Good performance tonight - lets hope we can string a few results together now. Much of the match spent in their territory. The scoreline would have been far more favourable had we been that bit more clinical again.
Agree with Gary although I would single out Waller as Man of Match if pushed - terrific game from him tonight.
Ollie Robinson MOM for me. Closely followed by Ethan Waller & Addison Lockley.
Yes agree with Gary that this was more comfortable than score suggests. We must have spent 30 minutes in second half in their half & usually inside 22. They defended well & a bit of a concern that we didn't convert anything with all that pressure. But really enjoyed the game - two totally committed teams & now our injurys are clearing - we have great strength on the bench.
Great result - sorry I couldn't be there. Would be fantastic if we qualified for the quarter finals, and even better if we got a home draw so we could a) keep the receipts; and b) draw say Bristol and have a chance of getting to the semis. Some of the other group winners maybe a bit too strong for us at the moment but hopefully we will continue to build as a team and get stronger.

I posted recently that Mose have turned a corner. I think this result reinforces that because we didn't play the prettiest of rugby, we should have scored more, and we didn't play for the full 80 minutes. BUT we still won. At the start of the season we'd have been 15 points down at half time and fighting back, and not able to win a single line out. The improvement in our team has been incredible, based on where we started. Defensively we were good tonight, there was no way Scottish were scoring a try. Charlie Hayter's try was another fantastic team effort and so much better than anything they could throw at us. And as for Ethan Waller, talk about dancing feet. I thought he was going to score a try based on his agility alone, and that's saying something for a prop forward. The communication was better and we didn't panic too much if we were under pressure. This was a great game tonight and a good confidence boost to grind out a win when we needed to. I know we didn't win like we would have wanted but hey, this is Moseley. It wouldn't be fun if we won by 30 points. Mike Powell is back, Charlie Hayter is scoring tries, The team is functioning better than ever this season. I'm traveling to Plymouth because we are going to roll them over. Who's going to join me?

Fair play boys good win, if the Scots hadn't have defended so well we would have been out of sight but a great game to watch on a very cold Fri night!!! Come on Mose keep it up boys!!
Was unable to be at the match but followed progress via our excelent Score Centre updates (even if the last fifiteen minutes or so was a bit tense!). Good win and always a pleasure to beat London Scottish. Hopefully we can progress further in the competition and get our hands on the £10k prize money which has been mentioned elsewhere.....

Another good result. Well done lads, now keep the winning run going. I am looking forward to seeing and hearing GtF and other Mose supporters cheering on the lads at Brickfields.
Tense but good game to watch. Not as many supporters as last match but we still made a noise and that is what the team needs. It also helps to keep you warm. 2 good game as far as the supporters (16th man) are concerned. Lets keep it up at Llanelli next week (there are still places left on the coach which leaves Moseley at 10-30 prompt. Contact me on travel@moseley supporters.co.uk if you want to fill one of the seats. Further details on the MSA web site). See you at Plymouth Gerald depending on weather etc. Brilliant stew with dumplings keeps the cold out there. Others say the Curry is just as good. Good club to visit Plymouth. Then it's back home to take on Bristol. Lets make it the 2nd double of the season. I love to beat Bristol. They always look so surprised. Come on you Moooose and Mose Fans.
Another much improved performance against a near full strength LS team. Set piece was again really good and the lads certainly edged it in the loose. Those that stayed away missed a really good team showing.
A number of pressure positions not converted into points but I'm sure it'll come right soon. At least we are creating the chances. Very promising for the league game against Scots as it is definitely one we can target.
Some of the young forwards really turned in excellent performances. You can see why Saints have offered Waller a senior contract. Well done Mose!
Enjoyed a close fought game - well done Mose - hope you do the same in the league! Mega impressed with Ethan Waller, particularly in the loose - he was my MOTM
