I do think Hodge has to go. There's absolutely no invention and I think the players did try at bit. Chamberlain does attack the line, they did shift the ball a bit too.

Being pedantic Ritchie and Crosbie are similar age to Hodgson at 23/24 as well but back 5 is absolutely no excuse.
Platform was there did LawrenceBryce all with it.

This is the problem more than anything, in my opinion, if we were wining and playing well no one would be roarin an greetin about ages of players, whatever the facts of the matter.
Are the players we have in the backs good enough?
At pro 14 level I'd have thought we'd have the players to compete at the business end of the season, but no, we watch dire stuff week after week and we lose.

Last season we were really good and competing at the business end... It can't all have been Matt Scott can it?
It's tricky as Sau, VdM, Hoyland are all good Pro14 players. VdM is one of the best. I think the 10 and centres are a big problem, so is 9 when Pyrgos plays. Chamberlain or Savala need to be the answer at 10. I really don't think Lang will be worse than Taylor or Dean. Currie looks like he'll be very good. We'll see!

I always look forward to these reports. It was indeed an enjoyable game, with talking points a plenty.
I assume WP is now off the oxygen ? Can't remember the last time he played 80 minutes. TBF he and Schoeman held up pretty well, but I was surprised the two played throughout.
DVDM - I know I bore about this, but once again how can you have the leagues best strike runner and not get him in the game more ? Two , three passes in total ? I'd fully accept he could and should do more in looking for work. But there was more than enough possession to get him running at angles - Cole Forbes showed how to do it. At best pretty anonymous, and didn't exactly instil confidence under the high ball. Hopefully Toonie will give him the opportunity to show his strengths.
