4 of the kicks were from practically the same place. Atkinsons confidence from the tee was shot after the 2nd, you can see it. He looks great with ball in hand though, surely you get a specialist coach in and just have him heavily focusing on kicking. You can’t win prems with his kicking percentages

OHC looking great, and the scrum and maul has them firmly in the ropes.

Why I think Shilcock is a real option at 15 takes pressure off Atkinson too

Either we’ve been coached on how to get out of tackles, or Newcastle are v bad at holding!

Shillcock is a classy all rounder. I think he's going to be a great option for us with this squad.

That is a massive win in terms of a home semifinal
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Unlikely to catch Exeter but point difference advantage over Ealing and Gloucester around 80 points

Newcastle came out and made a decent fist of the 2nd half, and it took us some time to break them down, but that was a phenomenal performance really. That first half was unbelievable. Exactly what we've all wanted to see with this new regime.

Need a tbp as Ealing and Gloucester both on 19 points too. That’s to get a home semi
