So close so many times. Absolutely could've won that.
But that was a team of World Cup winners and we took them to the wire. Dominated the majority of the game.

Decent team, all things considered. Always going to be a tough fixture and I'm struggling to conjure any optimism.

Can we all make a prayer to the rugby gods to watch over Darcy

Might struggle at hooker, otherwise we've had to deal with longer injury rosters.

Notable omissions: Steyn, Thompson, Healy, Warr, Tuipolotu jr. and (unsurprisingly) Mish, and Matthews. Any others?
Great to have Burke in the mix.
Backs look VERY settled.

Turns out a 2pm kick off is French time 😤😤😤😔
Wouldn't be so annoyed but had to pay for this on top of PS subscription and there's no "watch from start" option. 😞
