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.

I think we need to give Dupree and Byrne some credit as well, they bossed Walmsley.

Dupree got another bad hit in the head!
