That was a good workout. First half very tough and Bristol were in many ways the better side but we managed to get some more control in the second half and ran on some good tries. Positives for me were Drombrandt, Kunatani, Lusmanu, Chisholm And Gsbd. The bigggest disappointment and explains his abscence from the first team was Visser
Yes Visser did nothing of note all game really, perculiar. We know he is capable of so much more!

Visser though didn't really do anything wrong. He was good under the high ball, etc.  However, one of the problems with wings is that they need people to be passing the ball to them for them to shine.  But, Gabs did a lot more to get the ball as it wasn't coming to him either.

But last night, the show belonged to numbers 6, 8 and 15.

A rush defence from Bristol made it difficult for the ball to get wide. Visser was good in the air.

Can Tom W please do the post match interviews for all games?  Interesting, articulate and honest evaluations, imho

Agree with most of the comments here. Especially enthused about Semi, Kenningham and Dombrandt. Luamanu was ok at lock and obviously not as free running as he would be ordinarily at 8, but I see that as his position now.

But I strongly disagree with the views of Visser. I thought he was busy throughout. Mates with me agreed - we noticed it separately. There was one particular phase towards the end of the game where he stopped Ibitoye from being bundled into touch, then smashed a ruck and we scored on the left wing. He always goes looking for work, something that Walker didn't really do on Friday.

I didn't go to the game last night , but watched it on TV . I watched Visser last week against Gloucester and in previous A games and each time he has been invaluable in sorting out the defence - pulling players across  and telling the less experienced where to stand . It is quite often his voice you can hear when the stadium is quiet . I think he does a lot of work off the ball and whilst I agree he didn't appear as ' busy ' as Ibitoye , he didn't make any errors and seemed to work hard with and without the ball.

With regard to the TV coverage , I thought it was excellent considering it was a 2nd XV game - good light hearted commentary from Nick Heath and James Horwill , a bit of banter but quite informative - good addition to a quiet Monday night !

The Cup table looks pretty good as it stands!

Perhaps Visser is taking a similar role to Williams. One that isn't noticed as much until it's not present.

Plus, I agree with a comment on the other thread that he's got nothing to prove in Quins cookie colours in my mind.
