I don’t think what we have seen on the last few weeks is the real Bennet/Scott, hopefully with a proper pre season etc they will be flying, it’s unlikely they will go to RWc now so we should have them from the start.
Maybe wishful thinking but I still think Bickey will come good. He was looked decent tonight with the opportunities he has, I think he looks capable of making decisions better than VDW who is good. If I dont think he plays with his head up and reads the game. Hickey can do that.
Or...... last night might be the new norm and we are back to the dark days!

I don't think it is a backs coach as such we need but more an attack coach. We need someone to bring a cohesive attack structure that can move us on and develop a tempo and more varied attack using the whole team. I think there is a lot of attacking potential in our squad we need to unlock it if we are to be progress.

Sorry but most of them are paid well to this, it is their job, if they're not fit and up to it declare themselves unavailable, and take the consequences, give someone who wants to play a chance, would we seen a worse display from the second choice squad?
