I'd have been fine with it.
The issue is that the 'letter of the law' as currently interpreted actively encourages cheating by the defence.
Hold on to me baby, his bony hands will do you no harm It said in the cards, we lost our souls to the Nameless One
Disappointing result. Wasn't expecting a win before kick off but it was definitely there for the taking. Discipline was awful second half and can't afford to waste as many chances as that. Mini and Watts were outstanding and Talanoa was in the second half.
Disappointing. Lack of composure at crucial times cost us together with some poor discipline.
It was always a tough ask to go there in mid summer. Important not to get too down hearted though, but I expect the usual suspects to bombard the board for a few days now.

Disappointed that we had so many chances and lacked composure. Talanoa try looked alright to me Pomeroy should be up at the Oscars for that - clearly played for it and it's not something I like to see in this game leave that to the other games where play acting is the norm. Thought Sneyd in particular was disappointing this week he needs to build consistency into his game. Watts and Mini didn't deserve to lose that game they were massive.
Against KR we gifted them some tries and we did it again today against a much better team and paid for it.
