For all the good things he has done, Marcus Smith's decision making has been questionable on a few occasions today

Scary stuff from Smith.

I can’t wait to see how Jamie George is looking at full time.

The last two ‘mistakes’ were a preplanned move going nowhere and a hail mary on advantage.
The KAGADs I’ll give you… and then he puts in a great little touch finder.

Smith with the GAME MANAGEMENT!

Those aren't the only instances. He ran down a few blind alleys in the first half when passing down the line was open to him

Could really do with some dynamism from the bench, but who? Rodd or Sleightholme isn’t quite what I was thinking. Why have Sleightholme if we’re scared to use him though.

Too many soft yards

Sorry, just assumed by the timing of your post that was what you were referring to.
Agreed but that’s his game - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, but when it does... Don’t pick him if that’s not what you want. And I can understand not wanting it.

Next to zero chance we win this. Even if we get close the ref will find a way to give them a soft dubious penalty to give them the chance they need.

The “All Blacks” aura at work…

Well, Freddie fucked that up.

How to give away a match at the moment…

Steward's lack of pace is showing.

Baxter flies in and takes Maro's man and leaves Freddie with a 2 on 1 in 20m.

+1. Get Ollie on and put Freeman or Slade to 15

Another fucking grubber.

Fckin shyte kicking. Ridiculous stuff

Fin Smith has not been good since coming on. Ford a very large miss.

IFW had just made a tackle infield on the previous phase. Steward misread the situation badly. Needed to tread water not rush up.
Probs a try anyway but def a try once he charged up to man mark fresh air.

68 minutes for Baxter. Crazy.

And turning like an oil tanker.

Masterclass in stupidity at the moment

I’ve always hated Steward.

Aarrgghh. I hate the head tapping bs.

Has Fin put weight on?

Berry just having no control over the scrum and taking up everyone's time. It'll be last play in a minute!
