Really enjoyed today and thought some of the support play in scoring our tries was fantastic and great to watch, Morro official MOM but thought BJ was superb today as was Blaymire.
quins obviously had a plan in 2nd half to expose our wingers and rough the game up, which made it a bit edgy for 10 mins or so, as such i make BJ's 2nd try as the gamebreaker.

and I have a trinity tan too, so win win!

Have to agree on Blaymire, not the best attacking FB but very professional under the bombe and in defence, he's a great assett to have back.

Thought George looked far more comfy in the centres.

Morrison brilliant, Rinaldi played very well AGAIN, as all of them. BJ in particular was looking his old self.

Poor old Penny, he try's hard and he's quick but somwhere along the way he's never learnt the basics, maybe he tries too hard.

The ref certainly turned the game, it's not that he was wrong just that he didn't apply the same rules to them as us - maybe a bit inexperienced. Still we held our nerve and Quins IMO really were not worth more than 2 tries tbh.

Finalyl we played with a a bit of invention and we rack up some points. Lets hope we stick to this style of rugby, best game i've watched down there for a long time,

Need to tighten up in defence, especially our right hand side. Penny is a worry, but in recent weeks Jonhson hasn't been much better, hence why he was dropped. Its a dilemma for JK. Morrison was everywhere, Rinaldi and Lee probed well all game and the forwards got on top of a bigger pack but a big shout to BJ who finally looked like the player we know he can be when he wants it. Just made up that finally after a big ticket offer we actually followed ii up with a good performance in the warm sunshine. Keep it up boys!

Agreed, but how many teams will we play this season that will allow us as much freedom as Quins did. We need to be realistic as all things are relative. But as they say you can only play what is in front of you and they certainly did that.

Re: Today's Game : Sun Apr 10, 2011 6:23 pm  

To be honest Harlequins allowed us so much time when we broke through it was embarrasing! One of the tries Tommy Lee had time to make a cup of tea before he decided he was going to kick through on the last tackle regather and pass it outwide..

Re: Today's Game : Sun Apr 10, 2011 6:33 pm  

Thought our attack was superb today but we are still looking very suspect out wide in defence(Penny was terrible in 2nd half).
Thought Morrison and Jefferies were excellent but also thought Higgins went pretty well in the heat and Mariano and Johnson showed up well,Griffin also looked good making some good breaks and also helping George in defence.
Lets hope its not a one off and we can now back it up.

We were good in attack but how poor was our defence? We let in so many soft tries!

gaps were there for the taking

how good to out score the opposition though

Re: Today's Game : Sun Apr 10, 2011 6:53 pm  

Just got back.

Thought the attacking play today was great, plenty of pace, some great timing of the pass and good support play.

Big raps for Wildie who wasn't afraid to take on the line and looked solid in defence as did Blaymire.

Thought Quins only got a sniff due to the fact that we didn't have the ball for 10 minutes in the 2nd half when they scored 16 points, greatly helped by the referee piggy backing them down the field on numerous occasions.

We do have the odd brain explosion still though, like Chris Dean throwing that silly pass out on the first tackle in their 20 when we hadn't seen the ball for 10 mins and quins had some momentum.

Defence out wide suspect again, if Murphy is fit, I would put George back on the wing and Murph into centre for St's

Re: Today's Game : Sun Apr 10, 2011 6:56 pm  

after watching today i can't decide who's better at fullback - blaymire or murphy. thought george was awesome at Centre
