Forward Martyn Williams offers no excuses for our defeat
"It's frustrating but the big positive for me is the second half performance. We could have thrown in the towel but we came out and played some good rugby, showed great character and put us in a position to win the game."
Skipper Ryan Jones said: "We've played rugby for 30 minutes in a game of 80 minutes and that's just not good enough.
"You just can't give teams of that quality that much of the ball. Our set piece was poor and it's just not good enough."
