One of my concerns is Lilo's work against a rush defense We need to stay flat and trust the systems, not get deeper and deeper

But there are many different ways to win that forward battle

We looked at our best last week when we could increase the pace of the game, I fail to see the logic of suggesting players who don't work within that model. We will never beat England going up the middle, we need movement and pace to get the mismatches

but not the SMH's spin with Dwyer

Yeah I find it a bit embarrassing, I would prefer the spin being Cole was smarter and did X and Y, unfortunately Sio couldn't adapt, but this is the type of things he should do next time

whereas the ABs work much harder to give the ball receiver options, workrate off the ball is the key, that gives the receiver options and that puts doubt in the minds of the chasers

Cole did very well didn't he? Good scrummaging

Some tough questions Is Sio benched? would Slipper deal better with Cole's set up? Do we swap Kepu for Holmes? Holmes did OK, but Kepu adds more running threat Will Simmons be healthy? Who replaces Pocock? So we had Fardy & Hooper playing wide for the next ruck and Pocock on the ball (a...

But if we had just been more accurate and given away less that a million penalties Farrell wouldn't have had all those opportunities to keep them in the game

But they weren't the reason we lost, they didn't help, but they are just another 1%'er to add to the long list

3 Hooper 2 Phipps 1 Foley

Surprised to see the Reds bolting together a pretty solid side with no coach in place

I just wonder who he replaces and what that does to the lineout balance. I would expect Fardy to be replaced and having lineout options Horwill, Mumm & McMahon to "finish"

I think the game plan will be about speed to clear at the breakdown and playing with the ball at pace in attack The Pooper will be really about giving our defense the time to re-set and stay aligned

Fox stated that Rob Horne is a vice captain!, well done lad

Often it is about workrate to give the playmaker the options. Horne is a good example, he runs that inside line a lot from the blind wing, he may only get the ball once a half, but his continual efforts help lock the inside backs and backrowers in place so they can't dirft

My only concerns with Kerevi are his efforts off the ball aren't up to scratch, hopefully he is on

Happier to see Folau at 15, 12 is too close to the action and he is better in those wider channels, I can see DHP pivoting arround to 15 on attack with Folau having a roving commission

I thought reports had 5. Launchberry 6. Itoje Happy to see Farrell at 10

It appears Arnold with have that "Douglas" role. I can see the logic in that We will need to dominate the advantage line on attack by accurate farken aggressive cleanouts. This isn't against a side that will not commit and fan out at each ruck like the majority of Super Rugby sides
