ref. Though he did let them lie-on abit. I think if they kicked some penalties instead of running them, it could have been a different outcome. At least 4 were in kickable position.

Did they bring any support over?

le mascotte de ane was there, I thought that was a nice touch. Three cheers for PIA. Just found ont web that they are located almost on the border with Spain near the East Coast so a draw would have led to a rather nice holiday.

dont think it would have been replayed. Might be wrong, but I think it would have 5mins extra time each way then golden point.

Thats what happen when I went to watch Dudley Hill v Cas Lock Lane a couple of years ago in 2nd Round.

I thought pia were a good side but lets congratulate the cougars for digging in when the going got tough especially in 2nd half.

What team spirit we have put aside individual errors which happen to any side.

I agree it is great that some of the team are solid such that they can make up for the errors of others. But, same errors, same people, that means it needs coaching or knocking out of them. We would have lost tonight against ~75% of CC1.
