Subject: Vs Ponty

Somebody mentioned below that ponty were poor, and limited opposition. This i think is a bit harsh.

They looked to play good rugby, despite the conditions, and did look threatning.

On the other hand i dont feel that they would have beaten us had we remained with 15 men on the field.

Bens sending off may of been a bit harsh, but if you are following the law, it was the correct decision.

If we break the rules, we should be punished, and our discipline has left a lot to be desired of late. But there are still two sides on the field. Bens second yellow should actually have been a penalty to us not them, meaning we would have stayed at 15. And as someone has mentioned below, they were quilty of several offenses in a row, and not even a warning was given. If a referee is going to be strict, thats fair enough. As long as this is consistent with both sides.

He did miss a lot. I dont think a lineout went in straight all game, for both us and ponty and he didnt spot any.

As for us, the break definately didnt do us any favours. We have had a bad couple of weeks, point deductions, early cup exits etc. but we need to pick ourselves up and get on with it. As for Jason i dont think we should have put him on at all. watching after the game he did seem to be limping slightly.

Anyway...lets hope this game is going ahead on friday, and lets all get down there and cheer the boys on, and give the ref some constructive criticism not abuse.
