TBH I think that despite the scoreline there were still plenty of faults.
Certainly there were too many penalties given away at the breakdown especially by certain forwards flopping over the ball – a feature of their play that isn’t necessary.
The defence isn’t exactly rock solid – too many scrambling defences for my mind for a 64 point margin. Quite a few missed first tackles.
So how is the test team developing?
I’d put forward Byrne, Bowe, BOD, Roberts, 11, S Jones, Philips for the backs based on the first two games. At 11 neither Shane or Monye has convinced me, and I’d also like to see Fitzgerald and Halfpenny play first. But I’d also like to have Kearney on the field somewhere, hmmm.
Forwards: Front row from last night, POC, AWJ, Croft, Heaslip, M Williams.
Bring on the Cheetahs – should be another win as they were less than impressive in the Super14.
