After a 13 days of no rugby, there was a chance we had gone soft, and Trouty gave a pre-game speech which made it pretty clear that soft wasn't an option.
And well, yeah. It wasn't.
The first phase of play lasted a full 20 minutes and the remaining 20 minutes of the first half was similarly one movement from play to breakdown to play. Don't think, however, that no score from either side meant there was no effort being put in to the game. The boys were buggered.

The second half started with the realisation that either side could win and that we needed to step up the intensity level from 'high' to 'fucking high'. And so then Kev scored. And Uli got punched. And Karl got punched. And Daz played on and on and on.

Three things we all know about rugby came true today.
1. You don't need a 1st class referee to play well
2. You don't need 30 points up on the opposition to win
3. Just because Richard Norton gets his gear on doesn't mean he really wants to play
