Bore off. Against a mix of experienced pros and Springbok youngsters we've made a shed load of handling errors to gift them a way into the game. Hardly the coach dictating the weather conditions or controlling the players hands.

Am I the only one seeing a good performance punctuated by 4 or 5 critical errors?

I'm confident we'll come back and win this.

My fault.

I switched on at 10-3 up. Now look what happened. The team switched off.

Sorry guys. My fault

I don't think we were mentally prepared for this game in the right way

Considering our team, it can't be far off!

No, not that one!

Remember, whatever you do to the smallest of the backs you do to his prop, and you can't avoid the rucks and mauls forever...

I know you don't like it when I boo him but how else will he know he's wrong?

Yeah, few errors out there, need a hairdryer out this halftime, get Cronin on to change the scrum picture (even though it's roughly parity the ref has it in for us there)

Back us to correct this.

I mean, I was being facetious but...

other coaches were sacked for similar and, as others have pointed out, we look to be losing this game in the top two inches, for whatever reason we look unprepared.

What a quandary: Our A team being well beaten by a B team, with the injury count to our key players accumulating with every passing minute :smt009
This game could be season defining for all competitions we're playing in...

We are getting outpowered in the scrum and outpaced in the backs. An example would be that their 9 outpaced our winger.

I think you are yes. We’ve been awful over the 40. Far from over though, and we could of course turn it around and win.

I’m just thankful it’s not Leinster as could’ve been a bp conceded already.
