[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 630328, member: 57076"] Overall the tournament has got to be seen as a big failure but with a few asterisks ultimately. A bit of luck, but not as much as ppl are saying, helped us beat England, a team that would've went on to win the Grand Slam very likely. We blew a big lead and had to count on an incredible last minute clutch play to beat them. And we managed a fine effort against Ireland. We scored 2 tries on them, when nobody did more than 1, and it obviously really should've been 3 no discussion and a win, but hey...PapÃ© happened. In light of this last game, I actually feel alright going to Australia for a 3-test series. Let's not forget we didn't nearly have a first choice third row against Ireland, and Fofana and Fritz are to return. Hopefully we get a more specialized winger than MÃ©dard this time. And in the future, I think we should try out different Looseheads. Domingo was possibly the best scrummager in the world, or at least Top 3 on the left side, but he's actually getting penalized at scrumtime these days. Given he doesn't help a whole lot in the loose, he's just a liability. We've definitely lacked from having a guy a bit like M.Vunipola or Healy who help out in the loose too. Domingo is just basically a scrummager. [/QUOTE]
