Did Sam James persuade Jason Robinson’s scriptwriter to come out of retirement? He left off the valiant late conversion effort but, otherwise, this was a home swan song of near-perfection.

I will admit to having a little chuckle at the end of the match, seeing all those empty bits of the stands that had, five minutes and two tries before, been fully occupied.
