OMG calm the fuck down. We haven't played in an age. We're playing a team who are all about the razzle. We've scored 43 in the first half not playing well still trying to find out feet. They're working things out. Relax.
Glad you think this is setting us up well for the next three games. I don't, this is dire rugby, and shit defending. We'll lose the next 3 unless things change and fast

You are jumping at shadows if you think we will play like this against England. And thatβs without mentioning the weather conditions and pitch condition that will be nothing like this match.
Itβs funny, these are the games that I donβt like DMac in because he gets a bit like an over excited school kid with $10 at the dairy. Thinks he can buy all the lollies in the shop but yet still needs to make good decisions because itβs still just $10β¦.
He needs to show some leadership out there and control the game. A good opportunity to do so in the second half with the result pretty much concluded.

Attack good. Defence abysmal.
Its not being treated with the respect it deserves. Everyone is flinging it around with gay abandon.
Darry and Sititi have been the only ones ive noticed, take contact and reset shit ball.

Fuck wake up boys. Weβll get done by the better teams if we turn up like this.

We won't turn up like this. Whether we like it or not these games are about entertainment and are basically 'friendlies' (I hate that word!)

Get Rieko back out on the wing and leave Billy Proctor at 13.

Tbh with how crap we started it is impressive how many points we can score in a short amount of time. 43 in 30 mins, especially playing without wingers.
Our offense is a step above from previous years.
Pffft, they got smoked at home by Fiji and Italy.
Japan can't tackle.

Ok. And Englands TOP team (who are probably the 5th best team in the world currently) only put 50 on them, while we could hit 70-80 with a B team.
We're beating the clock currently and people are pissed it's quite astounding

Be tempted to leave Roigard on for as long as possible. Looks a bit slow and rusty - needs as much game time as possible

Wouldn't say I'm personally pissed myself, but I'm not fooled by what I'm seeing either against crap opposition.
A fixture we're learning nothing from.

@African-Monkey thats the thing, cant be fooled by a big score, similarly by messy play given the way these games are played...we are shite and score too few or it was too easy and we score too many

Curious... what ARE your thoughts on the wing/centre situation?

It's the quick taps that are probably annoying me the most. I'd ather we at lest try to play more structured and to the set piece more in the 2nd half.
