Not at the races

We were just never in it today. 23 mins left to go and I'd be
gobsmacked if we won but our players are attacking like they've
never met each other. Everything is telegraphed and so easy to
defend. Wasps have put together some lovely plays.
It could be for the best, we've secured top 6 and will have
Champs Cup rugby next season. Let's not pretend we'd have caused
any upsets in the semis this year!!

What a disappointing performance considering what was at stake.
It's been a pretty average season performance wise - they've
been found wanting in too many games.

So we don't embarrass ourselves in a semi final that we're
woefully not good enough for.
Take top 6 and the summer, look forward to some fresh faces in
pre-season.

Against Exeter, who we beat once and lost by the narrowest of
margins at theirs?

Yeah, against Exeter who we beat once because we played well and
they had several players missing.

An improvement over last season but that’s not saying much.
Defence isn’t good enough & our attack is average at best. Only
one decent performance against a top 4 team (Exeter at home) all
season doesn’t cover over all the cracks.

Apart from beating glaws away, almost coming back against Exeter
(not a good performance granted), losing to saints last minute
(another shocker) and taking 2 bonus points off sarries, the
best side in Europe?
We've hardly been uncompetitive.

I tend to agree. If you’d given me 5th at the start of the
season, I would have been more than happy to take it.
I don’t think we had a realistic chance in the play-offs, but I
think there’s plenty of progress made and I’m excited to see
where Gustard can take us with a bit more of his own stamp on
the squad.
We need some additional signings (wing, lock and tighthead), but
I’m confident we’ll make them and I’m happy with those we’ve
already got joining us.

We’re 5th. So 4 other teams had less disappointing performances
than us. I’ll take it. Have a glorious happy summer.
