No idea but if he's going to kick the low percentage goals like that he can carry on for me

Give the ball to Wardle and we’ll score tries. A pure class centre

One problem we have in attack is the ball going from O Neil, to Smith to French to someone else without any dummy runners.

Shifting the ball this way makes it easy for the defence to number up man for man and defend against.

It’s why Field and our centres and wingers although getting the ball a lot it’s into a defensive line.

Top performance from Harvard which hasn’t been mentioned by the commentary team and good effort from Nsemba. Future looks pretty good

Wardle is a class act. Mago MOM for me so far

Quality player.
Always has a good game.
Best centre we’ve had since Carmont.

About as many baguettes he’s clearly shovelling down his gullet

much better 2nd half and 4 fantastic tries for different reasons. Smith and miski for the ability to see an unplanned play is on with the chip and kick from a 20m restart. The ball from Field to Keighran was out of this world and a nice little move for Faz to score with Wardle unselfishly turning it back inside

overall 2nd half much better. think we took a lot of gas out of them early on, despite keep giving them the ball but still stuff to work on in attack for me as we look flat and unstructured at times. think someone else mentioned it earlier in the thread as it looks slow, flat and hence our centres / wings are getting real running chances yet, however it will come and someone will get a good hiding
