You've constantly said " Pryce to stand off, Carlos to centre at the expense of Yeamo" last night proved it to be a disaster. Yeaman would have defended 2 of the tries. Carlos went good at six and Pryce was crap, hiding at the play the ball most of the game. Did Naughton make mistakes? yes he looked tired, yes he jogged back, but brought the ball out time and again, into a brick wall as Coffee woman said, he looked to have taken a knock early on, plus got Mason's knees in his back for his troubles. The game often looks different on tv don't you think. Maybe you'll take the blinkers off now.
Have to say Pryce was a massive disappointment last night for an experienced player who you'd expect to see pulling the team together when things werent quite as good as they should have been.
Last night proved that Yeaman (whether yo like him or not) coming back in had improved us massively down the edge and it was exposed last night without him as it was at the start of the season.
Generally though we were flat through the 80 mins and looked a very leggy and tired team. I think the fact we played a very strong Catalan team hasn't helped plus add in the fact the pitch will have been very energy sapping too due to the amount of sand on it and with only a 4 day turn around have all been factors.
Disappointed not to win and keep the run going but not to much as half expected a dodgy performance. Important thing is now to regroup and refocus and come out firing for the next game.
