Terrible decision, but we are not in this, the game is being played in our territory

Groom slows any slight chance we get


I don't think it was forward - the line was there and he caught the ball behind him.

Graham needs to kick to not these mental offloads.

I was using the cut of the grass and the 22 as a guide, it looked forward to me.

Please please please no more Groom. I'm lying on the sofa and quicker to the ball than he is.

I know it has been a stop start season but jeez.

pack looks a bit unfit which is unusual. Similarly defence normally ok but a bit ropey today.

Some of the broken field stuff good, some honking.

Structured phase play as always WTF is our plan how are we actually trying to score.

Fairly certain when VDW joined he sat really flat (was that with SHC at 9 playing well when looking for a contract?) Looks like the game plan just pushes him further and further back made some nice breaks under pressure needs quicker service.

In fairness, Groom is getting there quickly but there's no pod or willing receiver ready for it when he does.

Got my breath back after that half, not pretty but so far we’re ahead, how? Time for a Scarlets red card.

As far as I can tell the Hodge master plan is to have your fly half standing ridiculously deep. It was a problem before vdw and I also think it's why Hickey didn't work out. Being asked to.play a game which is anathema to kiwi 10s.

So many errors, we’ve failed to secure kick offs, dropped balls in midfield and given away stupid offside penalties

VdW is such a poor passer for a 10.
