Nigel Richardson ripped into his side as they slipped to their third defeat of their league campaign.

Wests' boss was unhappy with his troops – who scored their points through Charlie Moore's try and Joe Butt's penalty and conversion – as they conceded 26 points during a miserable second half.

Richardson said: 'It was a poor performance in the first-half. We went in 0-0 after being camped on their 22 and with the wind should have put some points on the board. In the second half we got picked up on our errors to be turned over for three late tries. The dressing room was flat from the start of the day and the lads have to man up, no matter what the conditions are like and how inconsistent the referee may be.'
