Jones left Frustrated

Head Coach Ceri Jones was left frustrated in his sided defeat against Cardiff

“I felt we left some good opportunities out on the pitch and that cost us.  Our line out had some errors and then we didn’t capitalise when we were in their 22 for long periods in the 2^nd half.

We have to be more clinical, and we have to take those chances but we can’t keep on saying it. We had some good momentum early, took the points and then it was a 14-point swing when our lineout didn’t find our hands. They broke and minutes later it was a yellow card and a penalty try.

Playing with 14 men, I think we did alright and stayed in the game but then a 2^nd yellow and some errors gave them the chances.

If we cut out the errors, then we could cause any team problems, and its something as the coach I have to take responsibility for.  In training, I need to get these messages across to the players and work on it at training.

Credit to the boys resilience and fitness as even with the errors we stayed in the game up to the final whistle and it's commendable and infuriating at the same time.

It was great to see Paddy Nelson get 30 minutes and put in a good effort against the Cardiff pack, plus Owain Evans get some game-time which will do them both good experience wise going forward"
