O'Gara did one crossfield kick to Williams side but he wasn't there. Instead he'd drifted off onto the other wing but arrived too late to help out. Eventually the Sharks tighthead flopped over. I was disappointed with him for that, sure you want him to try and get involved in the game but discipline is important too. Despite trying hard he just didn't get involved in the game. Slow service from Phillips didn't help but Williams is a decent threat coming inside and finding mismatches. Why wasn't he doing it. Bowe seems to be always in the right place at the right time.

The Lions aren't playing with enough width and it's worrying. They have the wingers and lots of possession but they're not giving them good ball. Hopefully they'll resolve that.

ROG tried two kicks I think. One of them all Williams had to do was fall over and it was a try it landed literally in his hands. Instead he knocks it on!
