Why attack tight when the space is wide?

IF we could attack we'd actually be challenging

I think it’s too laboured 😉

I’ll say it again, attack coach - or lack of is so telling. We get some opportunities but are devoid of ideas to execute.

Why didn't Shillcock kick it? He has been a bit of s rabbit in headlights. Shown this is not his level.

Shilcock should have let Scott pick that up and pop it back to him trying to take that at full pelt was always asking a lot.

The review needs to compare what Leinster do at the same position as Leicester. Hurd needed to drive them away from the line then. A step below in thinking and speed of thinking at all levels today. No attention to detail. Good effort for plucky losers :smt010

Well, we've just lost to the best two European international teams backed by possibly the worst European international referees.

If we had cut out the errors today, we would have been in with a chance. This is what is killing us.

Context
That was damned near the Ireland team
It was a squad unrestrained by salary cap
We all know our shortcomings in attack - as must have their coaching team
They were familiar with the ref
The helicopter bringing the "spawney stick" from Quin's got lost
I used to sit near a stalker and we want him back "kick for the corner!!!!"

Completely agree. This had been missing for me this season so far. It was good to see.

If only we could execute better....

Heart and endeavour don't win games (sadly). I assume the lack of any points means we're now out of this competition?

This competition has been a joke for ages though. English teams just can't compete. Don't the richest clubs always win?
