[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1123887, member: 73144"] No panicking, but last year we lost to: Sco (away) by 3. Ire (home) by 17 despite playing virtually the whole game with 14 Fra (away) by 12. Aus (away) by 2. But won the series Arg (home) by 1 RSA (home) by 14. So that’s aggregate defeats in 6 games of 49 points. Yesterday was a 43 point hammering. We might not have been very good under Jones, but at least we were broadly competitive. The NZ game should have been another defeat, but we showed the type of fight that was nowhere to be seen yesterday. A competitive effort against Ire and we might look at yesterday as an aberration. Another shellacking and you have to wonder. The available players are pretty much unchanged. And we’re not really a team of kids either (especially up front) which is what Fra invested in to give them a great shot at their own RWC. [/QUOTE]
