In comparison to other second rows at this level of the game he's way off it for me. You know, the one that shall not be mentioned.

I was at the game Saturday, that gap is getting wider. We need a fix, and quickly. Not sure where that comes from though.

Bet you haven't paid good money to do so though. I'll be there....and I'll be happy if I see a performance for 80 with some sort of proper identity. And no...I've not had a beer yet 😂

For me I'd be happy with a performance. No one expects us to win, so a solid 80 where we're competitive and have an identity I can get on board with.

Personally, I think that we can't. The reality is Wales won't be SA this weekend. Or it's highly unlikely. But can we get a performance? That would mark some improvement in my eyes. Can we compete in those areas you mentioned? Can we score tries? Will we look like we have an identity?

Which is strange. The TH prop is the cornerstone to any scrum. So if you have a world cup winning scrum a large part of that is due to the TH.

What a test match. Loved it.

It is. But maybe that's harder than ever. Rugby has become so physical who do you move a team around the field when you are losing every gainline? The main option then is to go to the air. And traditionally a kick is only as good as it's chase. And forwards defend a running 10 better than ever.

You're right. I can't help but feel, in the whole, they're underachievers. Especially with the quality of player they have the size of their union.

The life blood of our sport.

They're an easy and lazy target for the initiated based on years and years of them being the "quarterback". You make some great points here.

It was a great game. Makes me wonder who Wales begin to match these levels of physicality week in week out.

I've been looking for rugby accounts today since moving over. It'll start to come no doubt.
