So, i read somewhere that tonights Nottingham squad contains only 8 that we saw on Saturday. Do we expect a tougher test? Anyone willing to predict?
I think we will see an improved defensive performance, less points on the board overall and an away win, by 5 points.

Their starting lineup maybe looks a bit stronger, but more youngsters on the bench. Winnable.

In short then, we don't really know what this squad are going to bring.
Really hope:
*Our forwards improve, particularly defending maul and on scrum
*We leak less tries than last two matches...
Time will tell.

Let's hope it is a good game tonight and we continue to improve. I can't find any mention of local radio coverage?

Sounds like we made a gallant effort. A shame we couldn't take advantage when they had consecutive sin bins. At least we are scoring away but still need to improve our resilience. A bonus point gained and close to two, so things going in the right direction.

The official report is up on the website: Match ReportOn Tim's twitter feed it seemed to suggest that we had a couple of late penalties - if I've got that right and we'd kicked just one of them, I presume we'd have got the second bonus point? |
