I watched the whole second half hoping we'd lose. We were clearly second best today. The fact is none of us are surprised we lost at last, it's been coming a long time. Eddie really has to have a long hard think about this, we've been stinking the place out at times this year. It's so frustrating that he won't have a look at players that just might help things. Has anyone got an answer to the question of why he's so obsessed with playing all these locks instead of flankers?
I think it's more than likely that Eddie will just stick to his guns and just work the players even harder. He may well even just put exactly the same team out due to his stubborness. There's certainly not gonna be a revolution.
Oh, and having listened to the pre match build up for the first time in ages, I won't be doing that again. The Faz jizz fest from the Beeb was just revolting to listen to.
This, all this.

With Beastie and Banquo.
As ratings go, thought Robshaw our best player by a country mile.
Otherwise, seeing our 9 crab across the pitch before handing May a hospital pass right on the touch line sums it up nicely.
On the upside do like the cut of Underhill's jib.

I am so glad I managed to miss that. I got home from walkies sometime during the Ireland Wales match, watched it as-live, forwarding through the half time, and wandering around working out how scrums work; finished that just as the Scot's anthem was playing

I thought he was okay toady, and that was on the high side of our performances in this match
Btw, it's only 10.30pm, time seems to have slowed watching the game

Another high missed tackle count and he is one game away from being nailed for his swinging arm/shoulder tackling.
That said he had a punch up in the tunnel, landed his kicks and on scoring his try kissed Hoggs boots

Not much point being feisty if you're in the bin or if the ref thinks you're being a dickhead and the 50/50 calls go against your team.
Liam Williams and Mikey seem to understand this....Farrell and biggar not so much.
I'd give launch a 10 and robshaw a 9. Maro and CGS were asleep.

I'll amend that, they weren't asleep, they were looking in shock at how they were being outplayed. That's not sarcasm, it does happen.
Tom Rees wrote an article about the first time he played against Nugget. It's worth having a look.
