SOUTHEND had a happy homecoming after five away games, running in five tries to claim a bonus point win over bottom club Bracknell.

But head coach Kevin Harman is still keen to see his team produce a consistent performance after they suffered some quiet spells in Saturday's success.

"We played well for the first 15 minutes and the last 15 minutes but in between we struggled a bit," he said.

"We need to play a proper 80 minutes of rugby, but what was pleasing was how we finished the game strongly."
