Scrum apart, it wasn't actually too bad. We were good in the lineout, mostly good at the breakdown, apart from letting Sharpie down in support a couple of times, excellent in defence and a constant threat with the run and carry. Backs were very good I thought and really were a class above the opposition. We also got better as the game went on and never really looked like losing it in the second half.
However, that scrum needs fixing and fast. We are about to play against three very, very good scrummaging teams in the next three weeks and getting found out there will expose us badly. Saia, as much as I hate to say it, is not international class at present. He's too light and possibly not strong enough to scrum at the top level. Benny A is clearly not right yet either. He was having hells own trouble and any amount of good work he does around the paddock is being undone by the scrummage. That is his primary job, after all. Having Moore back next week will help, as he adds weight, technique and general hardness to the pack. I expect an improvement.
