SAINTS missed too many tackles in their first game, losing 35-5.

Peterborough were clinical and snuffed out the majority of the chances created by Saints.

Nick Abbott ran strongly, whilst Tyler Elstub and Sam Hirons prompted the backs well from half-back.

Good rucking and mauling from Daniel McManus and Lachlan Park helped to recycle the ball well but the team were unable to covert pressure into points.

The game opened up in the second half, and Peterborough ran in three unanswered tries.

Save for a well-worked try finished by Toby Naylon, Saints offered little in reply and lost to the better side on the day.
