Houghton.watts . mini. Heck there all played well

McDermott and O'Connor go on about the "little things" all the time on Sky. We have a back row that is brilliant at the little things. Mini and Ellis at times are simply world class. The number of times on Saturday that Rovers had players catching their breath after tackles by the pair of them, especially Ellis. It's not something we all notice, but it is those little things that take the wind out of the oppositions sails.
For me it's Mini and Ellis that lay that platform that is allowing the props to make big yards and also allows Pryce and Sneyd the time to dictate play.
It was mentioned by the Sky team how Sneyd dictated the pace of the game after Rovers purple patch that saw them get two quick tries in the second half. No big breaks, no real skilful stand out play, just great game management, kicks to touch, into space completely took the sting out of Rovers play.
With the odd brain fart (Yeamans pass, poor tackles for Dixons tries) you can't say it was a perfect performance but it was as good a performance I've seen in a while. The improvement since Easter is incredible. I just hope it continues.
As for mom for me just it has to be Houghton incredible performance. Made the right decisions all the time. Kept Rovers on the back foot and created the platform for the forwards to dominate, from minute one.
