Crichton Gunner wrote:Lots of positives, but a couple of concerns; way too many penalties conceded, and we spent far too much time in our own half. That's not a recipe for success, normally. On the plus side, Vellacot and Darcy were electric, and Kinghorn was very good at 10. Thought the stadium was much better than I'd expected, really good atmosphere. Still have concerns about what it'll be like on a freezing and windy night, but a very positive start.

Vellacott was really good. Kinghorn at 10 was impressive. Both suit a kicking free match though so let's see when the Munsters come to town. Thought Lang made a really good impact. Graham and Bennett were good.
Schoeman was back to his best for me. Everyone looked to have fun. Good for Boyle to have the match winning tackle considering how his mate Darge looks like a total beast.

When Darge went along the road I thought we must have kept the better one of the two, but Darge has barged his way into the 7 shirt at Glasgow, all blood and snotters, the way a proper 7 should.
Boyle has a difficult task now, he has to get himself ahead of Vunapola, Crosbie and Watson for the 7 shirt, or Ritchie, Bradbury, Haining to start at 6, not an enviable task.
It great to see Bennett playing well and scoring.
What a difference Blair has made already, there will be hiccoughs and stumbles along the way, especially with trying to convert BK, but I'm hopeful of a good season from a team worth watching
