With Gaskell playing in the back row, we’re really putting their line out under pressure.

Miller is nervous/rusty.
Not quite in flow.

Our backs really are not firing.

Defence again, falling off tackles.

I was just about to post that their backs look sharp, as expected, and they they cut us to ribbons.

I hope those early missed kicks aren't going to be haunting us at the end of the game. This is too close for comfort.

We maybe missing Brad Shields’ calm influence and leadership more than we realise.

Brad has apparently played 35 out of our 36 games in all competitions.
Is that right?

Mind boggling if true.
Maybe I misheard.

No genuine 7 to slow their ball up then dangerous looking backs with a threatening Hughes looming.

Come now, everybody says Launchbury is a much better leader, and he is on the pitch still.

We are not getting enough possession and defensively it doesn’t sound to great

Nice work from Morris, stayed alert and made the try.

Scrappy.
Followed by brilliant offload by Morris for Stooke try. 
Another miss by Jimmy.


I might take Miller off on 50 and play Mills at 12. Jimmy at fullback.
