THE buzz is back at the club after two superb results this week. Saturday's 56-18 victory over Henley was followed up on Tuesday night by the Warriors' 34-12 win at Northampton.

The two gave me equal amounts of pleasure but, of course, the spotlight was very much on the first team's performance.

What delighted me was the tempo that we started the Henley match with at Sixways and then continued on for the whole game.

I have been asking the guys to give me 80 consistent minutes of rugby all season it seems but on Saturday, they came very close to doing that. The urgency was there from the first minute and we went out and tried things. However, credit must go to the referee as well for letting the game flow and allowing it to become the spectacle it deserves.

I pointed out, in last week's column, that I was hoping for a better standard of referring in the game and I thought Ed Morrison was spot on throughout the match. His management of the game made it enjoyable for the players, the coaches and importantly the paying supporter.

There were more than 70 points on the board at the final whistle and the game was a credit to Ed because his performance was excellent. Sometimes, because we are second division we get a lower standard of referee but it was nice to look at the name of the referee before the game and have complete confidence in him.

It was a positive day for everyone because Henley, as well as us, always tried to play rugby and never let their heads go down.

The player to come out of the match with most credit was Scott Barrow who was playing just his first Union game at league level since his switch from St Helens last year.

He was a revelation at centre considering he is just 20. His passing and just his general feel for the game was outstanding and I also thought defensively he did a good job for us. You cannot ask more of a young man than that in his first game.

You throw these youngsters in sometimes and you are not 100 per cent sure of what you are going to get but I never had any doubt Scott would settle very quickly into his stride.

Considering his age, he already has a good level of experience from his time at St Helens. He knows how to be professional and is used to the expectation of a big club. That is the difference between him and the average youngster who comes through the ranks.

He has got the platform now to go wherever he wants in the game. He was quite excited about his debut and got a lot of praise in the paper but that is one game in a row. He knows he has to produce that quality every week to justify his place because in the area he plays in, there is a lot of competition for places.

One of the biggest compliments to Scott is that he starts at Exeter on Saturday after his display and skipper Alistair Murdoch moves to the wing from centre. Alistair would prefer to stay at centre but his power and pace will be vital assets to us on that left wing.

He scored two tries against Henley and really looked a threat every time he got the ball. He obviously wants the ball and enjoys being involved at centre. However, I'm sure that with Scott there, Alistair will get so many chances to score now because the boy is so creative.

Although there have been a lot of positives to come out of this week, we had a double injury blow with the news of Nick Baxter and Greg Meredith's injuries. Nick fractured his eye socket in the first half against Henley and will have to have an operation to remedy the problem.

It is desperately unlucky for Nick who had only just won his place back in the side. However, I'm sure he will bounce back because he is a very upbeat person.

Greg could be out for up to eight months with a cruciate ligament injury. He suffered the injury in the recent under-21 game and I feel for the lad because he was coming on nicely.

I like him as a player and I expect big things in the future. He has time on his side though and despite the injury, I'm sure we will see great things from him in the future.
