Absolutely correct.

For whatever reason the Bulls were never really at the races last Saturday and the best team won, as is usually the case. We all have ups and downs through a season though, so the last game has little or no bearing on the next, bring it on.

We lost to a team playing very well, to late breakaway try after a whole load of pressure on their line. We couldn't score a winner and sure we weren't at our best, but how is that never being at the races?

Indeed. We went set for set in the second half. They just had a more composed end to theirs and a bit more energy. There's hardly anything between the two sides.

Perhaps it's slightly unfair as we actually defended well (as is the norm, this season) but without any discernible plan to 'crack' the Fax defence, it always looked unlikely. If we'd only tried some off-loads or even had runners when we made breaks it may well have been a different story. But we didn't, and we rarely got decent field position late on because of it, then once Fax went ahead at the back end a win never really looked likely, much as they tried hard.

Not at the races, too many individuals a bit jaded, game plan perhaps not the best - call it what you will.
