Yep. But lucky they are missing shots at goal
Yeah mate that won't last for too long sooner or later they will find their range. We just need to be a lot cleaner with our disposal

Anybody know why we've shifted to the rule that our key forward plays ruck in stoppages in the forward 50 no matter how many dedicated rucks are playing? I can't understand that.


This was my father's belief
And this is also mine:
Let the corn be all one sheaf--
And the grapes be all one vine,
Ere our children's teeth are set on edge
By bitter bread and wine.

10 frees to 1 in our favour at this point in the match. Watch them even that up once they know

What is wrong with Dougal Howard? Why does he look like he's never going to win a contest in this game

I think main ruck sits just outside 50 as the wall

Too many marks inside Fifty.
Getting too many easy looks.

Come on FFS.

If they start kicking straight we're f***ed. They're all over us. Kicking and flow through the middle is so much better

It's a little too defensive at this stage of the game for me.
