Quote Oxford Exile="Oxford Exile"typical Wire..no youth system......How did Bridge go?'"
Bridge (senior) didn't see too much of the ball and was fairly well marked. He did make two good 'belligerent' breaks though, and I was quite impressed with him.
However the player that caught my eye was Laithwaite. He looked full of confidence, got through a lot of work, and ran some really good angles. He is not as fast as Currie, but the two look quite similar. He must be nailed on for a fair number of 1st team games next year if that performance is anything to go by.
I also like Broughton, he is looking quite a mature player after his stint in the Championship. Self assured, good positioning play, good tackler and a calming influence on the team.
Apart from the last 10 minutes or so when the whole team seemed intent on sunbathing rather than playing rugby, it was a really professional performance. Although I suppose they were disrupted by a couple of injuries.
