[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1010368, member: 73144"] A step up in opposition and another win. We were never in danger of losing, but, but, but.... We fielded as close to a first choice team as we could. Much more experienced than Ire, who in some respects were a bit experimental. We were expected to win fairly comfortably. We lost the last 58 minutes 7-6. The tackle count was scarcely believable - we made 246 against 73 by Ire. May took both his tries very well, but they weren’t really engineered through great play. The cross kick is always a 50-50 chance at best while the second came from an Irish cock up near our line. I’m really not sure what we’re trying to achieve at the moment. Wal and Ire are obviously in transition, but that’s not really the case for us. I’d like to see how we’d measure up against stiffer opposition like Fra or the Boks. [/QUOTE]
