The only thing he could have done was not twisted his body but he would have hurt himself...

He didnt take off until after ball was kicked.
Its still a fraction of a second and he wasn't miles away from blocking it

Heyes doesn’t have his arm pulled down and lo and behold the scrum is stable and then back to their prop driving in

Early tackle on Kelly preventing a good linebreak not noticed at all

They missed the high shot that's causing the current pause too...
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?

Isn't it a bit weird we're playing Atkinson at 15 and Shillcock at 10 when they've both played the majority of their careers in each others positions

Exactly, it is pretty much irrelevant unless you are not allowed to try to charge down a kick in the air now.

Shillcock is a better player, even at 10. We need the best 10 after Pollard, especially for kicking.

Shillcock is certainly playing better at the moment but I worry a bit about Atkinsons positioning at 15

It’s a mad game and the officials are missing infringements from both sides.

Anyone else thinking if we had gone full noise, we would have a really good chance here....even a reserve winger would have helped. Still there to win
