Plymouth 15 Titans 14

By Rotherham unofficial
February 14 2006

A lot of rugby was played and it was an exiting game, but most of it happened in the middle fifty. Our line out went well; we secured most of ours and managed to put a bit of pressure on the Rotherham ball. Our scrum found it hard going today, we recognize that Rotherham have a very good scrum.

“It was a very hard fought win today, there was a fair pace to the game and Rotherham showed how good a team they are and what good players they’ve got and they’re all very comfortable on the ball. They showed a great deal of tenacity and they are growing as a team, they play very good rugby, very quick and they’ve got a lot of good ball carriers. We were a bit shell-shocked in the first twenty minutes, Rotherham have been on fire recently and they just moved too quickly for us, we were not used to it and it took a little while to get to grips with it. The last fifteen minutes of the first half we really stepped up to the plate and scored two tries, but the second half was a completely different game. There was virtually no try scoring opportunities and very few penalties in kicking distance. Obviously Rotherham had one but they messed that up!

It does look as though it may be between Plymouth and Rotherham for the fourth spot, but there’s a long way to go and it will be interesting to see how Penzance and Bedford cope over the next couple of months. But certainly for Rotherham and Plymouth, we hope that we’ll be in the top five, we don’t want to drop any further.”
