The performance against Gloucester gave me hope, but recent history tells me to be cautious.
Veainu is a big loss, although Holmes is an excellent player too it leaves us weaker on the wing and as a back 3 unit. Olowofela played really well last week, but the thought of him trying to tackle Naholo conjures images of Lomu vs Underwood.
Taufua mitigates the loss of Liebenberg and our pack looks strong, my main worry is that Myler and Jackson will control the game far better than their opposite numbers and Tigers will spend much of the game in the wrong part of the pitch.
Faint optimism is there, but my money would be on Irish.
I’d take Cipriani and Twelvetrees over Myler and Jackson...
On a warm, dry summers day yes, on a rainy autumn day I'm not so sure.
Reid and Hardwick were indeed very good against Glouc, but the weekend before was far from impressive. One win does not guarantee consistency!
Time to prove we are serious about getting up the table.
A good defensive effort - as against Glous - and a bit more playing the conditions please.
L.I.were beaten by Fez Heads with last kick of the game.
So 80 mins + performance please.
As somebody who would normally be labelled a happy clapper I have to say we are absolutely dreadful, defence is still average at best and our attack is so blunt. Can't remember the last time we scored from a backs move, especially from 1st phase like loaders try
JP Doyle is a joke, gives Irish a penalty but then says if the scrum half does that again, it’s not a penalty only a scrum. Then why isn’t it a scrum this time round?
