After our recent run of stunning results, culminating in the wholly unexpected de-thronement of Exeter two weeks ago [and they're not back to rights yet] I had, perhaps, exaggerated expectation and then

Thank you, ianbol. As objectivity went out the window yesterday (pretty much all round), your account is a reminder that we often don't see/notice/interpret as we ought when our hackles are up.
Any idea who the dual reg players are with - Glos or Leicester?
Come cheer up, my lads - 'tis to glory we steer!

Thanks for the report Ian.
One small correction, however, was that it was their No4 who was sin binned not the 'bruiser' No6. I had a close view of the incident and the No4 did nothing wrong in my opinion. He was on his feet and ripped the ball out of hand?

Well done sir, just about sums the day up unfortunately.
Glad to see your back in action.
Semper Sersum.

A fair summary Ianbol, though no comment on the ridiculously spurned (on two occasions) bonus point which could turn out to be extremely costly. Rauiri/Alex/Tom should have taken more time to think. Absolutely unforgivable in this situation.

Thank you for that report ianbol very well done. Fair critisism but I am surprised no comment on the debacle of not going for the 3 points at the end. Why did the skipper make such a decision, I am certain GoD must have given them a real roasting in the dressing afterwards. Incidently who was the skipper at that moment, Skelding or Hallet?

Skelding was the match skipper and Kieran was not on the field when the two penalties were awarded.
