[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 896675, member: 20956"] I mean considering the injuries we've had and just where we are in general as a team, if someone had said "you'll win your home games, but lose fairly narrowly away to England and Ireland with chances to win the game in the dying mins" then I'd have taken it. Not been a stellar tournament for us, but there's steps in the right direction for me. Though I agree with Mike in that the return to type vs France was a bit worrying, especially as the performance (despite the result) was very very poor. One worry for me is that when a refs interpretation of the rules hasn't suited us, we've struggled to adapt and it's cost us . There were large period where we simply couldn't get our heads round the way the breakdown was being reffed vs Ireland, Italy and France and it heaped pressure on us. It was frustrating to watch as a spectator (especially O'Keefe constantly breaking the game up on Saturday), but in recent years we've always dealt with it fairly well as a team full of quite street wise players. Will have to be something we work on, especially when the likes of Warburton come back into the squad. [/QUOTE]
