The EA's played well. I guess it's easier when - somehow - you can leave two regular SR/8's out of the 23 and still have 4 regular England squad players in your starting pack....Not that I have any suspicions....
Tigers made a clear error ins thinking they could bring the replacements on in their pack after HT but somehow didn't seem to gauge their task. And they really didn't play the officials well.
They probably are going to be difficult to stop but any club that can start when they are at full strength, Mako, George, Nick I. Maro, Earl and Billy are not going to struggle much....That's before you look at the backline. International 10, centres and back three.......Still - must be within the cap...
And yes, I know I sound resentful...
