Sad but true. Just lacking any energy and fight. Bar Kata has any other player played well this season. Reffell, for Wales but not us. Can’t think of anyone else.

Would love to know what we do in training EVERY week.

Gone backwards in every aspect of the game this season. Scrum, lineout, you name it we’re worse now than we were six months ago.

Really could go either way. Kata off the bench could make a big difference!

Pollard smashing people like a flanker!

Game on!

Whitcombe not starting is just nonsensical now. As for playing Kinder on the wing, normally I would be all for it, possibly the easiest position to translate age group to senior rugby, weather good...but the opposition FH is probably the best tactical kicker in the sport. As for hooker it will be i...

Interesting perspective. I think the league is definitely more competitive having sadly been reduced to 10 teams. But that isn’t surprising given that plenty of talent from LI, Wasps and Worcester bolstered other teams strength in depth. But he’s right about the traditional rivalries, especially us ...

Well he's starting against Georgia Fear I’ve kicked a hornets nest with my Whitcombe comment! I would like to see how he goes in a first choice front row, then we can make a more informed comment. Hope he goes well on Friday. It's a fair comment. Our LH props have all had decent (if unspectacular) ...

Gotta be starting Wilkinson at 10 for me. He’s a good player and we need to show some faith in him. Manz has been kept on too so let’s see what he can do. Probably worth playing Rogerson and Basset if they’re fit to get them back on the pitch and minutes under their belt.

Agree about Kelly. Think he looks a little lost at 13, but at 12 his handling comes into play more which is actually massively underrated. Everyone bangs on about Dingwall but I actually think Kelly is a better passer. Really liked him in the secondary playmaker role. Think we need to accept that wi...

I know Socino and Muri didn’t play loads that season - but how much do you think they were adding every day on the training pitch. Bags of experience and seemed like people who’d get other people raring to go. Saumaki too, hardly played but when he did was a deadly finisher. You look at the backs to...

I thought Dan Palmer came highly rated but he massively needs to sort the scrum out for next season. It’s so inconsistent and the replacement front row always seem to leak penalties regardless of who comes on. Hope we get a new S&C coach too. The longer matches go on for the more our levels drop...

I mean you take the first 40 minutes against Saints and 70 minutes today and we look good, especially when it comes to shutting down other teams. Positives I thought Kelly at 12 probably had his best game of the season. Martin too was massive and the best carrier on the pitch. Chessum too very good....

We are a much more balanced side when he plays at 12.

He’s really good at secondary receiver too which just means the whole backline looks so much better.

Agree, actually embarrassing that to happen to your vice captain.
