Billy up front, Steward behind. The rest are somewhat short of optimal.
Hopefully we can improve.

its systemic problems, compounded by missed tackles imo Greenwood nailed it- wrong system for this attack.
Him missing a straight on one on one with Korobeite (I think) where there was no massive step etc, was just a bad miss. Nothing to do with the system. Same with Smith getting repeatedly run over, and even having Lolesio (sp?) just throw him away with no momentum.
Porter’s feet are too slow in tight spaces in d.

If only there was a more experienced 13 who is more competent at running a defence on the tour…
On an unrelated note, I wonder if Marchant is having a nice Saturday

And despite that Farrell looks the best FH out there, whilst Steward is running Koboite close for MOTM

Regardless of who is playing well and who isn’t… it’s all a huge step down on NZ v Ireland.

Its both systemic and bad misses, and sometimes one leads to he other. Greenwoods analysis was spot on.

Ref got that wrong on Chessum, who’d been put through a gap by Smith playing on the gain line…
