Their defence was good although maybe too good at times.
Don't get not using sheil and without another 10 on the bench we never looked like being able to change things up.
Thought VDW played well for the most part and not that lang or Hutchison played badly but Bennett was missed and offers a bit more. Will be good to have Kinghorn and boffelli available and give us options.
Aye, I really don't see the point of Shiel warming the bench, he offers real zip in his pass and pace to challenge a big pack like that - he's like the perfect guy to come on at 60/65 mins.
I'm really looking forward to having Boffelli available, the club site lists him at fullback. Moyano had one touch today and he launched a promising attack.
It was good to see Bradbury back and carrying hard, I do worry about flogging Bill the way we do

On that subject, when Mr Russell is in Edinburgh at the end of the month, he might spare a few minutes to explain the banana kick to our FB! Implies to me that we have limited options for the kicking duties.

I thought Immelman took all the kicks right from the start, assumed it was because they think he has a bigger boot? He sliced almost all of them though.

A few of the new signings really not impressing; Immelman has been very poor, Lang out of position at 13 and De Bruin could have been hooked earlier. If Immelman was Blair Kinghorn over the last few weeks there would ve a lust for blood in some quarters. With all fit, based on current form and assuming Bofelli plays as he does for Argentina then Immelman shouldn't be in the squad, and that is a problem. It is early yet so they all get the benefit of the doubt but they need to be better.
A second week of leaving a win out there when a bit of leadership would have seen them over the line.
