Fantastic come back win but with better finishing we would have walked it.

Exactly. We snatched it in the end, but the game should have been over by the end of the first half. We seemed to be forcing the pass on every set with good field position.

It will do the lads a lot of good snatching a victory at the end after the same thing happening to them on Friday

Just back from the game. What a finish!

Winning like that often feels better than playing champagne rugby and thrashing someone.

Special mention to Wilkin, Gardner and Soliola big effort from them today.

Am I bugger gutted! I am fooking delirious with joy! The East Stand was bouncing at the end (pretty much silent for all but the last 10 minutes, it has to be said). I could NOT believe we won that match! Meli had been a waste of space for most of it but the jammy git scored the winning try so I can't even call him names! And Jamie Foster - what a star. The goal he missed was the worst attempt I've ever seen him make, and dropping that ball which led to a try really left him gutted. But by kicking that goal he made himself into the hero of the moment! We really did snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

And I'm now wondering how the hell we are going to put together a team for next Monday. We've no bugger left to play!

Ade Gardner got MoM and that was spot on. He was a trojan that guy. Probably our best player along with Jammer, who was immense, and Soliola, likewise.

Correct.

Well deserved I would say.

Craig Huby I think , he looked in a bad way - someone near me suggested it may have been a shoulder injury , bad luck for the guy hope he has a full and swift recovery
