After last week any kind of win will do. This weekend has worked out very well for us, even if we made this result much harder than it should have been. With Treviso at home next week we have a big chance to put points on the board. Having Heenan and O'Hallaron back is a big positive, and Cooney looked solid enough a 9.

Think the least Dragons deserved was the late bonus point. Very important victory but we made awful hard work of it. At 17-3 with a man advantage I was thinking bonus point but in the end it went down to that dubious block down try to seal it. Conceding 3 tries against 14 men was a joke.

The pitch was a joke but we didn't play the conditions at all. Thought Muldowney was superb. We've seen it from him in patches but today was a big performance from him. I'd be inclined to leave Cooney at scrum half on today's display. Lots of aimless play though and one or two good kicks apart no leadership from either 10 we had on. I have criticised O'Halloran in the past but he showed some intelligence when he came on and did what was needed.

Would have bitten your hand off for a win this morning and am pleased with it but I hope we don't regret not driving that one home for a 5 pointer.

Treviso next week has to be at a minimum another win and hopefully a 5 pointer. After this weekend Cardiff and Dragons are out of the equation if they weren't already and with Scarlets and Edinburgh both facing away games next weekend we need to capitalise.

Plus is 4 points, negative is that we didn't get a bonus and gifted the Dragons all of their scores.

Edit: on review it's definitely not

We really have to come away with the 5 points this evening.


I'd take four now....the dragons aren't going away, lead only 5 now :sick:


Know the conditions are terrible but aimlessly kicking it away every time and stupid mistakes when we are a man up.
We will be lucky to win this

2 tries to 1 to the Dragons since they had a man sent off. Another very poor performance.
