Been a bit unlucky with ref but won't make much difference if Saints cannot hang onto the ball.
Leicester look like ***le contenders on this form, best I've seen them play in years.

Tigers are just being handed the ball time and time again. 10 turnovers and 12 handling errors is shocking but then we haven't played and it shows.

Seabrook has been solely responsible for 14 point turnaround. Got sat down for Cracknell try not getting a hand on him, then when got ball in space for classic try stepped inside instead of pinning his ears back and going for it. If it was a forward there I'd understand not backing yourself and not wanting to get isolated but he's a winger, surely you go? Not only that when he stepped inside he got isolated anyway and gave away penalty for holding on.
Who's the back 3 cover if he were to be hooked?

No back three cover on the bench (not even sure anyone else is fit to be on the bench).
Saints have constantly had one out forward runners making no ground running into a set defence. Really poor tactics.
Seabeook again being shite.

Pollock is not someone I want on in a tight game at test level currently. He's not got the headspace for it yet

I was just scrolling twitter and saw TNT's account waxing lyrical about the impact he's had off the bench, so went and checked the score to see how the comeback was going...

Gifted Tigers a TBP by trying to tap and go from 5m out his try line

He had been doing great off the bench. Yes, that was a very bad option but doesn't mean he's not cut for test level. Very different situation to a tight game.
Leicester super impressive though, almost a perfect game.

I'm not saying he's not cut out for test level though
But a tight game on the line where it has meaning and I wouldn't trust him not to do something stupid. Ego is great for backing yourself but you got to know when it's on and when it's not

Agreed. It's a maturity thing. Right now he thinks he can take on the world and his two tries against Wales have probably inflated his ego even more. If it's harnessed in the right way, that kind of fearlessness is useful. OTOH, that tap and go decision highlights how it can go wrong …
Still. He's a way off being in the tight games for England yet. Plenty of time to mature.

I can't really moan at pollock for trying something when we were 23 points behind and only a short time left.
He showed more fight and skill than the rest of the back row combined.

Well, that was embarrassing, wasn't it ?
As you say, at least Pollock added something when he came on.
