If we are to lose just make sure we get something out of it!

The difference in the rolling mauls. Today ours is not so much rolling as stuttering.

Too quick to kick the ball away and offloads (loosest sense) seem to be panicked and when there's nothing else to do.

Everything is looking rushed and on the hoof. Just got back to some simple rugby. Carry hard and support the man. Just like at the start of the second half.

Absolute rubbish, LI conceded 8 penalties in a row yet two missed kicks to touch and now we’re on the back foot again.

Terrible all round,ref or not. It’s a deserved loss and with 0 points to come next it puts us back under immediate pressure

Has Bonilla actually kicked a rugby ball before?

The rot still runs deep. There is some infection that needs rooting out

So things we learnt.
1. Back row needs balance where Taufua is a 6/7 Brink is a 6/8.
2. Porter should currently start IMO centres or wing
3. Taute and the defence are still prone against a fast 13.
4. Bower might be a solid 4th choice but isn't a starter.

You really need a 7 in the league now with the current breakdown laws.
