There were only 4 in the row we were in, and no one at all in the row in front. Main stand just about on half way, in other words long term season ticket holders not turning up in droves.

Yep, I confess, early KO coupled with the weather had me heading home from the office to watch on TV. If I could have looked forward to some back play like we got from Scotland today, I would have rocked up late I'm sure!!
But I am worried about coaching again, how is it here Visser was just a deadly finisher but now he looks an all round rugby player? I really think we need a clear out of our coaching staff.

At Edinburgh Vissers defensive positioning or aerial ability was the least of the coaches issues, if everything else was working well then they could have invested time on improving individuals however we consistently have squad wide set piece/defence/attack/system/attitude/take your pick/all of those mentioned issues that need fixed before any single players shortcomings.
I agree that we need all the coaching staff cleared out but I don't see it happening. I believe the Sunday Times this week noted that 7 SRU coaches working alongside or reporting do Scott Johnson have the same agent as Scott Johnson so they either keep their job or get a meaty pay off in which case we cannot afford quality replacements unless we sacrifice keeping players.
Was not 100% on Cockerills appointment but the more SteveWalsh I have to watch from ER the more I am warming to his appointment, we are just pish at present.

you have been told many times that he was frozen out at Dragons because of nepotism. He has enough problems without spinning it to suit your poorly informed agenda. It does get a bit tiresome reading you write every comment about a player based on an opinion you have formed before he gets here. If you had decided he was rubbish, he will always be rubbish and any good performance is down to something else. If you have decided he is good, he is excused every bit of excremental play. Tiresome. You have some good comments to make if you stick to what you see rather than your preconceptions.
Tovey can be good enough behind a dominant pack but what we did know before he came here - he is flaky under pressure. And he is often less than brave. The "injuries" (which he quickly recovered from) after making errors - one a bad kick - were enough to see him out the door.
Until last night I thought it was all poor coaching and mental weakness. It is but last night also looked like a fitness issue. Or maybe just mental fatigue. Going to take some fixing whatever it is

Occasionally makes the odd break granted but too rarely and doesn’t compensate for his failings. He is what he is and that aint good enough for us!
