So we can’t win them all

A hard match against a good Wellington team, who kicked excellently and played the conditions well. We have two centres that have only just started and the improvement is good to see. The defensive positioning was vastly improved over last week and a much better backline did not really look like scoring (apart from the gifted interception try). So what was missing today? It certainly wasn’t effort or talent or desire to win. It was just a little experience to run off each other more effectively, but mainly it was the confidence to know that they are capable of running ragged any backline we play. I can see that this is not so far off, lets see if we can’t get it all sorted out before the final on the 21st.
