General thoughts
We just failed to stop the flow. We started a little slow there. We went 6-0 down, fought back, got it six all, but then we just couldn't stop the middle unit guys pretty much getting a roll on. We've had a disrupted week of prep and short turnarounds. We were a little bit clumsy for most of the first half but I thought we fought enough to not let it get fully out of hand.
At 28-6 it doesn't look good but it's still in the balance somewhat. In a well-refereed game I thought, where he let the game be played there was a critical moment at six all, last tackle on the try line where McIlroum lies in the ruck. It's one of those, sometimes you need that to go your way and it didn't and we weren't good enough to respond to that and the better team certainly won.
