Coaches Comments: "We need to have a big session on Wednesday at training. Although we won easily and played well in patches there needs to be quicker movement. We won some good lineouts and good scrimmaging but at times we looked complacent. There was some big tackles today from Pell, Grunwald and Stone but the best tackle was made from Greg Taylor - it was awesome"
