Pretty much every kick but sirs are letting them get away with it
Yep. The winger steps across Steward's running line which creates the half second gap for the fullback. Can't believe it wasn't even looked at.

We haven’t , as Eddie suggested we would, “set Twickenham alight”.

It does but it's usually a bit more subtle than that! That was blatant even in real time.

To be fair, he didn't used to at Baaarf, which is why I was initially hesitant with his return (he used to hide at the back like Smith has been doing)

The difference between at Baaarf and Tigers was so stark though that I think someone might have had a quiet word over the summer and said "you're a Tiger, you tackle" - he has been a completely different player since he pulled that Tigers shirt back on

I was proven wrong though - take you back in a heartbeat George! Still the best English flyhalf in England (yes I know he is injured before some smartarse says something 🤦‍♂️)
