[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 1118126, member: 34990"] I don't think so, tbh. There's enough foreign/international players in the Prem that you can get a good barometer of comparative skill levels I do think we have an issue of passion/commitment as a side - we regularly look worse than the sum of our parts and never seem to have games where we look really "up for it"/driven etc We go out, lose without much of a whimper, wheel out the cliches in the press, do the same thing the next week. No bite, no backlash etc. Our players always look much better for their clubs than at international level - and that's down to the core skills level, not just better setpieces/attack structures etc Our defence is the best in the league, but the RFU let Wales pinch our coach from under their nose 🤷♂️ Bet he was significantly cheaper than Sinfield [/QUOTE]
