That was annoying. Felt like James looked too nervous in the build up to his attempt, despite my mates expecting the net to bulge, I wasn’t confident.

As others have said, the starting XI and subs were a bit off for me. Wasn’t overly impressed with AKH and felt McCarron despite a few wobbles had earnt the right to play. Was not happy to see retre starting and I really don’t get it with him. Just don’t see it. Was the pitch particularly boggy at the north end ? Seemed to get stuck with tuiloma for the second. Then bringing LKH was the wrong call, I actually thought we didn’t play with enough urgency in the final 10 mins. No chasing the ball for throw ins etc, passing around the back. Their keeper was shark and we didn’t even pressure him. So deflating and disappointing.
