Bedford Blues were eventually well beaten 33-12 by promotion-chasing Rotherham yesterday with the quality of the Titans’ finishing the difference according to centre Michael Le Bourgeois.
The Blues frequently punched holes in their opponents’ defence, particularly in the first half, but were all too often let down by either wild passing or poor handling.
Despite this, they were very much in the game at half-time but their high-flying opponents stepped up several gears after the break as they gave the final score an emphatic look.
Le Bourgeois said: “The score feels a bit harsh but they were clinical when they broke through and they only missed a few chances because our scramble defence was pretty good.
“We were fluffing up our opportunities at the last and it ended up killing us.
“We were breaking through and making clean chances but we’re just not taking them well at the moment while they were clinical and that shows on the scoreboard.
“Our play is getting a lot better because we’re getting towards the end of the season and we’re enjoying how we’re playing now.
“But just when we look good, we cough the ball up and teams are punishing us.â€
Bedford trailed 13-9 at half-time in what was a feisty encounter and looked well set to turn the game around as Rotherham had two men sent to the sin bin in fairly quick succession.
But for the second home game in a row, the Blues failed to make the most of a two-man advantage and they were eventually starved of the ball as the Titans squeezed the life out of them.
Le Bourgeois, who was himself shown a yellow card in the first half for a dangerous tackle, said: “It comes down to basics and that is where we must really step it up a notch and use the extra man to our advantage.
“We’ve got a week off now so the guys can go away and recuperate and after that we intend to enjoy the last few games.
“Everyone now is looking to take their opportunities and stay in the club’s plans for next season.â€
