Not me.

Our top tackler today so far,but don’t let facts get in the way of a good story :smt023
Nothing going forward… Is what you want from your 8, ‘top of the tackle chart’? I’d like positive carries, men beaten, yards after contact.

What chances has he had to carry bar restarts for goodness sake!

Ludlam is nothing but aggressive… Ludlow and Martin both add more.

Dombrant has been poor… Ackerman and Simmonds offer far more.

JVP poor today.

Ford (when fit) over smith.
Simmonds doesn’t,just quick that’s it. Been shown consistently not good enough at this level. Now Mercer is a different conversation
If out of all that Simmonds not consistent is your issue… He has had zero opportunity for England but is a Lion. Dombrant struggle physically for club level. He just suits the style Quins play, hence Evans being attack coach

I would like to put it on record now that I don't think it'll make any difference.
Think the Tigers fitness coach might help as well!! England out on there feet, Dom and Ludlum look like plodding dinosaurs 🤣🤣

Ben Curry been good since coming on tbf. Nuisance at the breakdown and a good carry. Shown more than Willis. Chessum and Itoje fighting a losing battle but shown up well.

You’ve got some love in there. He has carried, but to what end. He is poor at this level, that is it. Good (at best) for club. Nothing more.

And? Don’t let me pull apart some of Gatlands Lions picks! He’s had plenty of opportunity for England and hardly stood out

I would say one of the worst performances by England in many years!!

As I have said SB needs a clean slate, his squad his ideas and his coaching staff and then we shall judge!!

Today has been an embarrassment at HQ!!

I think anyone could stand in the backfield and carry to zero meters gained. Gain line wins is a different conversation. Are you his agent? A solo battle to make him sound better than his poor performance suggests?
