We lose concentration and it cost us two tries. We can't deal with bombs, but on the plus side some of our attacking looked good, although that was partly down to poor wire defence. We have some promising youngsters, hopefully these opportunities will help them develop, but I think it is safe to say unless something changes we will be in the middle 8 again.

Also I see that both Wakeman and Clough had good games in both defence and attack.

Of the 42 tackles missed the majority were missed by the backs and we seem to have a real issue with tackling technique in all the backs.

Also, Wakeman is getting better and better now the ground is getting firmer. Interesting to see play from end on for a change as he looks to have some good quick feet.
