Good on the badger.
I am not convinced by paddy ryan. Scrum always goes to shit when he comes on. The lost ball and two scrum infringements by him were critical.
There's a certain irony in only addressing reds players, whilst ignoring players from other provinces (including the much maligned Michael Hooper), but I agree with the broader point :).
But what I can't understand is why you thought Slipper had a good game. I could forgive the sea gulling if...
Nothing to get excited about.
Scrum still embarrassingly shit. Last scrum of the night was good though - new front row and Timani behind...
The pack is just depressing:
Slipper - cannot scrum. Bottleneck in the backline.
Moore - new scrum laws do not suit. Rest of his game has turned to shit...
Just because Mogg kicks more doesn't mean he's a better kicker than Izzy.
I can only recall two kicks from Izzy, but both were peaches.
It's nice to have a player with the courage to run the ball at the opposition.
This is not a pot shot at Mogg - but he is not the best fullback in this country.
Folau has to be at 15. It has always been the correct choice. Why Deans and Link subsequently have continually resisted playing him in his natural position is totally inexplicable.
It's at least one year too soon for Mogg.
