@wolvesrl 3 out of 3 is an unreal start for us but 7 penalties in 8 minutes at the end conceding 10 off the back of it needs sorted. Game maybe felt done but discipline for 80mins in France required next week! 🐺 #Wire #SLHudWar

An encouraging game. Fewer penalties from us. Some good moves in attack. To get our first win since 2014 there is brilliant. Good attendance by our fans. Enjoyed the match
