Well... On a positive note, its a good sign that the Reds played badly but still managed to win, albeit against a bad opposition. There will be a lot of things to take away from that match.
Set piece is struggling in consistency, it doesn’t have its dominance that it did last year and they need to recognise that when opting for a scrum off a penalty. Last night they could have gone for a penalty goal to sustain the pressure and keep the score line ticking overs rather then trying to use the scrum to force further penalties.
Halves, pretty happy with how McDermott and Hegarty are progressing, given one’s a rookie and ones a journeyman they are doing a pretty good job controlling the game and seem to be getting better each week.
Finally, Jock Campbell did a really good job on debut i thought, found a bit of space and was solid in defence, importantly i thought his decision making was pretty good. When he found space a few times he opted to step back in and take the hit rather then trying to tip-toe the touch line, not the fastest or biggest guy, but technically quite proficient for a winger.
