Really enjoyed that game, it just shows that Rugby does not need to be a points fest to be exciting.
Solid defence, crunching tackles, I bet there will be some sore bodies today!
Only slight criticism was our poor last tackle options in the second half.
As to the holding down claims, well I've seen far worse and Fax were guilty of "slowing things down" when it suited them in the first half. I think some of their fans expected to beat us by plenty and are looking for justifications.
We arrived half an hour before the match and watched the players warming up. The fax forwards were practicing three man tackles: one around the legs, two on the upper body; man on the legs rolled away first, when he was clear man on top slowly got off, looked up as if to the ref, patted the third man on the back who then slowly got up by pushing down of the grounded player. Practicing holding down?
. But home fans always need something to moan about, I thought I was at Odsal at one point
