Quite like that photo. Partly down to the ‘bar-code’ away shirt I think

I do remember Botica did more good than bad but when he had a brain fart, it was of epic proportions and always led to a defeat. I'll never forgive him for ruining my lovely weekend in Lyon.

The two clangers that most will remember were the kick to touch that didn't make touch v Saints, which indeed lead to them scoring & winning and the kicking away of possession v Montpelier, which meant we couldn't have forced a draw and extra time - he individually didn't make us lose - that was our inability to deal with a heavy South African pack that brutalised us.

The Saints one was the real clanger. Clearly just not thinking straight and acting on instinct. The Montpelier one was hugely frustrating, but from memory we were in our half and didn't really look like scoring. He certainly didn't cost us the game, just threw away a chance to try to snatch an unlikely draw. A very frustrating way to end the game, but not like he blew a clear cut game winning opportunity.

My memory is VERY hazy but for the Montpellier game, weren't we looking dangerous and suddenly playing some really effective attacking rugby, largely through Botica himself?

The Cat kicked well for Montpelier; Botica, who was about to join them, kicked ball back to them!

I remember how it ended. I was talking about how he was playing right up to that point.

My point was more that the two fly halves, who ended up on the opposite sides, had different impacts; the BBC report was more for context.
