That was f***ing horrendous.

What is Munster doing? Hynes was way too casual allowing that first drop out and then dropping that ball off the first play from the scrum.

Terrible.

Was going to say the exact same thing; appalling tackling and terrible attack/ball control overall - we don't seem to have any real plan other than throwing it out to Addo-Carr hoping that he'll streak down the sideline every set.

Typically, we can't buy a Set Restart either with plenty being handed out the other way. :rolleye:

They obviously went into this game thinking they only needed to turn up to win.
Bellamy is going to blow a gasket.
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

"If we were to let Nicho go we wouldn't feel the absence. I feel he's an unpolished, out of sync version of Papi"
Strongly disagree re: Nicho, but he's not having a good game at all... who is though?

Forward pack just hasn’t made much of an impact and we’re trying to do way too much with the ball. We’ve really missed Nelson as the bench has done bugger all.

Hynes does some good out there but he really lacks quickness/ is too casual out there.

How bout the Sharks getting a six again off the back of an obvious knock on. Fortunately it didn’t come to anything but it was a joke of a call.

Tui is having a red hot streak of form. When he did his back I really thought it would limit his ability, but he is just so pleasing to watch. He is injecting what Nelson would normally

Other positives is Hughes freak like ability to create something out of nothing AND capitalise on it.

Reimis is also getting more confidence each week and it's reflecting in his form.

He doesn’t even look comfortable when he kicks. Can’t believe we’ve got no one else.

Nice to see us try this half. Didn’t need to do much to get over the top.

If we are going to miss conversions just let JAC kick it's far more entertaining

So, Reimis Smith is fairly decent isn’t he?
