Did I read somewhere we have had Doyle foisted on us?

JP 'making it up as I go along' Doyle?

I thought he had been sacked? Sadly not, it seems.

Having watched Owens ref a couple of times in this WC, I think he's going the same way as Doyle. They both seem to be applying rules and interpreting guidelines from a few seasons ago.

Based on the shoulder to Willis and the blatant deliberate knock on both being ignored you do have to wonder if Doyle has a genuine grievance against Wasps.

Embarrassing performance, historically biased against wasps, robbed us in the prem final, should never be allowed to ref us again

I still think we have only ourselves to blame. At home against the team up from the championship, just keep it really tight for 30 minutes. Oh no, wild passes, off-loads, defense too narrow.

Willis cannot do it all on his own.

+1. also left too many points on the pitch and didn't play with any sense of maturity. I know its first game out and not a team that's played together before - but surely we're better than that...Glaws away will be a shock if we play like that next week.

Remember also it was Irish 2nd team and we still lost.

What on earth is going to happen next week against a team with a quality 10.

Pretty much same thoughts.

Willis was our only highlight. The rest of the team didn't click at times.

Our attack decision making still rusty e.g. Watson not offloading to 3 other players.

We didn't protect the ball at the breakdown at times.

We were exposed defensively a number of times.

I will say we had good amounts of quick ball and did take some opportunities well.

But blaming it all on Doyle isn't fair. I disagreed with a number of his calls but we dug ourselves a grave.

Was it just me or did Dan seem a lot slower at the breakdowns to get the ball out? usually he whips it out really quickly but he seemed to take his time before passing

I’m disappointed but i’ll get over it. On paper our squad looked pretty good. Haven’t watched the game yet. It’s all kicking off in the other place. Nice to see some regular discussion here, I’m sure we’ll come good and have a shout to creep into top 4. Coyw
