If coops is honest with himself he will recognise that it wasn't his best game. He was hooked off shortly after Matautia ran straight through him and Mulhern. The Cas forwards just ran harder and tackled harder than ours did. There wasn't one set of six where we dominated in defence. We were in retreat constantly scrambling to deal with quick play the balls. Mcshane must have thought it was all his birthdays rolled into one.
And Cas were missing Millington.
About 25 mins in we booted the ball dead in goal. Cas had a 20m restart and Liam watts took the carry off the tap restart. When was the last time one of our front rowers took the first carry from a 20m tap. I reckon it might have been Ben Harrison.
