Changes need to be made. The coaches aren't going anywhere. Maybe the players should?

2 things are obvious, firstly we have very little imagination in our play, we truck up and truck up. If Kinghorn wants to do something a bit special then great, but if not then keep banging away. It is effective to an extent, but defences are getting better, refs are "managing the spectacle" and you cant milk as many pens from scrums and the laws on turnovers mean it is harder to keep the ball. Unless you happen do be the likes of Exeter or La Rochelle and be able to afford monsters who are thletic and refs seem to allow to gt away with a lot.
Last night we got very little reward from a dominant scrum (Lambert played very well) and when we lost Crosbie we looked short of pace, Boyle would have been better to replace him, a sense that Cockers again was scared to throw in a youngster.
Shiel makes some poor deciions at times but he is not going to get better sitting in the stand,, so just let him play. If he is having a shocker then Henry can come on and steady the ship, but no need for that right now anyway.

that is a good question. If asked of Cockerill.

Good match for Kinghorn to be at 10, nothing at stake for ER so he can just play and if Shiel can keep the tempo up can see Kinghorn asking questions of the defence...although have visions of a few high risk plays perhaps not coming off as well.
