Could be. An expensive way of saving energy for the ref mind. 
Bet you 50p it’s covered by sponsorship/ advertising on those 2 side screens 
We're still still here, but I wish we were in an Anglo-Welsh

Hats off to the scrum, that went so much better than I expected.

We fall off too many tackles and, as someone has said, good sides find it easy to rack up 40/50 points against us. This has to improve next season. I agree ,set piece has been pretty sound this year, it's the tackle area and defensive organisation that has been poor. 
What's going on?

Very entertaining game Saturday, a decent crowd and a very good atmosphere.

Boys played superbly and were giving it their all, couldn't ask for anymore from them, shame it came to a loss in the last play but im proud of the performance and i was proud to be there saturday backing the team.

As has already been said with the stage we are at and this being Dwaynes first proper pre season with us , the challenge cup will not be a bad thing for us and hopefully we can push for the knockout stages of this and compete for the top 8 next season in a season which will hopefully have more structure .

Alot of people complain the URC isnt entertaining but out of all the games this weekend i have found all of them quite entertaining and plenty of great tries scored and quite competitive.

We definitely raised our game for the occasion and matched them for long parts of the game but every time they got back ball  you knew real danger was present.

I also think that sometimes we have to just accept that some of the SA line moves and talent of the players were  outstanding. The younger players will learn from games like this. 

Ps I was worried about our scrum as well and was proved wrong . Our scrum was about 85 kilos lighter and yet we fully matched them. Our line outs were excellent until we lost Shings and Price. 

Proud of the lads

Not too sure if this is harsh, but couldn’t understand how they scored so easily after half time from a first phase play, in my mind Jonathan Davies got it all wrong, what’s others thoughts on this? Also, does anyone else think he got found wanting a lot yesterday? 

I thought he looked totally out of position/like a rabbit caught in the headlights. Not what you'd expect from a British Lion. Of course, because he didn't attempt a tackle it won't have gone down on his stats as a missed tackle. I don't think he had a bad game, but got that one totally wrong.
I just think it was a cleverly worked try. The reason he didn't attempt the tackle was because he had to take the 12.  They had their 8 in the line and with the right wing also coming around there were just to many numbers for JD and JW to defend. Had JW drifted to take his man then the gap would have appeared inside him for the winger or the 8 to exploit.  A very clever well executed move and something for our coaches to look at I think.
in which case the winger has to step in ,  at least that makes the runner pass which could be dropped by the winger or go forward. Was a good move but imo foxy misread it and the ball went to the guy outside him and he couldn’t make the outside man. The defence from driving mauls is killing us this season tbh we really need to get that fixed

The Stormers had a big overlap for their try after half time. We had sent all our forwards in to repel the maul whereas they had some of their forwards in the backline. Jon was marking the player on the inside of the player that scored.
