If we ripped shit out of them for getting spanked a) nobody would turn up next year and it would get worse and b) nobody would be surprised anyway.
When it gets that bad, you start turning to things such as being happy that your players keep trying until the final whistle, celebrating the couple of line breaks that you manage to make etc.
Physically, the Hale team was twice our size, and their number 8 ran faster than our wingers. We were never going to win the game and we knew it. In those situations, rugby becomes all about making the best contest you can.
