Cov roar to 43-5 at the break after playing what Morgan called ‘the best rugby I’ve seen in this league’

Head coach Scott Morgan described Coventry’s first-half performance as ‘the best rugby I’ve seen in this league’ on their way to a 53-26 win over Wharfedale at the Butts Park Arena.

But after leading 43-5 at the break, he also conceded that what happened in the second 40 minutes left room for improvement if Cov are to mount a realistic National League One challenge.

“It’s a rollercoaster at the minute,” said Morgan. “The first half was the best rugby I’ve seen in this league, let alone since I’ve been at Coventry – it was fantastic.

“But it was a tale of two halves, I guess, and leaves us perhaps looking at what might have been. I’m delighted with how we went in the first half – we did everything that we’ve discussed, nothing flashy, just executed what we planned to do.

he has forgot to mention that he walked down the touchline and went behind the dead ball area following conceding another try....when have we ever seen a coach do this before

Maybe he should have been on the field to get the shambles of the disjointed defence sorted out,As for being thrilled by the first half display I think he should look at how poor Warfdale were before getting to excited.

I think you'll find we won 53-26 not lost 53-26. If we win every game 53-26 I'll be happy.

If he did go behind the posts to speak to the team after conceding a try good on him - it's what I do on a Sunday morning when our team concede a try. Perhaps their coach should have gone behind the posts a bit.
