Match Report

Laws verdict:

"We were always going to be up against it. We had three of our major defenders out and that hurt us."

"It was really tough and credit to the players for making a fight of it. The fans were forgiving and showed their intelligence. If we'd had a full squad available, they'd have had a right to have a go at us."
