Maybe it was misleading on the screen but England didn't seem to have the monsters in the pack that they have had in recent years. I remember Chessum looking the same size at U20 that he does today.

Very little from Mason Grady, that was disappointing.

Has there been any explanation of the logic behind it or is it just a case of "this is what's happening, get used to it"?

Do you trust the present bunch to get the next set of decisions right? I don't see much evidence that they know what they are doing.

Kewell used to give us the heebie jeebies, always delivered against us.

More words. This has been talked about since 2017 and we are still waiting for some meaningful action.

Maybe move Rees Zammit to full back? He can get involved all over the pitch ... Will Jordan style.

It's not just last night. I went through all the penalties and conversions from last season (I don't waste my weekends!) and we had a 60 per cent success rate - worst in the URC, next worst was Munster with 65 per cent. Glasgow had a 79 per cent success. It must have cost us the playoff place.

Somehow we have to get more points off the kicking tee.

If it is going to keep running for almost another year, but with the handbrake off, I am not sure this is much of a win.

Joining Apple Music is the worst decision I have made recently. I have a huge amount of music that I bought in iTunes, and that I was very happy with. Can't use iTunes any more, and joining Apple Music (which is garbage compared to Spotify) has screwed up my file sharing. Rant over ... for now

I think if Munster and Ulster both win we probably have to go back and play the Bulls again. It doesn't seem much of a prize to be honest.

They certainly chose their name well. He has been a thorn in the side of various Welsh teams but I can't help but like Willie Le Roux. He takes risks but with the imagination and skills to back it up.

If we finish 6th I think we have to go back again for a play-off. We need Glasgow to win today then we need to finish 7th. A trip to Glasgow would be a decent game, style-wise the Bulls are the worst possible match up.
