So hard to know what to do after that debacle.
The reality is that we don't have the depth to make wholesale changes and injuries are going to force us to compromise on some changes we may have made as well.
I expect Kerevi and Cooper will both start next week but beyond that it's anyone's guess.
Foley, Kuridrani, DHP all had absolute clangers that cost us tries.
The forwards were a bunch of powder puffs and the total number of missed tackles were inexcusable (22 by the forwards and 18 by the backs).
That's the issue isn't it, Cooper & Kerevi given they perform solidly won't have much of an impact on the outcome of the game with the other 12 players on the field playing like powder puffs conceeding the breakdown and missing shit loads of tackles.
How to fix the forwards?
I think we at least need to get rid of the Pooper to strengthen the set-piece. At least that is one area we can have competency in. Then we just need to work on attitude around the park and at the breakdown.
