[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 894777, member: 73144"] Ah Borthwick. When he was captain, many people, me included, felt he didn’t have the gravitas for the role. Similarly a lot of us said at the time he was appointed that his coaching credentials were pretty lightweight. He’s a self confessed line out geek, maybe it’s his over focus there that’s led to the failed 3 locks experiment. Who knows? It’s right to acknowledge that Bothwick et al were in place during the winning run. But it’s also right to say that the sign of real quality in both players and coaches is how they respond to adversity. In Paris there was no response and let’s face it, well as both Sco and Fra played, neither are more than decent. Ire are on a different level. This weekend’s a massive test for players and staff alike. Another disorganised defeat may have some interesting repercussions. [/QUOTE]
