Good to see Mallinder back involved - I'm interested to see what effect no longer being coached by his dad will have had on his game.

Good to see Alex Coles getting a run at lock, top lad.

Mitchell back too. Good to see.
Its early days and he is still a youngster, but there is something about Will Capon that i like a lot. Hope he gets some meaningful time off the bench.

Brizzle have a definite shortage of captains

Doubt this will be a classic, the pitch seems extremely wet.

Some big hits being made so far, lovely stuff

Bristol a bit devoid of ideas there and Saints defend the endless pick and drive well

Every time Bristol look like they're about to punish us they gift us with a knock on. Coaches must be very frustrated

I can’t even tell what’s happening there. Is it a top-knot or a Mohawk or what?

Bristol back strong.

I’ve dipped in and out of this game but Saints seem weirdly directionless.

Adam_P · Post by **Adam_P** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 4:43 pm

It's been a very poor 2nd half for Saints.

Odd game.
Both sides had their moments interspersed with loads of errors, poor option taking and execution. Saints as poor in 2nd half as Bristol were in the 1st.
Unless the rest of this league shape up you may as well hand Exeter the title now.

Good 2nd half from Bris again! Thought we were done at 14-0.

I agree. A hair don’t or two in that game.
