Well and truly.

I'm unsure why we persist with TPN he's been shocking since he came on. Get Kerr in there.

Unless the Coaches go immediately, we are toast.

Kerr was just as bad vs Saints

We haven't lost this game because of Sir or the TMO, we have lost because we cannot play 80 minutes of good Rugby.

True but you're investing learning opportunities in a player that could be here for the next 10 years.

this is a false narrative when they give penalties to one side through TMO intervention but not the other then they are having a material effect on the game, is it all their fault no, but they are a contributory factor that frankly needs looking at as it seemed like blatant bias not one TMO intervention in favour of Tigers, he either needs to shut up until asked all game or do it for both sides.


That said 3 tries by HT and getting 0 match points is pathetic

Nah Kerr was awful v Saints, and think Polota-Nau was the right call.

That being said Polota-Nau was bad but the weather condition was terrible.

Honestly disappointing, we deserved at least a point.
But much better performance in a match I was expecting a whitewash like the Irish and Saints games.

At least Wasps lost.

Lavanini, Taufua, Ford, Reid, Tuilagi, May, Veainu did well.

Difference was how the coaches handled the game at 50 minutes.
Baxter played his cards, Murphy tried to bluff to the last minute and then used it.
Once the rain hit Baxter knew what to do, fresh legs in heavy rain are better than tiring legs.

I have some hope about next week though.
