Difficult one to judge today. Bridge apart, most players were like the curates egg - good and bad in places, some more than others.

Undeniable plus points though (superb Bridge display aside) were England & Atkins. The former was, I thought, our best forward over the 80 and Atkins continued his recent excellent form, with an aggressive, controlled and incisive display.

Short turnaround and another player down, but we live to fight another day and hopefully, this time, for the full 80 minutes.

There will be no Leeds in this year's final... Tom Briscoe you silly, silly manman
