The technicical ability of rugby players generally is poor and that line out typified it.  Such a high percentage of training dedicated to gym work that simple things get forgotten about.

That was a timing issue. Total miscommunication between the lifting pod and Brown. The ball went over the jumper as he started to go back down.

But I do agree with the general point

I'd say that's a bit harsh, hitting that mark from the side is about as easy as hitting one particular seat from on the pitch.  However, he does have previous for bottling a crucial conversion.

Really annoying that we're fifth in the world but that still means we're distantly the third best team in Europe. You folk that saw the 84 and 90 grandslams we're jammy barstewards. I don't think I'll ever see is win a slam and wonder if we'll ever win a championship

France totally illegal at that scrum, tighthead driving in and up before the ball was even in.

I'll say it again, why isn't the TMO advising based on the spider cam?

Yeah, not even a bit of curiosity about why a scrum which was getting pulped suddenly has the upper hand, was clear as day the boring in. That and the no yellow card for all those penalties in the 22 my major gripes with the ref today. 

Thought we obviously started poorly, and were more wasteful than otherwise this winter, but we were superb for 60 minutes today.
