Yes Matt that’s what I was told . You only had to look at the size differential especially across the back. I thought the 16s held their own for long periods . Made some crucial errors at times towards the back end of half’s but they tried to play football and scored some good tries and the one that wasn’t looked good to me from where I was stood . I like the look of a lot of this side . Young Davies and Gannon were standouts today . Thought the prop Gunn did some good stuff too. Think the 3 kids off the bench were only 14 so it was always a big ask. A good game to watch though well done both sides
