[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1137002, member: 73144"] I’d almost rather he’d gone back to Japan. Cheika and Jones combining to send us home in the group stages would be delicious. Can’t read much into that in itself. Most of our big guns, such as they are, weren’t playing. George (wrap him in cotton wool), Itoje, Chessum and Lawes will make the line out look very different for one. Ludlam looked about the only one with any real energy or fight. Fair play to him, but he was standing out in a swamp of mediocrity. Pro players shouldn’t make the number of individual mistakes we saw yesterday. That’s not a coaching thing, but maybe symptomatic of a scratch team plus the pressure of some players thinking they were still fighting for a spot and some realising there’s a huge jump from the comfortable familiarity of the Prem. Let’s see what the next few weeks brings. All yesterday did was add further fuel to fire that the coaching team isn’t having any kind of impact. [/QUOTE]
