The second half was much the same affair although the if the game was played on points for procession of the ball Corby would have one this contest. They won all their lineouts and took 60% of the oppositions. However poor tackling and handling errors cost the homeside dearly.

I really do feel for the lads this week. They are getting to grips with work we are doing in training as the lineouts proved this weekend. However, basic handling and tackling skills have let them down. We have three games left and we have to target two of them as realistic chances for a win. So we will work hard on the training ground this week to improve on Saturdays mistakes
