Head coach, Tom Snelgrove, commented:
“It seems like an age since we last played, but it has given us and the players a little of time to reflect on the first three fixtures of this block.
“Although the results have been good, we know this young group still have more to give in terms of development. It’s always easier to be critical on a win, but what has been pleasing is the players are recognising their own faults and offering suggestions to improve.
“We are expecting a very tough game on Sunday, with RGC showing up really well last week, but all season has seen them perform well against all the other teams.
“All the players are aware that this a development block and we need to see an increase in performance, so that is our message this week: continue to improve the small skills and the big picture will come”.
