Can't see why anyone would question Mago (specifically on yesterday's performance)?

I thought he worked extremely hard and had superb impact! I'd be the first to suggest he isn't fully match fit, but he makes his presence felt generally and certainly did last night.

You can only beat what's there and I guess Toulouse were just depressed by out first two tries and never really got going.
Their try came from a missed Powell tackle. He fell off a one on one, and instantly blamed Bibby.

Sam Powell impressed me with his kicking game. Field and French usual 5 🌟! Byrne, Mago and Havard worked extremely hard!

O'Neill looked good at making meters!
I agree with your comments but I thought O’Neill made some bad decisions. Powell’s distribution was far better.
You watch. different game to me. Powell’s distribution is poor and it was no better tonight. How many breaks did he make tonight? My guess would be zero. Against a very poor side.
Obviously I do. I never mentioned making breaks, I said distribution!

I feel really sorry for Bibby & I really don’t want him to leave 😢

that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

It's ok though, He's a nice lad and trains really hard, he is bound to miss one tackle for every 47 tackles he makes :D

This. Rather more Bibby's fault than Powell's, if you really need to allocate blame.

I thought I'd better check again to see if I'd got it wrong and what the Sky Sports highlights show is Shorrocks and Powell combine (with a bit of help from Harry Smith) to bring a Toulouse player down. Player gets up - passes to his right - Bibby comes out of the line - misses Toulouse player and Powell's only involvement is to fail to stop the Toulouse player crashing over the line. which even I couldn't say was Powell missing a tackle.

Forget to say that every time French chimed into the line, Toulouse couldn't cope.

Both Bibby and Powell were at fault. We see lots of players make the tackle Powell fell off. And bear in mind that his defence is supposedly one of his strengths.

That said, I thought it was a typical Peetball performance. Props behaving like props and moving the ball at every opportunity.
