You had a similar opportunity in the first half (from a bit further out) and fucked it up. Escath has the dominant pack, so a scrum was unlikely to gain you the advantage. Tap 'n' Go may have paid off. But, fuck it, you'd have lost anyway

Spotted another error to correct. Tries from Line Breaks not counting towards either Running Metres counts. Hence, I hadn't picked this up before. I manually adjusted Graham & Weaver's final metre gain stats to include their line breaks. Nice spotting, Gaz.
Erm. No idea. It wasn't in an important phase of play, so I didn't notice it until the stats were compiled at the end. Would probably have to be Tart or Ames, I suspect. Good pace, high post rankings, decent amount of Attacking bias...
I'll look forward to that phase of play in regular season where I demolish one of them. Our time in opposition 22 doubled. 1/4 of the match played next to their try line. Dominant pack ftw.
