Worryingly we're now on our 3rd loosehead of the game and I'm guessing 18 is normally a TH so this could get interesting

17 is now on, as he was at HT at Fe'o was HIA. Whoever he is, his scrummaging is poor

Well we lost that game because of Joe Ford, I thought Olowefela was a bit poor actually, Tuilagi and Mapapalangi nearly rescued the game for us but oh well.

Not sure how any back can play outside Joe Ford, he takes the ball standing still and so deep.

Mapapalangi yes Tuilagi no.

The problem is the same with our seniors without Manu we had no one to draw defenders in the midfield and our wingers got no space.

2 playmakers at 10/12 only works if 13 is an attacking threat.

A serious blow to lose our best player. That :censored: plastic carpet. So many serious injuries on it.
Callum Clark was his usual cheap shot merchant.
He should have been banned for life. It shows what a :censored: club they are to sign this thug.
A life long Tiger

Ford is the problem he offers no running threat and just ships the ball on , as a result 12 and 13 are easy targets :smt009 :smt009 :smt009

I would like to see a close up of what Clark did, it was a cheap shot and ref made a passing comment to him about foul play. From the limited views we had it looked to me as if he was trying to break someones back! Did TMO see it or Citing Officer? :smt018

Smith is a easy target as is.

Would rather see
10. Hardwick
11. Thompstone
12. Worth
13. Owen
14. Aspland-Robinson
15. Olowofela

Where was SAR?

By the way, Joe Ford should never be let near the first team ever again. I hope Murphy will see his senses during the Autumn.

The midfield of White,Ford,Hardwick ,Smith was simply too slow ,too lightweight and too predictable .I also was a bit underwhelmed by Olafowa - a bit too laid back for me. The plus points were that Wells was excellent and Mapalangi and Tuilagi did well when they came on . The starting backrow was truly men against boys .
