We had a good run then we lost at home in a tight game vs SA. The heads seemed to have dropped since then. 

I think what also needs to improve is 6N away performances. Getting gubbed at every away venue bar Rome is poor, then losing heavily in Nice in the WC warm-up then coaches claiming that they never got the players up for the game is concerning. 

I also thought that Laidlaw had another 6N campaign in him. I wonder if he was "assisted" on his decision after the poor WC?

I would have hoped so. I’ve never seen a team so lacking in pragmatic nous.
I'd imagine if a bad 6 nations transpires he is gone. Would like to see cockerill take over as he would sort out our softness up front. Toony is lucky to be getting this chance due to the WC performance. The first match in WC against a pretty poor Ireland team showed his lack of top level managerial quality. It was a fucking disgrace

There should be two cards here - the Exeter player punches Hastings in the face, then Gibbins leads with the elbow

Didn't seem interested in the punch

That was bizarre. Hastings spotted it, but the rest of them waved it away. It was an upward motion of the arm into the face of a falling player. It wasn't a grab or a bind.

Gibbins is lucky though, I don't think he was trying to hit the guy on the ground, but he did.

You feel like we are going to get the bonus point, but this second half is going to be brutal. I don't think Exeter played that well there, in fact I think their tries were all pretty lucky to be honest, a lucky interception, the one were the guy crawled over the line and the last came from a lucky bounce from a dropped carry. 1st 10 mins 9f this half are massive, just feel if Exeter step it up we are in trouble.
