Last 20 minutes were a farce. But we got a bonus win at home,
Worcester aren't our rivals so while letting them have a bonus
is annoying it shouldn't matter. I think the sloppy defence will
actually be a good thing as I reckon gustard will give them a
rocket. Personally very happy to be back at the stoop

If we win 64-63 next week i will be happy with the 5 points.
Ok we were sloppy in the 2nd half but focus on how good the 1st
half was.
Today the glass was not half full but 5 points full.

Watching it felt like Quins were in control throughout the
match. Early changes from Quins from 50 odd mins onwards changed
it slightly. I felt our defence switched off a little at times
being a couple of tries or more up. Nothing to worry about.

On a side note, I thought some of Worcester’s lazy running and
obstruction was as blatant as I’ve seen in a while. I know
everyone does it to an extent but I noticed them doing it a fair
bit more than other teams have done so far this season.

Leaving their flankers in the way to create a gap in our defence
took place throughout the game and pretty much went
un-penalised. It also didn't work that well for them either.

To me it looked like we lost interest after the bonus point try.
I was expecting about 50/60 points and maybe 20 conceded as I
couldn't see nothing being given away. That said, scoring nearly
fifty and leaving the pitch with five points but feeling we
could have done better is a great problem to have.

It was a bizarre afternoon. We had several players who could
unlock them at will in the first 30 mins without any effort. We
were away and done. Then they played deep and wide and found 3
on 1s that exposed us with Brown off and a winger that can’t
tackle. We were effectively 14 men in defence or less all match.
Said it before but Gabs is absolutely non existent in defence.
His smiley face when he limped off at 75 mins made my blood
boil. He has NOTHING to be proud of in that effort. He’s
electric with the ball but his chicken defence is really winding
me up.
Given the stellar defence his colleague at 13 puts in, he’s not
worthy of sharing the same changing room.

Yes Gab's defence needs some serious work! It's a shame as he is
extremely good going forward, but as my brother in law and I
were discussing during the match that is the curse of the small
winger, especially against a huge guy like Heem

It wasn't just Ibitoye falling off tackles - quite a few of our
"favourite" players did. Credit to Worcester - they targeted
Gabs all day with aerial stuff and attacking his flank - and it
worked - sometime when we were a man short and sometimes when we
had a full contingent. A couple of lucky bounces and the first
half may have been different.
Gus should be worried about the defence. Second half wasn't good
- but we did enough generally but plenty of room for improvement
against Bristol before we play Bath and Gloucester. And to
finish in top 4, we'll need to win all of those games, and a few
more.
Great to see our back row turning over; not great to see two
opportunities to score wasted by bad line out throws in second
half...
Top 6 a minimum from here on in?
