I had ref link on and it was difficult to work out who was skip after Robson. Not sure Robson’s leadership was that great. First option, there was a lot of decision making dithering, we had scrum or line out and we went scrum, Then Given a free kick- should have tapped and gone and then conceded a pen from scrum.
The backs didn’t hit any fluidity, especially from 1st phase. Once the move ended up being mills being smashed by esterhuizen, when we normally switch inside to Bassett, or put odogwu away.
It obviously didn’t help when your captain is making big errors-kicking out on the full.
CMK dealt with our moaning very well, Oghre is by far the worst culprit and really doesn’t endear himself to refs- pointlessly calling that the ball was out. Ironically he conceded a pen when it wasn’t out and he went to get it.
Quins made few mistakes, but really think we have better options for fb than umaga. Interestingly, he hasn’t been in the team during this time.
Onwards…top 4 was very optimistic, top 8 probably more realistic.
My biggest concern is that we rely on big plays from our gun players, rather than team tries.
