What did you think about the Bibby no try decision? I also want to see the obstruction calls, one of which I think would have led to a try. The first Havard penalty looked harsh and I think the Cas player was offside on the final play of the game (cherry and white specs on)

I've just watched it again and Bibby definitely scores. Even if that's not given, the Cas player kicks the ball over the dead ball line and it's a goal line dropout, NOT a 20 metre tap which is what was given.

Just watched the no try back. Looks to me like he's grounded it on the deadball line, hence the 20m tap. Fine margins.
First obstruction - Isa stops in the line, as soon as Lockers passes it's a penalty. Either Isa needs to get through the gap, or Lockers needs to surrender. We get given a soft penalty on the next set, Isa then ruins it by getting penalised in possession for slapping a Cas player. Massive one that, stupid.
Second obstruction also correct, Farrell stops in the line.
You're right about Cas being offside at the end. We should have had a penalty and needed to do a 'wide to West'. Daft decision to spend time taking the conversion, we have the right to elect not to take it, and the clock would have gone off straight away.
Overall we were our own worst enemies in that game. Over eagerness in defence led to three offside penalties. Three high tackles. A shoulder charge. Penalised in possession for striking. Marched 10 metres for dissent. You can't do that on a short pitch and expect to win the game. Constantly gave ourselves hard work to do.
