Have you ever, ever, ever seen Sarries decline to take the points? I never want to play the Sarries way, but by refusing to take the free points on offer they were laughing at our game management and their confidence grew cos they knew we'd carry on banging our heads against their defensive wall. They simply chipped away. 3 + 3 + 3 ......... we need some pragmatism sprinkled with our wonderballs!
I have to politely disagree with this, obviously this is just my opinion and everyone else is entitled to their own but for me the game started slipping away when Danny went for the drop goal. That is the moment that Sarries really knew they had got us under pressure because we changed our winning formula (same as with the Sale game) and I would also say it is exactly the same as the way Quins felt (certainly I did) when Exeter took their shot at goal in the final, that was the moment we knew they where panicking.
In my opinion Danny should have done almost anything else with a penalty advantage, boot it sky high into the try area and see what happens we had absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain.
At the same time I am very proud of our team, they have a never say die attitude and still showed commitment to try and get that draw at the end when they must have felt very demoralised after what they know was a missed opportunity. I would be very surprised if we see any drop goals or penalty kicks at goal unless it is the last second and in front of the posts to win the game.
But that is just my two cents
