Aviva Premiership 16/17 - Round 4

[ncurd]

....it's not the loosing but the sheer lack of competitiveness. Better not do it next week otherwise I can go to work afterwards.

Worst defeat in 4 years merely 3 weeks after we win at Franklin Gardens for the first time in 16....God that was terrible.

Nice to see Ford having a laugh with Lenny.

The Tigers hand didn't touch the ball it hit watsons arm

Agreed, though it still looked shy of the line - far from pivotal though, simply beaten by the better team on the day.

It was just ****ing limp wasn't it, the whole thing. I was trying to work out what personnel/tactical changes would be needed to turn around, but realised that was all irrelevant, it was all about attitude. Defence encapsulated that - if you don't challenge for the ball, you have to defend aggressively with good linespeed, but we just sat back and let them run. And then got outflanked when they went wide. Literally every aspect of defence we sucked at today (and first half against Worcester)

Breakdown the main area of concern for me. A bit unlucky with the back row losses, but it's not only the back row that goes into breakdowns.

Sorry misread it.

Nah it's nice though IMO he had a poor game but it looks like he will put it behind him, although maybe it is just a led up for next season him and Youngs BFf reunited.

My man Crush on Mike Williams is only getting stronger.

That's how we felt after you royally humped us....none of the defensive ferocity we have shown in other games.

It does leave you wondering why...
