Quote ="kirkhall"There was no 'comeback' it was just as always at Mount Pleasant, a game of two halves meaning, whoever is playing down the Slope has a distinct advantage and believe me, it truly is a Slope!
I could have been twelve thousand miles away and known which way Batley had played in the first half! Its a farcical pitch to play a game of sport on!

Oh trust me I’ve played on that ski slope. I know the downhill makes a big difference.
For me though the comeback was 2 fold. Holding them to 12-4 for 30 plus mins with 12 men, playing up the hill, was equally as impressive as blowing them away in the second with 12 men, in the heat, with our starting prop in the stands. To come away from 70 plus minutes of rugby, with 12 men, and take 2 points and a score difference that I’m sure most of us would have taken before the kickoff I a testament to how much this team has grown since KP took over.
All that said, for me 12-4 down and a man down is a comeback no matter which way our guys were skiing.
