Would be good to have another guy step up for hooker especially if Scannell is involved more with Ireland

Just watched it again- lots of positives there, unless you are a dragon. JOD and TOD did great work, as did Billy. Tidy (mostly) by JJ and TB, but for me, Shane Daly’s very intelligent play (chip with outside of right foot to keep ball in play for try, busy throughout) was the standout. A dry day and he’ll be magic to watch.

It can happen, overall though I thought it was his most error free game in as long as I can rememberI am the million man.

Officially he is SENIOR coach. Unofficially he is the attack coach. In both cases I'm glad to see he is working with all the players as for too fuppin long now our pack seem to think that their job is to win the ball, keep it for a few minutes through one-out runners and then get out of the way when the backs have it. If we have notions of lifting trophies then all 15 players on the pitch are going t have to be comfortable passing and running at soft shoulders. Nice to be able to see it done in horrible conditions in the first hit out of the season with 12 internationals missing.
Hopefully this will change.

Our forwards also seem to think that, when they get within 5 yards of the opposition's Goal Line, they need to go for endless pick and drives. They never seem to think of letting the ball out in such circumstances.
Hopefully this will change.

It's a great tactic to pull in players who have to defend the line but too often we just pass the ball to players without momentum who are easily stopped ,heads up rugby is needed and someone calling the shots ,should be the 9 in theory.

Originally posted by Nuts View PostIs there anywhere I can get a replay of the game. Went to pub to watch it and forgot to record. Would love to sit down and watch it again. Between the LI game and the Dragons you can see a whole new attack system bedding inLast edited by aupa les rouges; 30th-September-2019, 11:08.
