Reading this again, and in case anybody actually still accesses this site, I may have been a bit harsh on the boys!
The team is keen, adventurous and skilful - almost their first move against Bedford produced a great try. However, this enthusiasm is also their Achilles Heel. Lack of pragmatism and not taking the sensible options may prove their undoing. They invariably try to force the pass and, for example, often opted to run the ball from their half with 10-15 minutes to go and the wind behind them!
Adventure is great, so long as it is balanced by rational tactics (and much better defending)!
