AH saying its time to ring fence the Perm because of the Covid points. That won't make him popular with the EAs.

I take it that ball skills weren't prioritised for the forwards in the England camp

Tempest plain wrong three times now......how can you concede a penalty at scrum time when your opposite prop is lying on the ground?

Is he lying down because West hinged though. I think the first one against West was correct, that then puts West under pressure. West needs to keep his elbow up, and that's it now. If he does that, he may get the benefit of the doubt again.

West focuses on his elbow a bit now :D, then once he's moving forwards he gets it back into a strong position when it's clear he's not using it to pull down.

As an old LH, I'd be pee'd off at those against me - To Tempests's credit - he got the Exeter TH to scrum higher and West killed him.....

It feels like a bit of role reversal.

We're doing what Exeter do well... Its weird to see
