The backs have looked good by and large but Furbank and Ford in some ways letting them down.

Furbank just costly and Fordy showing his lack of big game focus.

Pack looks good, Chessum, Martin looking the part.

Irish on the hunt now though!!

Can’t understand how we are behind really,incredible! Great performance by the pack and backs bar Ford and Furbank.

Need to pull Furbank off, just not international quality.

He's not a natural fullback, that ball was kicked from outside 22 he should have left it!

I was being ironic mate - Steward is first name on the team sheet for me and I don’t see what Furbank has offered as the secondary distributor in the last 3 halves of rugby that justify picking him over Steward

Too many errors in him when it really matters I’m afraid

At least SB knows now who to pick at 15. Probably worth giving Furbank a go at the back to see what happens.

Roll the dice and bring on Smith at half time.

When we get a penalty advantage close to/in the red zone why does Ford immediately kick it away??

I find it massively frustrating!

You have to question the Coach’s judgement when he selects Furbank over Steward. As someone said elsewhere, it is like choosing Cornflakes over Cocopops!………….Why would you do it? :smt005
