I don’t mind these changes - mix of enforced and getting a look at players ahead of two (arguably) tougher games, Skelton gets to start and has plenty of minutes to impose himself on the game (unlike from the bench as he had to under Rennie). Uru seems like a good fit to make up for Skelton’s...

Just not holding onto players in defence is criminal… look like a training run where is the aggression

This is going to be a weekend of the kiwis just bullying us isn’t it

What’s with the weird plays on the blues tryline - get the maul going!

Unique player, reminds me a bit of Tom Croft the England flanker

I would love to have Lancaster - being at Leinster he’s the head of one of the best talent pipelines in world rugby

honestly just have a semi pro competition, maybe joint with NZ, maybe three super rugby teams, central contracts for players, share players around the teams, and have one plan for how each team is coached.

Watching live at the ground you can just tell how panicked and rudderless we are.

I was holding on till now to say this, but it’s now clear sacking Rennie has been an unmitigated disaster. Hamish McLennan should be sacked

This is ugly. Need to see some improvement or it’s a mark against Eddie tbh. He was meant to deliver instantly - he doesn’t get the same benefit of the doubt as rennie

I recall Eddie picked out Jack Nowell as his ‘hybrid’ forward/back when he was England coach. Never played him in the forwards once. Hope he doesn’t play around with kemeny like he did with a few guys when he was England coach

11. Koro 15. Kellaway 14. Petaia/Nawaqanitawase

Wright has that habit of trying to redeem mistakes with more and more outlandish things, which just then spirals

Luke Reimer to be in the squad? Most physical and best breakdown 7 in Australia

Rebolo looks alright
