Barrow Vs Toulouse : Thu Jul 02, 2009 7:23 pm  

Very scrappy first half from both sides. Plenty of mistakes, scrappy play and penalties conceded. All in all a pretty dour first half. They sure don't look the same side that annihilated us at the Stobart.

With last week's defeat, injuries, potential suspensions and ineligible new signings also, their not looking in the best of form going in to next week's final..

I strongly believe we've got the momentum behind us now a very strong performance on Sunday and no new injuries should give us the edge we need to win

Hope louisi continues throwing passes like he has done so far, Barrow always favour Harrisons side in attack.

The battle will be won up front, if our forwards get on top then were of and running.

How crap are Toulouse in keeping hold of the ball.

Shocking game of rugby, Toulouse are awful with ball in hand.

Barrow are still a very strong side though and did well to dominate in the 2nd half but they look well off form. The heat can't have helped this evening, hopefully that game will have sapped a lot of energy from them in advance of next week.

Toulouse though were shocking ball in hand and both sides gave away plenty of daft mistakes and trying to force the pass.

Gutted I'll be missing our last run out before the final

I thought Rooney was excellent, and I'm glad he wont be up against us in the NRC final. That big Centre of theirs (Harrison) looks a handful as well.

Harrison was a one time target of ours but has been faithful to his club so good on him and as you say a real handful.

Yes so crap they have already beaten us twice this year, played badly and still won shows they are a decent side.

they didn't beat us, we beat ourselves, especially the home league game where we couldn't string 2 passes together.
