Shockers for both Bonilla and Clare.
The choice to replace Tom Youngs has a really poor one. He seemed to be leading the forwards. Once he went off we started to look rudderless up front.

Bonilla was woeful sadly. The Scott/Taute midfield didn't work (again). Porter/Taute worked last weekend. I'd like to see Scott/Porter again.

We did more than enough to win that game, inaccuracies killed us. We've got to get that clinical edge back.

Absolute rubbish, aimless kicking, no passion or desire. Murphy has to go!!
If you don't go in hard it's not a tackle it's an insult.

Because we were losing, needed a score at the time to get a bonus point.

Sometimes it looks like they don't want to win. Basic errors at key points, that's what good coaching is supposed to be about. It's been the same for a long while now.
Defence was :censored:, attacks just brake down because of poor play, stupid errors and :censored: decision making.
Constant kick game is rubbish...

I’ll give him more time, but there is an awful lot of Ramiro Pez about him.

well that was every bit as bad as last week was good, key points for me

Bower doesn't look good enough
Brink is not a 7 and shouldn't ever be used there
The Lineout was pathetically inept all game if the calls haven't been changed they need to be if they have then what little training time we have a large chunk needs to ne allocated to the Lineout
Zach Henry's removal at HT was strange and Bonilla is a clear 3rd choice at this point
Reffel or Taufua MUST start at 7 as they balance out the back row



we need to show more patience, we opt to kick far too quickly

We were losing by more than 7 - LI getting a try would have meant nothing. We needed a try for A LBP. Simple equation really

Forwards better after half time. But the midfield backs were directionless and clueless

Should have kept Henry on. The missed touches realy hurt us. Having said that the line out win was no racing certainty.

If you want a long kick to touch why not let Steward do it? The one shining light in the backs..... Can he play 10?

Wigglesworth dissapointed. Kicks not on the money today.

Nothing changes! A 10 that can't find touch. The SA backrow absolutely ineffective. No direction, no structure, no idea and the Chiefs next week!!!

It would have resulted in a more disappointing scoreline. I’m sorry but unless we suddenly become the Harlem Globetrotters overnight, we were never in a million years gonna score a LBP try from our ‘22.

If we show the same lack of control against Exeter, we will get absolutely reamed.
Serious lack of game intelligence. Kicked the ball away way too much, but didn’t have the intensity to force them into errors. Just plain awful.
We didn’t even look close to scoring a try today, infact I don’t really recall us carving them open that much. Absolutely no cutting edge in the backs, we’re trying to rely too much on forwards grinding for yardage, but that’s energy sapping.
False dawn last week maybe....
