Not sure how we butchered that. Ball went wide to Smith with 1 man outside and about 5 Aus defenders.

using billy wider is the key, with care right on it. Enables time for smith and faz, with faz mostly as first receiver. Like it- need to finish now

We’ve managed to achieve that twice now.

Having a lot of heavy running threats is huge. Coka, Billy, Genge, Stuart, Steward, Nowell, Curry etc. They can all bump into contact well.

Why Tuilagi, Billy and Coka have all been picked regardless of form.

Someone needs to sit down Smith at half time and get his head round he's all over the shop at the minute. Poor decisions, bad passes it's not the Smith we know from the Prem.

Overall the team looks to have a decent balance. Just need to up the intensity a bit and be more clinical.

Someone needs to get Hill off the pitch, he's completely lost his head with that Aussie lock with the hair. He's slapped in the face, now grabbed his hair/ear and yanked his head back in the maul.

Well we almost lost our own ball but after 15 secs managed to scramble to back. Lucky, slow, underesourced… choose whichever you like.

And.. it's been spotted.

Yellow for idiocy

Reaction always be harsher punishment, but shouldn't be that harsh IMO
