Subject: Great Result

Thought this was a good win on a number of levels. Most pleasing for me was the way the pack refused to be bullied. They had some big lads and one or two were clearly used to getting their own way. However, as is the case with most bullies, once we got in their faces and just got on with the rugby they didnt like it. The ref should take some credit for getting in early with some penalties for raised elbows in the tackle and indiscriminate use of the slipper in the rucks. About as good a refereeing display as we will see at this level I reckon.

Back to our boys though - good leadership by Brooksy as well as some superb efforts in the back row (Nicky- take a bow especially). My man of the match for what its worth was our loose-head prop though (sorry don't know name) - he was under pressure early but was loving it by the end - their boy was dying to get off the park by the final whistle - well done mate. To see a comparatuvely young pack refusing to be put off their rugby by bullies and remain organised and focused was real pleasure to watch. Testament to Rossy too.

I have even managed to persuade the current Mrs Pugh to spend an afternoon and evening in the club at the next home match (1st October?). Lovely.
