[QUOTE="SelimNiai, post: 339879, member: 37756"] We lost 26-24 after conceding a try in injury time in, what I could tell, farcical circumstances. We had aleady lost 1 prop through injury and during a Rotherham attack the other prop gets injured and is forced off before a scrum. We had already lost a player to a sin-bin and had used all our substitutions. The Ref didn't look like he knew what to do and it ended up with Dan Norton being told to leave the pitch for some reason and we conceded the try with 12 players on the pitch. That is what it looked like to me from the opposie end of the pitch. I'll wait until I see the official report to fully understand but to me it looked like a sham. Otherwise we lost becuase of a) our inibility to kiill the game off, had 2 or 3 chances to score the 3rd try but kept dropping it and b) ill-dicslipline, too many penalties in kickable range and their kicker just didn't miss. Little played very well and was deserved MOTM. Henry Paul is now playing for Rovverum and did nowt when he came on. Lots to work on but it's only game one of many. EDIT- from the report on bristolrugby.co.uk. If thats the case then that is absolute goddamn bullshit. We were punished, essentially, for having 2 injured props as if it was our fault thay got crocked. [/QUOTE]
