vs Devizes the day after a wedding...
And Bath v Bristol
Feeling very jaded so might be a brief report!

A bit windy. Trowbridge kick off but several players in front of the kicker - not an ideal start!.
Couple of good carries and Louis S makes a nice break down the left.
Recycled - two kicks and chase by Matthew who goes in
5-0

Good play by Devizes but our defence is sound
Well it was ………but a gap in the centres and they go through
Recycled held up short but only briefly and they go in
5-5

Good play Kacey and Leo
Some quick play and despite almost having his neck taken off Matthew goes through
10-5
Conv Freddie (still 100% this season!)
12-5

Good game so far - some nice offloads and some great defence. Under a bit of pressure some of which caused by over ambitious offloads
Just short Devizes
Scrum 5m
Kept out twice some great defence

Second half starts with another over ambitious offload. Scrum and winger goes straight through our centres again slightly dog legged line
And in they go
12-10
Conv
12-12

Good tackling by Trow - Good run Leo
Just in touch ….Maybe ?
Yep haven’t typed much this half too engrossed
First phase from scrum and straight in again
12-17
Phone crashed. had to reboot
Mistake in midfield - Matthew goes to kick through but it ricochets straight off the defensive line and they went in
12-22
12-24

Some hard work but accuracy of our passing this half has been a bit poor. Some great dancing feet by Matthew and he goes up and in for a great try
17-24
Full time

A good game with just a few issues to resolve.
Cons- line speed If all centres matched Rhys the defensive line would be better
Offloads-only when on, if in doubt take the contact and recycle and start again
Pros- Good work rate by lots of players
A tough game with hardly any forward subs on the bench (only Tom who turns out to be full of cold by 1pm!)
Going to give my MOM to a few of the unsung forwards-Josh, Nick and Emile
