[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 985323, member: 73144"] Sorry, but heads going down because one of your better players goes off is U12 stuff. If that really was the case then it just adds to the already lengthy flaky charge sheet. This was the RWC final, possibly the only shot they’ll get at it and their heads went down because of an injury to a prop when the replacement had 90 caps of experience? I don’t really buy that TBH, we basically just got beaten up and I doubt Sincks would have made much difference. But mental hardness is part of the whole equation, and the toughest take a breath and respond positively to adversity. If you look back at the RWC we won 4 games we were expected to win easily enough. That’s fine and professional, but we only faced 2 real challenges and responded brilliantly and miserably in turn. The resilience and problem solving questions remain. I’ll come back to the whole size / carrying thing later. [/QUOTE]
