these kicks need to find the turf and we are putting too much distance on them and not giving any support to the kick receiver when they kick to us

15 mins of errors, poor kicks and general poor play. Made it easy so far for Sarries.

Really think Burns and Saumaki have been bad calls considering the conditions, Steward and Potter would be far more secure

Sarries winning the kicking battle. It feels that we are trying to play their game so far. With 4 lineout options to their two it feels we'd be much better looking for touch when kicking in the 22, then challenge the lineout.

I really rate Rotmi Segun, he's got a really rounded game.
