        That highlights all the fears I have.

          so MItchell is now English...IIRC his teams were never that great defensively, always decent attacking.

                  Mitchell seems to give off the vibe (to most NZ fans of a certain age) that he's faking it.

                  What are the Bulls like on defence?
                  I've been to https://sanzarrugby.com/superrugby/competition-stats/ but they are a pretty hopelessly incomprehensive set of stats.

                  The most relevant set of stats I could get from there to assess team defence is Team Tackle % won. Where Bulls are 14th out of 15 in the comp.

                  There's not even a category in that hopeless site for tries conceded!

                      probably not.

                            @bovidae possibly not, but if your side's defence is a bit shit, the head coach would (should) probably take a more active role.

                            @Rapido

                            not sure if this is any better

                                  Β£2000 fine Β£250 compensation is what he has got. He will now get a call from Eddie saying don't bother showing up for the next Eng camp.
