Far more eager for the game than us as far as im concerned.
As proved by there reaction at the end of the game.
We didnt match there enthusiasm and deserved what we got.
Ding, ding , ding we have a winner.
The key difference in the two sides last night was the simple fact that they were far more enthusiastic than us. I don't mind getting beat, but imo we should never be getting out enthused when playing at home. The early try did not do us any favors, as it created a bit of arrogance within our ranks and we thought we had the game won.
Cas played the whole game with a lot more direction, and intent, both in defence and in attack. If we had played with half the enthusiasm, they played with last night the we would have won the game imo.
The challenge now is for us to ensure that this was just a bad day at the office and go to Harlequins next week and play with the same effort, commitment and work rate that saw us win our first 5 games. If we go through the motions and play like we did last night then we shall be tasting defeat for consecutive weeks.
