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.
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.
