Eng will look more direct and cohesive when JR & Ford get on.

As long as Shields stays on then we have every chance of taking the spoils
To be fair he is up with the play some of the time so there is a marginal improvement. I'd still bring Hughes on in his place though.
I'd bring Johnny Wilkinson's woolly hat on in his place

No. When Farrell makes an actually good pass, you should really be taking it.

Why don't the refs say when the ball is out more often?
Far too often we see 9s drag the ball back with their feet and it looks clear of the ruck or tackle, but the ref says nothing? Call it out and allow some competition for it.

Well that WAS good by Farrell. Not sure how he got his arms through that to allow the offload, but he did.

Let's spend the next10 minutes talking about that offload from Farrell - otherwise we might be told off for talking about his missed tackle on Folau, and penalty-try&card offence

If only we had a saviour on the bench we could bring on to galvanise the whole team, and eliminate the error count.
It can't be Hartley, as it couldn't have been him last week either...

Two consecutive poor kicks from Farrell and no mention.

It was a decent offload, and has been acknowledged as being just that by plenty of Farrell detractors (like myself), but still no mention of the mistakes.
Also, as offloads go, it was on par with Ford's last week

Blimey. We got lucky there. No cohesion, no shape, plenty of mistakes and then the big man lands a knockout blow with his pelvis.
