W 0-7 B

Cant really complain about their first try, thought they managed the build up very well to create the overlap. Who is the ref, think he is having a very good game. He is very clear and loud in his instructions to the players

Looks very much like what it is, ie a dead rubber for us.

He is back on his feet and playing on. Personally would have taken him off to make sure he is fighting fit for next week

Was that penalty for the hit on Miller as he kicked the ball. I thought the penalty is then from where the ball landed. Or am I miss understanding it.

Kibirige just had a howler and created a try for Bordeaux.

Dobby is trying way too hard, kicking away then on first phase when we were 20 metres out and the quick tap in the first half were just ridiculous.
Just get the ball and give it to the 10 as quickly as possible, back to basics

Yeah Robson doesnt seem himself but seems to be running more comfortably. Needs to know when to put some pace on the phase play. But then again they have made a mess of our ruck ball.

I've a feeling Agen were just bloody awful because our attack is just neutralised.

And our subs are in strange positions.... Robson's on wing, Kibirige at centre etc. Dai resting Fekitoa, Sopoaga, Launchbury.

The only good thing about this performance was Willis. But if Eddie has any sense he'll be with England.

Not impressed today.

Not particularly entertaining.

Surely there was a huge forward pass for the last try.

More like the match was a rugby spoiler.

What do we take from that, we did better away against their first team than the trouncing we just got. I feared that playing a first team would be counter productive in a loss, not sure what this capitulation will do for confidence.
Proper drubbing, we were pants

Nilled at home. Never mind it was a dead rubber for us. Team should be ashamed.

Really rudderless, and that stems from 9 and 10. Not kicking for the posts in the first half was dumb, and some of Robson's decision making (the quick tap, the grubber through) was poor. Oh well, best to move on to Worcs.
