The match was an improvement on last week and certainly 5 points are great to secure,but we are still making it too difficult for ourselves.The main gripes I have at the moment,like most,is our defence out wide; it is a a big problem with us appearing to be defending,but as soon as the opposition ship the ball out, we are caught out,over and over again.Having said that when we sort out this area we definately have the backs to cause most teams a problem.
The forwards are now moulding into a hardened unit,but they must support the runners,and in particular get back to basics and play a more off-loading game.All in all,we are improving but could go back to the Edinburgh of old if we do not iron out these problems sooner rather than later.It will be a massive step up the next two weeks and if we dont get it right it could be a tough couple of shifts for all concerned.Ps i am behind Cockers when players are not performing up to scratch bring someone else in and give them a chance to stake a place in the team.
