Our error count seemed to be a good bit lower this week and look what happened. The last try was disgraceful but I get the feeling that, even if it had been taken after a defensive set up had been in place they still would have scored - they just wanted it and weren't going to be denied. We weren't ...

Probably both together.

Anybody got a source for gossip on Italian rugby? With Benetton doing pretty well and Zebre still languishing at the bottom of the URC, is there any sense among Zebre supporters of them being treated badly by the powers that be?

By the way, what's the logic behind showing the match on BBC NI? Would it not make more sense to make away matches available? I suppose Premier/Viaplay would veto that so why don't they veto these home games?

Looks like we're pretty much all agreed that last night was a win by the least worst of the two teams. I'm hearing the words 'knock on' in my sleep. We had one turnover in our favour; they had six, seven? After the try-saving tackle, I'd like to see Izzy and McCloskey as a centre partnership! Too ma...
