Huge disappointment- they thought this lot were the biz

Very disappointing. I’ve got to level a decent amount at the coaches who I think have poorly selected this year, both squad and team selection.

The forwards seem to have a lot going for them but the back division just seems far from settled and unable to control the game or find any real fluency. The coaches have to take some flak for that because it's the same issues we had in the 6N and their answer then was Bellamy at 15 to assist Coen at 10 and it didn't work well then and isn't working well now.

At least there's some stellar backs going to be available for the under 20s next season when some of these lot are moved on. Hopefully we'll have some similarly good forwards to give them a platform.

There you have it. Half back is obviously an issue but the forwards at times couldnt construct a driving maul and got easily turned over post tackle.

Not had one for a while. It’s my age

That deserved more

There’s some very good forwards coming through, like Patrick Hogg and Jonno Balding, but players like Tayo Agbemile who didn’t play this year.

Some stellar backs coming through. Davies has another year and Linegar will battle him for the 10 shirt. Lads like Winters are also super talented.

We've got two matches left and where we finish will have an impact on the type of group we next next year.

Finishing 1 - 3 are top seeds. They'll likely be SA, France and NZ.
4 - 6 next, but position four goes into the group with the team that finishes 3rd.

Best we can finish is 5th, in which case we'd be in a group with the losing finalist.

Use Brave browser instead of Chrome (who have now fully disabled uBlock like the money grubbing cunts they are) or an app.

Pretty convincing win after a shaky start. Jack Bracken just continues to look like an exceptional talent! Calouri has all the raw materials but is still quite immature decision making wise. But the. He’s still a school kid.

Ran away with after h/t. Looked pretty sharp at times.
