yes I think this is why I'm on balance glass half-full right now - we have shown a bit of fight. Also I think the biggest weaknesses are coachable - e.g. Marcel's woeful defensive positioning vs Cheetahs, uncoordinated kick chase defence, some differential line speed etc etc - or will hopefully reduce as the players become more familiar with each other, like (some of) the handling errors

Rum.... Clooney does ads for shyte coffee...Cooney is a far better player than we thought he’d be and
I enjoy watching him play Rugby.

I’d take it.

We have injuries/player unavailability. This hopefully will change re the business end of the season. For me the bonus is the exposure for the young players so far. If we make the play offs I’d take it no problem. With wc yr player management & injuries this exposure is likely to be plentiful. This is a long and potentially painful process.
