One area I do think Ealing could improve is their wingers, the 2 starting weren’t very quick, Tapley and Adamson could turn and catch them. They are going to need more than power in the Premiership, as they won’t overpower Premiership teams.

We really missed someone like Nansen from Saints who would’ve hit the Ealing attacked backwards when coming at us at pace and Douglas at inside centre.

I think the over zealous jubilation detracts from his game but I forgive him. I think any championship team would like to have in their squad.
I hope the game always has room for characters like De Wee but slightly surprised to note he has only had a single yellow card this season. If he really has such a caffeine overload every club and referee must be aware of it and I would be surprised if they didn't plan to wind the lad up.

Agree with that. The key to The Pirates win was that we more than matched them at scrum time and line out and knocked them back behind the gainline when they ran at us. Our defence was brilliant and they couldn't break through. They may well have improved since then, but if you can match their power you have a chance to turn them over.

I don’t think he’ll find the prem refs as accommodating to his antics as the championship ones. I can’t imagine Wayne Barnes (or Nigel Owens if he was a prem ref) letting him get away with it.
