I think we actually lost this game, and last weeks game, three weeks ago we the team somehow or other decided to not put the effort in. I also think we lost this game we the team somehow started relying on players who we knew may not be available and still didn't factor that in as a possibility. I also think that it doesn't matter what I think. It matters what you guys want and it matters how you guys respond to set backs.
The response, no matter how solid and Keithly it may be, may not be enough in the time frame left to us.
So if we give up and say the season's finished or give our all to make the season end worthwhile is the choice that is put before us. Choose wisely.

Was good to have Ross back to replace the sudden departure of Murray and good to have Uli, Freddy and Mark settling the forwards. Some aspects of forward play were better than others and I wont mention the lineout throw ins at all except to say that can Kevin Mealamu come and give us some pointers please?
Webby talked his way into a marriage he didn't know he was partaking in and yet still managed to talk the forwards into doing excellent forwardy things at rucks and mauls so the skittery backs could do skittery back things like run and pass and stuff. I'm still not sure if I prefer Dick up front or deep in the back, but whichever position he finds himself in on a week by week basis, he doesn't disappoint. Bravo and Ross also did not disappoint but Toad who pulled a hammy last week came off early with the same problem. His old old old mate Rob filed in nicely for him though.
