Ford having a top individual game. Captaincy, needs a hand up front.

Much better exit. We still look shaky out wide.

I don't get what Daly is brining at FB other than his kicking which he has hardly used since going to 15. Just swap Watson and Daly and be done with it Eddie you stubborn git.

Watson? But he'd be even more inexperienced at FB. At least Dalympkayed there for a year or two when breaking into the wasps team!Freddo wrote:I don't get what Daly is brining at FB other than his kicking which he has hardly used since going to 15.

That take from Watson. Why won’t Bath play him at 15?!?!?

Now that was good defence, much better communication and energy.
Watson clearly showing why he should be 15.

Oh good, so we've progressed from 2 opensides to 2 locks at flanker.
Perfect
Maybe we will take 5 locks to Japan after all

Smart play. Bit unlucky to have two back row off, but we should have had at least one specialist back row on the bench.

Well. We’ve moved from four locks in the match day squad to four locks in the XV. Progress of sorts, I suppose.

Fair play the tackler though. Knew immediately, and tried to support - whilst I was shouting penalty for not releasing

Great kick, bit of pressure on that. Ford great so far imo, bar one kick.
