French look hungry, we look like we went to sleep at half time
Week after week after week after week this happens.
Yeah, second half drop off isn’t a good look. One thing with Hansen’s teams is they always came out ruthless after half time… well, pre-Lions tour at least.

@Darth-Sader Rot appeared in 2017. Grew in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. Schmidt and Ryan made some of it disapppear, but lots of it is still there.
-
That’s what happens when too many fatties in the backline
-
Too many people there

Agree. The mental sharpness isn’t there. Unfortunately our flashy skills band-aid a lot of it.

TBF, the periods of shit and flaky play have been decreasing in the last few years.

That’s my Fullback.

Will bloody Jordan
-
Proctor did well not to get dragged over the line to be held up.
-
This forward pack looks the real deal
-
Couple of disappointing mistakes from the big fella in our 22.
-
Great D JB
-
@Victor-Meldrew Foster got a lot better as HC in his last eighteen months and Robertson is pushing things in the right direction. Not quite where we want to be, but a lot to be proud of.
-
Man we have some mental lapses in between some great stuff

What gives me hope is there is a good core of newer players coming through - Vaa’i, Roigard, Sititi.. alongside superstars like Jordan. I just hope Razor builds a core style of dominant forward play, whereas I fear he’s decided our point of difference is our high(er) skill level… leaving a soft underbelly
