Quality try. Widdop’s still got it.

A try from outside the 10m line !!

In other news, Folau is a class centre.

[Man of Kent 7,013]

If Catalans had better props to give their backs more of a platform they’d be 100% certs for the playoffs.

Neat try. That Ashton's got pace.

Good first half that 

There is something so exciting about having real genuine pace in your team. I remember when Kevin Penny burst on the scene and he was box office. These are the players wee should be selling our game on. 

Very good game so far, a lot of great skill on show.

They should bring this back, in the absence of any internationals for the foreseeable

[Man of Kent 7,013]

After you, Claude...

[Cheshire Setter 1,199]

I want to see a foot race Philbin vs Ashton.

[Man of Kent 7,013]

Good finish but the defending on Philbin....zuts alors!

The Exiles concept never really caught on. The games weren't exactly classics either. Lack of preparation time saw some fairly disjointed team performances.

He is, did you see him lay on the floor as widdop waltzed through to set up that try? 

[Cheshire Setter 1,199]

I think the BBC do the fake crowd noise better. This skill on show tonight deserves better atmosphere.

[Barry Badrinath 240]

Mccilorum looks well off the pace, missed 2 tackles for the davies try and seems to just be watching a lot of tackles

The commentators said it looked like he was carrying a knock early on. Has he been rushed back from injury?

[Dave T 17,411]

It's why Gelling will never be truly class, no focus, just mucking about when we should be turning the screw. 

[Hughsehhh 304]

Folau is class. How long's he been out of the game, 10 years? He slots back seamlessly and already looks amongst the best centres around. For all the hype around SBW, Folau barely gets a mention unless it's someone trying to score self-righteous brownie points

He bounced of a tackle about 2 sets before sky noticed,  favouring his left shoulder 

[Dave T 17,411]

That is a beautiful try.

He hasn't had many mentions because the Dragons have attacked far more down the other side. He made that break by coming infield, possibly out of frustration.

But yes, he's done far more in this one match than $BW and his personal cameraman have managed in 2020.

[DavidM 10,016]

I’d say they were first aiders not stewards fella , there’s no crowd

One of the great tries

Im  interested to see how king measures up against folau tonight, its probably about even so far

[DavidM 10,016]

Another great try . Seen some fantastic tries in the matches in both comps so far this weekend 

[Dave T 17,411]

Another good try, Yaha this time. Thought we could have had a player binned for pulling back in the break

Think that might be a bit of unconscious bias.
