Fluency is the key as Bulls step up to mark
Bulls go into the mid-winter break in third place in Wadworth 6X South West One East after chalking up their fourth win on the spin.
Goode was delighted to see Bulls complete their first double of the campaign on the first weekend of the second round of games in Saturday’s 57-10 success at improving Bicester.

Goode added: “When we do play our patterns everybody individually knows what they are supposed to being doing. Whether they’re playing back row or out on the wing it doesn’t matter as we’ve got the players who can adapt.
“Everybody is comfortable with our game plan and what we’re doing in our training sessions. We’ve got four training sessions between now and Chippenham to prepare for that game.”
Looking back on the derby success, Goode added: “It was business as usual for us. We’re into the second half of the season and teams will know how we play so on the back of that we’ve changed a few things, clearly it worked on Saturday.

“This is a tough place to come, we just needed to stick to our targets and to our plan and we did that. Bicester were better than when we played them at Banbury but we were just too strong for them.”
