[QUOTE="martinspoonboy1, post: 988114, member: 59577"] Positives from the weekend: The scrum has continued to be a weapon. Granted an inexperienced French front row and then Scotland may not be the toughest tests in the tournament but it was good to see we are having the edge in that area as it was missing in the WC. Ofcourse very blatantly in the final. The lineout in horrendous conditions functioned relatively well. Bringing Lawes on at 6 seemed to be the right move in this scenario (although I don't like him starting there) and gave us another option as a target and a disruptor. Despite playing 8 and clearly feeling a responsibility to carry more in heavy traffic, Curry was still able to do his bread and butter at the breakdown. Had a very good game . Ofcourse, I'd be starting Dombrandt there but hey ho, not a bad showing at all. Johnny May continues to prove himself as world class. The standout yesterday was clearly under the high ball. Can't remember him putting one down. That part of his game has come on insanely over the past 2 seasons. Still baffles me how much he has improved. Yes, there were a lot of negatives, decision making and execution when kicking was horrible , there wasn't any attacking shape (partly because it wasn't a day to be throwing it around) but in a game where pundits were saying you can't take anything from the game apart from the 'W' I thought there was a fair amount of good on show.
