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

                  So chop a few office and grass roots staff for good ol' Mitch?

                  "If they believe John Mitchell is a better defence coach than me then good luck to them," Sean Edwards soon to be ex Wales defence coach. Touche!

                    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!

                      Is Mitchell also in charge of defence at the Bulls?

                        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.
