I am a huge Rance fan but last night wasn't a good one for him.
IMO He gave Nick Sookie Sookie too much of a head start on the lead. It seemed to me that Alex thought he'd be able to make up the start with his closing speed. Great in theory but old Nick can still use his big rump to gain an advantage in a marking contest. Just thought he should of played with a bit more touch/feel on his opponent, which is something old Nick has never liked
He wasn't terrible because he stuck to his task but he wasn't good either IMHO
