Cockers, Kinghorn and a physio didn't travel due to delayed test results. They've now been confirmed as negative but all in all a bit of shambles

Nice of Zebre to allow their coaches to referee today.

Thanks dog Zebre were rubbish in that half because we were only just a little bit better.

When they set their defence we don't really look like breaking it, and we are allowing them to slow the ball down, so we are always running in to their set line, our gains are mostly coming from their mistakes.

I thought Schooeeeee was pushed in the back before knocking over the Zebre player, who went down like he’d been shot, TMO didn’t wind the tape back that far though.

their rush D out wide is so early and far it should not be too hard to get a ball back inside to a runner, or to boot the ball into the huge gaps. It should not be too hard if have the wit to see it and execute it. Good score made by Bennett and Farndale

The 9,10, 12 just are not good enough to exploit it. You need a razor sharp pass, challenging the line, direct angles. Essentially a playmaker is required.

Yep VdW doesn't challenge the line at all and is so slow at everything he does and takes at least 2 lateral steps before passing anyway. He's "good" though....
