I presume Satae getting subbed off late means Houghton failed his head assessment and will miss next week.

Houghton went off with 10 minutes to go, so could never have got back on the field.

"A Concussion Assessment allows a player with a suspected concussion to be removed from play for 15 minutes to be assessed by a doctor using standardised tests."

We seemed more interested in trapping them on their line than creating tryscoring opportunities. Cant say it didn’t work.

Just got in. Great performance from the boys. Very good vocal support tonight to. Line speed for most part was fantastic. Well done lads.

I get that, but it's a free interchange for a head injury, and the guy who came on, then came off 7 mins later, so doesn't that nullify the injury replacement.... or is it just using the remaining sub?

No idea how it works, especially in the last 15 minutes of a game.

Maybe we declared the free interchange as a "normal" interchange as Houghton had to wait 15 minutes even if he passed.

Anyway, Toulouse next week, so shouldn't be an issue either way.

I hope Mitch can cement a place in the team.
Seems to get very little praise but for me is very underrated.His defence especially is excellent
Much better centre than Griffin

But he could only have one leg and you'd still say that. We get that you don't like Griff.

Not sure if Evans picked up a knock but I can't remember seeing him at all 2nd half?

He is just not a good centre.Poor defence,no pace,too many brain farts and gets pushed in to touch or back in our in goal too often.
Surely you can see that
Mitch is proving to be a very good centre in his limited time in the position.very good defence,not a speedster but has pace and brings the ball out of defence very strongly.
