Very gutsy win! Great resilience in the second half. Webster is doing an unbelievable job.

I just can’t get around the tactic of only making two changes in the first half. If a side gets momentum and loads of possession in the second half, then our keys guys have all played big minutes and are gassed and we have the likes of Healey and Bunty who are fresh but not suitable for the situation. Having 6 interchanges doesn’t seem that helpful.

Although, I thought Healey did very well when he came on.

Just finished watching delayed coverage.

Holy shit that was stressful. The commentators noted something I was impressed with too. We have defense running up following kicks. It's driven me nuts for years how many meters we gift teams by letting them run back 20 meters but man our defense looks great.

Could this be the real deal? The hope is way too strong right now.
 
First half we got good opportunities to attack.

Second half we got better opportunities to soak up pressure. Respond under pressure. Win under pressure.

Lots of big defensive plays from our team tonight. Such a great game for team morale etc. Taulagi thought he had a double and the commentators almost blew their loads for the cowboys.

But this is a moment for our boys to savour
 
After the trials I was worried if we ended up playing Kosi in the bright lights in Vegas.

He's done well filling in when given the opportunity. I'm happy to forget those past bad performances and judge him on his recent performances he deserves it.
Yes and no

Not hating on big Ed his performance was ok but the cows first try in the second half was from a kick behind Kosi.. he was slow to turn and got burnt by Derby who got lucky with bounce to score…

I don’t understand why attacking teams dont target this weakness.. a grubber behind him for such a large unit he’s always going to struggle to stop and turn… I guess Webby is counting on CNK and the inside cover to make the tackle…
