SEDGLEY Park are desperately searching for a way of converting possession into points.

They failed last Saturday when, despite seeing plenty of the ball, they were unable to score more than two tries against a London Welsh side that crossed the whitewash four times to win 24-18.

"We failed to take the right options and a number of guys failed to produce the goods individually," said Tigers' director of rugby, Tim Fourie.

"In the first half we had three or four opportunities and wasted them while Welsh were much more controlled, made the most of their possession and took their chances.

"We made changes at half time and scored two good tries but despite again enjoying a lot of possession we continued to be wasteful.

"We played with a lot more passion and intensity but continued to make poor decisions."

The situation leads towards mention of the dreaded "R" word - relegation.

While both the Tigers and second-from-bottom Pertemps Bees both lost, basement club Launceston won.

The Tigers are now just five points ahead of Launceston and six ahead of the Bees.

"Launceston have the toughest run-in with three out of their four games away, the last being at Northampton," added Fourie.

"So it is vital we beat Moseley this Saturday (kick-off 3pm), as Bees should beat Newbury and Launceston have a tough one away to Esher. After Moseley we are away to the Bees and then finish with Rotherham at home. But for now we are focused on beating Moseley.

"They like to stretch you by throwing the ball around but we know what we are up against having drawn 13-13 down at their place.

"We will have to be far more aggressive, key players will need to take the right options and we need to get our team selection right.

"That depends on whether Jimmy Ponton is fit and if centre Luther Burrell is available, as Leeds recalled him last weekend when he made his Guinness Premiership debut."
