In my own mind despite last nights thrashing we are well ahead of our three year rebuild, Dan has yet to have a preseason with his lads, there are new recruits on the way mainly in the form of Roddy Grant who is Dans own chosen man. I feel Roddy is going to completely revolutionize our forward game next season for which I'm looking forward to.
Our playing style is evolving week on week, this will give Dan more tactical options going forward which will make us more difficult for the opposition to study and work out. Dan mentioned pre Christmas that there is only one way we really can play due to our current at the time limitations. I'd like to see our options grow, the ability to change our style / tactics to suit weather conditions, the opposition and what we actually need to get out of a game.
Highlights have to be our two away European group game wins, the win at home to Racing (little Lowrys tackle on the Fijian) and that Quarter Final at Lansdowne.
If we could make a league and euro quarter final next year I would be ecstatic.
I'm already counting down the days to the start of next season, this time last year I'd have been happy never to have seen a rugby ball again.
