Closely followed by shaul who I thought was fantastic, his try had shades of Tompkins.
Also Taylor who ran through everything no matter how hard he was hit, he just trampled over them.
Carlos, hands and step in centre pos we havnt had for some time.

Special mention for Thompson, who has stepped up his game and has fantastic footwork at the line

Looking very promising

Houghton -fantastic running .
Shaul - scared them to death every time on ball
Thompson - tireless display . great foot work

Very difficult to narrow it down to three but here's mine:

Houghton.
Bowden.
Shaul.

1. Houghton - machine last night, got through a lot of work and created a few tries with his running from dummy half.

2. Pritchard - bit quiet towards the end after he picked up a knock, but I thought he was superb. He makes metres every time, usually with 2 or 3 players hanging off the back of him.

3. Sneyd - was good to see him bossing the game. Thought him and Pryce compared to Lui and Dobson were on another level.

Special mention to Thompson. Took his try well, but I thought he performed admirably against Carney in what looked like difficult circumstances. Players and coaching staff kept him away from Carney at the end, otherwise I think he'd have lamped him.

Also, Bowden and Green was great and its nice to not lose any impact when our starting props went off.
