      Can we stop the BB slander and not forget that Proctor has been the reason for 10 of their points?

        Must be written into his contract at this point. Luckily he still does brilliant stuff on the side.

          A few more players should go to Ireland on Sabbatical rather than Japan it seems.

            Holland seems to go to ground a bit easily in the carry for me. Will keep an eye.

            As if its minute 79 and we are seeing the game out.

              There's a taco advert in that for "why not both".... 🙂

                Receiving a hospital pass and turning it into a try scoring movement is a little bit more than "on the side"

                    The praise and criticism of various AB players' performances definitely isn't provincially biased!

                      BP proving to be a bit low octane so far, but getting there.

                      The three locks and Taylor going great guns. CLW putting in a good shift too.

                        True , but he has 135 caps.

                        That sort of stuff just won’t fly in the big games.

                        It’s low percentage stuff.

                        It has to be called out. It’s fundamental.

                          Our loose trio playing pretty well. Each playing a distinct role.

                          Holland’s size and presence in the lineout is great to have.

                          We’ve created a lot of quick ball which has been pleasing. We haven’t always used it well but it means guys are working hard at ruck time.

                            I can’t overstate how much I prefer Reiko on the wing. Shame Proctor’s making a meal of it in the midfield.

                              Half time 21-13 to the ABs. Good game. France organised in defence and kick well. ABs strong on the pick and go, set piece and attacking shape. Some costly individual errors and lack of composure from the ABs but looking good overall.

                                Liking what the newbies are bringing, BB doing some good stuff then his dumb kicks...

                                I think Proctor sets too close to JB, giving an extra yard of space to the French.

                                Liking Ioane back at 11.

                                Need to hit them straight after the break and really let loose.

                                          So...

                                          Quite like what we're doing apart from the lack of patience. Just slow down a smidge. Go like fuck when it's on, but be patient ... like that last try.

                                          21-13. Reasonable reflection if not slightly flattering to France.

                                          Vaa'i misses one down the blind.

                                          Have we got a centre? Or was he the guy that waved in the Frog try?

                                          Holland is a fucking unit.

                                          Lineout good.

                                          Scrum good.

                                          Patience Grasshoppers, patience.
