[QUOTE="Zed, post: 802596, member: 38503"] Haylett-Petty was on the run running right to left, Haskell faked left and then stepped right, very little anyone can do in that position plus it was a good step. Perhaps if he'd be static he would have more chance of nailing him. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Some random musings from last nights game: Yup I agree. The England defence was relatively weak or was made to look that way by the likes of Folau. That's an area they need to improve on. I felt every time we got down there we were going to score. And like you said they need strike runners. They didn't really have any backs that looked that dangerous. I liked Yarde, but he seemed to be lacking a bit in power considering his size.
