Wow!


Good team. Glad to see the Lang-Currie axis back, I have very high hopes for that.

When did we last put out such an exciting team?

I think every decisions is absolutely correct. Venter and Bradbury played far far far too well last week to be dropped. Would have been very interested in who misses out if Crosbie was fit.

Is a bit harsh on Moyano.

For all Crosbie’s fine efforts last week Bradbury, Vellacott and Kinghorn were the standouts along with a classy debut from Bofelli . These players play well and it gives so much more go forward and time to our midfield and wide men with Hoyland having a stormer . More please!

I noticed it at the time, but when I watched it back it was masterful - for Hoyland's late try for the BP Pyrgos is keeping the tempo up with quick flat passes, then just at the right moment he dummies that same pass and pulls it back for Hoyland to run on to and through the gap he goes.

Brilliant stuff.

That carry was something else, oh and yeah it was Hoyland with the big tackle earlier.


We haven't quite got going yet, they are a decent side Benetton.

Benetton are a good organised team, think we need a bit more composure, accuracy and patience earn the right to go wide.

Good BP win against a very stuffy side, we didn't play brilliantly but 5 points will do.

Good summary.

Some of the combinations were a little "off" to me. Not convinced by Gilchrist and Hodgson as a pairing, for example.

And I wouldn't be sure that Hodgson be the one that should give way.

Would add I don't think we should be disrupting the flow.of our game to.move a 10 just for a winger injury. Kinghorn stays at 10 and we win that game far more comfortably.

Savala got a full half on the pitch and it was still a bonus point win, so a good decision for development reasons though.
