BACK DOWN TO EARTH
This match was so painful to watch I want to keep my report to a bare minimum.
Let’s just say that for the second time this season, the southerners wanted this derby match a hell of a lot more than we did.
But let’s not forget – if Felipe had brought his kicking boots, it would have been a whole different ball game.
Another silver lining was that we can atone for this performance and relegate its status to “blip” by playing as we know we can at The Stoop on Sunday and set up a third chance to get the better of our rivals in the Heineken Cup semis.
