The existing back row players O'Connor, Kalamafoni and Thompston are good enough and probably as good as he is as individuals.

We just aren't a team and haven't been for several years.
That back row seems decent until you compare it to the other back rows in the Premiership. Kalamafoni particularly, works hard but where would you rank him against his peers?

Is he better than any of these:

Faletau
Vunipola
Simmonds
Hughes
Morgan
Luamanu
Nagusa
Brussow
Strauss

It's fine saying X is a good player, but that's not good enough if almost everyone else has better.
Remember the days when we had amongst others Back, Kronfeld, Moody and Corry.

We've outclassed them first half. Only 40 to go.....

We appear to be...erm...well...for want of a better word, winning so far.

Unusual. I could get used to it.

Genuinely hope this is the real start of the GM era!

Perfect result with the TBP to boot - wasn’t there so keen to hear from those that went on the performance and the players that stood out today.

Great scenes!

What a massive difference attacking the line at pace makes!
Take enough of your own chances and defence partly sorts itself out, not perfect but rarely is anything!
Job done!

Can’t believe Dan Cole nearly got a try, but my word Holmes first was absolutely sublime.
