at vicarage road. harry kane and dele alli scored two each to move them above manchester city on goal difference. i think we played one of the best first halves so far. the effort was fantastic. we came from a very difficult period over christmas and new year when we play a lot of games but it is fantastic to see the team fresh and competitive. manu tuilagi has been ruled out of england's training camp next week after a knee injury forced him to limp out of leicester's defeat to saracens. elsewhere it's 8—defeats in a row for sale as they were beaten by the bottom side bristol. gloucester can't win either another narrow defeat for them. and harlequins' poor away form continued in a 24—17 defeat at struggling worcester, their 12th loss in 13 away games.
