Thanks Kalahard!

Great attitude in the second half towards our defense. Ruru had a great cameo as a flanker at 6 getting stuck right in. Spirit really wanted it in the second half willing themselves to a gritty win after a bit of an off first half missing too many tackles. Spirit scrum in the 2nd half were huge with a pushover try and a crucial tighthead penalty. Jono Lance off early the only concern, may be an elbow not sure though.

I think they mentione a slight Jamie for Jono -hope that's not going to be a prob! But where has this scrum been hiding all year, never thought I'd be happy for them opting to scrum in a game. That's been a while since we've seen that. But kicking the ball away at times was a bit dumb at the end.

That's a hammie not a Jamie LOL!

[WFDom]

Hope Lance is ok? If not...... Maybe Shaun Berne could have a word with Johnny Sexton if we've got Marquee spots still open?
