City forwards didn't turn up, and the Rays were all over them. Gunn, Buchanan, Browning in particular completely outplayed. Others to disappoint for City were Frisby (poor kicking, poor passing, some shocking decisions including a senseless grubber that Kotze just turned around and screamed at him for), and their small left winger (Laloifi?). Gunn is highly rated, but he has yet to put in a performance in the NRC that shows why so far, in my opinion.
You could tell the Rams were up for it, their defensive line was well set and they screamed to get set and who their man was, whereas the City line had no communication and the 13 channel was a mess. Rams were all over the ball at ruck time, getting numerous turnovers whilst City didn't seem to even want to compete at ruck time.
From the ground, Alcock, Mafi amongst others looked good, and the Rams 13 ran through City at will sometimes.
City's lineout also a complete mess.
Wish I knew what Roach was thinking for his yellow, he deserved it for sheer stupidity.
