Great ball from Keighran. It’s early days but h8is distribution looks really good at 6

Class from Farrimond

He's a natural halfback who filled in at centre and did a good job so stayed there. Playing in the halves on the left edge is his best position in my opinion.

Like something from back in the 90's, shades of Henry Paul right there like

Agreed Meds. Vision and quick decision-making under pressure. Natural ability right there…just like Henry Paul

At least the ref is letting the game flow. Hardly heard his whistle all half

Forwards doing a job at the minute

Better all round for me.

Nice cameo from Forber, gives us another dimension.

Walters work rate up were we need it, good defensive stint but scratchy going forward - nice confidence boost with the try.

Keighran looked comfortable at 6 and made a good combo with Farrimond.

Listening to the commentators you wouldn't think we had anyone missing injured

It's time to switch sky off now sick of Carney talking of us getting beat by Leeds last week

I thought our pack did the job today and made it so we were fairly comfortable for most of the match. I think that helped Keighran and Farrimond because we didn't have to chase the game so could play a fairly conservative attacking game.

Nsemba was outstanding. He was making metres for fun and it's scary how he's got the footwork of an outside back with all that power. To have Thompson, Ellis, Havard, Nsemba and Walters all around the 100 metre gained mark shows how dominant we were.

The only negatives are any potential ban for Ellis (though arguably a rest could do him some good) and the injury to Farrell in the warm up. I've mentioned several times how risky it was to play our established players for all 3 games during the 10 day turnaround and while injuries can happen at any time I don't think it's a stretch to suggest not giving him a rest may have contributed to this.
