I don't think we're capable of holding on to the ball for that length of time in our own 22 without coughing it up. I think the kick was the right option, just the execution of it was poor, oh, and then we completely failed to defend at the following ruck.

No way Quins can play keep ball in their own 22 for 3 + mins.

Kick was not that bad - Dombrandt hit the catcher - usually this would be enough - but Saints were alive and got moving quick - Big issue was that no one else followed Dombrandt up - so it was easy once he made the tackle to walk the touchline.

Don't think it helped with all the backline changes as well - Brown seemed confused as to whether he should commit to the tackle or cover the next attacker - that one moment meant that the SH slipped past with a subtle dummy - good effort.
