The lineout went OK - lost 1 on our own throw. Fainga'a was good in his role, and Simmons mixed it up well I thought. He was not as dynamic elsewhere as Carter, but I was happy enough with him. Horwill made a good impact too.Just one criticism of a starting player.......
I'm not sure if Simmons justified his instant return to the starting lineup tonight.
Our line out was fairly average, and he wasn't as good as Horwill last week, or Carter tonight.

Was Quade the only one from the bench who didn't get on?
I would have liked to see him get some playing time.
Horne didn't either and I wonder if we would've had a different outcome if he was there at the end instead of Tomane.

We "handed them the game" by not being capable of stopping them from a 22m lineout with a minute to go. It could have been the same outcome if their penalty kick had gone out. The box kick was a shit kick but there was ample opportunity after that to stop them scoring the try.
Where they win the lineout and maintain possession until they score.
This no kicking run from anywhere game plan doesnt work, it means you get to the last 10 and your out on your feet. If your not fit enough..
We're not fit enough
