Well done the scrum. Lineout was a different matter though. Agree with the comments about Crosbie and Haining, and Miller and Shiel ( really should give him a start ) showed up fairly well when he came on. Also as said elsewhere Hoyland needs to kick on occasion otherwise they just line up for him.


Yes if Hoyland learns to kick tactically we have a very interesting back up 15 for when Kinghorn and Graham are with Scotland (post world cup I guess Seymour and Maitland will take a back seat).

When Leinster have the ball they play like a side that's not afraid to lose it. We on the other hand... :roll:

Just reflecting on our capitulation on Friday, but looking at the stats that was still a strong Leinster B team; they had 1134 caps in their squad as opposed to 426 in ours, just shows how they can at will still put out experienced and winning teams during International games, if only we could do the same.Ah well dream on!
