Is it the weakest AB side of the professional era ? I am tending to think so.
I don't think so.
I think the game plan and captaincy is very weak.
Yes agreed, overall mentality is very weak.
The first 30 minutes should have seen us build a lead that England would have been unable to come back against.
But they went in st half time the happier team.
We are poor
Reminded me of how I felt in 99 SF and the 07 QF.
Even though we were winning at HT I never felt comfortable about us pressing on in those games or even today.
Whilst Roigard’s kicking game was largely good today, I thought the game management and option taking by him and BB were erratic and never settled.
Haven’t rad the stats yet, but it appears they our fatties didn’t run the ball anywhere near what we have seen this year. Where were the 3 man pods and then using the space on 2nd and 3rd phase.
