[QUOTE="RoyalBlueStuey, post: 85446"] That was a hell of a day. We might have enough to stay up but we need to be taking losing bonuses from games like Nottingham (got hammered) and winning games like London Welsh (got a losing bonus after a late rally, should have won the game). It is a noticeable step up for us...last season we just turned up and drank and wondered when the 4th try would go in. This season the teams are a lot more professional. The standard is so high that even a second's loss of concentration is punished. Teams are a lot cuter too, a lot of slowing down the ruck, holding on, coming in from the side...teams seem to know exactly what they can get away with and we don't. Anyway it's a tough lesson for the lads but they earnt this go at the big time so us 'loo fans just have to get behind them. I've a feeling you played us at a good time...this is not to say we'll be world beaters in a couple of months but I think we'll be at the stage where those tight wins at home and losing bonuses away are coming in. We might just do enough for another year up here. If you get a chance to come over for the return game it's a pretty friendly old club. [/QUOTE]
