Mark Connolly Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 When you put it in the context of big results where we haven't won for ages, that half hour was as bad as the first 38 minutes in the 38-all at Twickenham, and the first half in Paris in 2021. But they were comebacks. We nearly fucking chucked that away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wales were there for the taking and we scraped through because of their first half tactics. Massive changes needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superwell87 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Our discipline was awfull throughout last years six nations. At HT I was thinking, well this is different. Oh how wrong I was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid back to back yellow cards as well. Balls of steel to wrestle the game back at the end, when really Wales should have won it, but we should never have given them the chance. We headed out to the pub after Duhan's try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The full back position needs sorting out for the next game, too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at the end, we should have got the bonus point. 50 good minutes against a badly misfiring opponent and 30 truly appalling minutes against an opponent that didn't do anything special, they just got their act together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
