All irrelevant if we can’t win the battle/gain parity in the forwards.
Agreed, to an extent but our kicking is so bad when we get the ball that we are constantly having to win it back. If we kicked less and better, we would not be so exposed in the forward arm-wrestle.
The scrum needs sorting now the ref has decided everything is our fault.
So, you want to sort our kicking out by taking off our best kicker?

2 accurate passes and you’ve have been round the outside there. Instead you got 2 shit ones. Basic skills.

Boks rolling the subs early. Dominate before we go uncontested.

Mako stuffed that time, but it’s the power coming through we aren’t matching

I would quite like to see a pen for crawling along the ground after the tackle has been made.
Me too. Haven’t been given in years though, unless you try to score a try at the end of crawling, then it’s double movement.
I think that what attacking teams are doing on the ground after the tackle has become an issue in general in the last few years.

Injury to Sinckler has been a disaster.

Iceman needs to get his team going. It's now or never Owen. You may even be rated on Rugby Rebels if you do.

How tf did Garces conclude that was pen to SA at that scrum? Staggering.

Agreed. We are losing in every facet of the game. Jones has to change something.

You can’t win from here. I hope Owen goes full red-face and just plum smacks Faf right in the snozz.
