Agree TH it is the manner of the defeat rather than the defeat itself that frustrates.
Could really have done with Fraser McKenzies leadership on Friday night.
Hindsight is wonderful but could some of the young guys who were thrown in together been introduced at different times earlier in the season so they had a little more experience, even just the odd 10-15 mins next to Gilchirst or Toolis, although it is reasonable to think the experience roundabout them should have stepped up.
Delighted for Graham that he has been called up but think we are pretty sparse for cover now, unless one of Brown or Hoyland are fit, i assume we may see Farndale or maybe Blain again in the back 3 with Fife and VDM. Or does Johnstone move to the wing with Socino coming in and maybe Taylor on the bench?
Back row of Mata, Mason and Hamilton with a youngster on the bench, or is Hamilton perhaps going to be benching for Scotland given injuries and outside of window unavailables.
Pretty thin on the ground anyway.
