Can anyone tell me why their starting 9 was allowed back on the pitch?
Are "rolling substitutes" now allowed?

What an absolutely splendid afternoon's entertainment. Some excellent performances and a try from Willis to savour in its build up. I was so pleased to see the way that Lockwood and Sowrey played.Well worth being out in the cold.

Sowery was outstanding! Best hooker we have IMO, liked the nickname the pundits gave him...The gas man.....think that will stick!

Did he actually leave the pitch
He moved to fullback as the sub 8 cane on and I suspect he may not have actually got off the pitch at all

Thanks Aidan
I watched it again last night and I think you're right
9 never left the pitch. He moved to wing then full back

I thought the big plus point from yesterday was the front row. Both Lockwood and Scotty Wilson looked solid up against a pair of traditional XXL Top 14 props. Sowery had his best game for us and both Willis and Whitty were outstanding.
When we run with the ball, we are really good. When we decide to go conservative and start playing up field anywhere kick ball we really lose momentum and advantage. However, a win at Dragons should see us quality for the last eight and that would be more fantastic progress, especially if we can get a home tie. Well done boys!!

We conceded a pen nearly every put in from the opposition in the 2nd half. We were walked backwards around 1-5m despite getting the ball out super quickly on own ball.
Do people actually think that we have a good scrum?
I honestly don't know which games some of you watch when you say our scrum went well, it's been hammered just about every game. The number of pens we've conceded in the scrum must be in the 50's this season, I'd love to see the stats, and not the misleading completion percentage that some posters seem to think warrants a good set-piece.
We have got getting the ball out quickly to a real fine art, it's impressive....but thi sis because our scrum is so awful game after game.

I've still got the the game recorded I'll have to re-watch it. I thought our scrum was ok
