To be frank my recollection of this game is a little shady. I had been on the piss for at least 11 hours and not looking my finest.

I recall we started well but were denied a try in dodgy circumstances, who knows and who cares.

I do know that we capitulated after that and some over-rated winger dotted down five individual tries. This is obviously not ideal and when his team mates put on another four we can assume that we are pants.

We have no heart, no pride and no discipline. The boys gave up after the Auckland game and to me that is not good enough. The small amount of public that still go to Albany deserve to be treated with an ounce of respect. Sadly this means that the coach and his staff must be sacked immediately, the captain must be stood down and half the team forced into the rugby wilderness.

I'd rather support a team of club want-to-be's rather than the shit I'm forced to watch now.

Stick ya Union up ya arse.

See you SATURDAY.....
