A torrid affair at Toll Stadium saw league leaders experimenting tactically, and league gutter-dwellers displaying why they belong there.
It was a game for the forwards, with Christophe Berdos having to be on his toes all game. Grizzly Bear 141 showed everyone why he's considered a god tier prop, driving from every ruck and fighting for every loose ball. His heroics didn't go unrewarded as he breached the GWR defence and ran in a delectable try.
It's an unfortunately common practice for GWRFC to utterly collapse after conceding, and their defence lies in tatters for the rest of the match. "They're a f***ing disgrace" cries sacked lineout coach, Network Repairman, "I'm glad to be done with them, I hope they're relegated".
Despite their many attempts GWRFC didn't manage to get The Jacobite going (their usual channel of scoring). However, the Fat Controller having enough of being contained 5 metres from his line, burst forward up to the 22 in a blitz of rage. Leaving Pets strewn in his wake, there are rumblings of this being the biggest carry the Pro 12 has seen this year.
