That was absolute agony.
Seemed to be played in a weird atmosphere among the players - all jovial and then a few little flare ups.
We won with a few good moments. The overall performance... with a very small number of exceptions you could divide our team into the anonymous and the error prone.
Even complaints about Child are undermined by his decision against Whiting for taking out Ben Crooks. I’ll take it, but wtf?
If we’d lost that we’d have nobody to blame but ourselves - it was just mistake after mistake. Took our chances - but did we have a single sustained spell of pressure all game? Some good energy in defence, considering how much defending we had to do - credit for that. Dunno whether them losing one of their halfs knackered their rhythm - you’d assume it did a bit, in fairness. They must feel like they were mugged.
Massively relieved, but I don’t think i’ve ever felt so unelated after a win. Just knackered. 2 points - enjoy the flight back!
