5 point win but did their best to give it away, again Sam Edwards unused, should have been comfortable win and a prem debut for Edwards given the state of the game at HT

We seem to be well off the pace and standard we saw last season.

Remy time.

Nearly did a Wales. Tommy the Turnover excellent.
I don't know what Cracknell was supposed to do? Let the bloke score I guess....but I'm SURE Austin tipped the TMO off. I do wish he'd belt up.

Plenty to work on. 30mins of power and 30mins of day dreaming and 10mins of luck. poor decision making from 9 and 10. Pack need more concentration on not giving away penalties and responding quicker to what is in front of them.

LI need a pack to match their backs. Their 7 is looking good. If crackers had been on their team or Jasper not being so controlled and powerful we could have lost that.

International call ups to of some players who made their name last season. Plus some big losses and changes of personell have got to affect the cohesion of the team.

Tigers seem off the pace, I know there are various disruptions due to lack of games and people being away, but they just seem clueless at times. Perhaps they need Ford to provide the focus and decision-making on the field.

The penalty count was dreadful, many just stupid in positions where there was no threat, gave LI attacking positions on the field.

I think Ford may have been more influential than we realised at the time, both in game day and in training as we seem much much less coherent without him.

Any signs of Kelly or Dolly in and around the support team?

So we lose Ford, Genge and Moroni. Pollard is injured and Steward, Porter and JVP get call ups which ......although deserved....might be on the unexpected list?

I think its valid.

Plus we've been robbed of game time because of the Wasps and Worcs demise . We're not the team we were last season. Literally.
