I think that there is a case to rest Farrell and Marshall. Both seem to be carrying injuries.
A good time to utilise Nsemba and Eckersley.
I’m also hoping that Hill gets a bench spot.

I’d love to see Forber play today but with a few experienced guys out I just don’t see him playing this afternoon.

Not many changes, just the bench with Hill and Nsemba but Eckersley as 18th man. Should be a cakewalk if the attitude is right in the first half.

Suspect some fans will grumble after that but personally felt any win would do today after an intense few weeks. Had a feeling we would be flat and in all honesty it's been our defence that's won us the bigger games recently. Great to be top of the table - hopefully the squad will benefit from the break to refresh and maybe we'll get a halfback or two back soon.

It was always going to be that sort of game after the run we’ve had recently. It was all about the win today and now they get to rest up and look to raise again for the coming weeks.

That Sam Eseh looks like he's going to be some player. He was certainly putting himself about.

I said the same thing to the lads I was with at the game.
He had Isa smiling after one tackle.
Would like to think that we are interested in him. Only a cameo today but his aggression would be a perfect fit for us.

I’m happy with that. Did what we had to and hopefully the lads get a good rest ready for the FC game.

Ellis out for the month isn’t great news be interesting how we go for the next game. Would like to see Hampshire given a run out

One injury too many in the front row really but we'll get by. Isa could perhaps fill in up front. The club don't seem to fancy Ramon Silva but maybe needs must.

I felt it was quite a lacklustre performance and a relatively low intensity game.

We never got out of 3rd gear but we didn’t have to.

Good to see Hill and Nsemba get some game time was particularly impressed with Hill.

Job done, on to the next one.
