^^ Haha....

AB's looking scary

To be honest the first 20 mins was the most encouraging display i've seen from an Ireland team in a long time. Positives were the breakdown and fitzpatrick. Negatives were didn't look like scoring a try (apart from the breakaway), and falling off to many tackles. You can't beat the AB's with that kind of defending.

Forwards were good. Backs were pretty clueless, they can't break down any type of defence.
AB's just on another level though.

Murrays pass is soooo slow, I know he looks like Phillips but didn't realise he played so much like him!

The thing in when he came on the scene his service was very quick.. Now its really poor.

Just found a link, how have we looked?

Better than SA but too much kicking. Quelle surprise.

Yes Morne you miss that kick!

Ah not surprised, saw the Robshaw turnover, I think we look a bit better organised in defence and counter attack than before. Previous regimes we would've kicked turnover ball away!

We look good when we play but tactic to kick is playing into Bok hands. Farrell not great and hindering attacking play as expected. Pack going well and Youngs looking a threat

Youngs haveing his best game in a while , can't see Dickson keeping this tempo up

You wouldn't think so on other game, getting his normal slating.

Youngs looked alright for the five minutes I saw, it looks like we could do with Flood on to get a counter attacking threat up. It looks like we have a better turnover threat, considering they have no Brussow

And thayt was literally what they just said on the panel!

Damn

Steyn can't kick for toffee!

Ouch that is a shiner!

Haskell and Care have to been in the team next either in the sqaud in or even the starting team, we miss the physcallity and zip respectively.

And Flood, he could've kicked today and added a much better attacking threat for players like Barritt and Tuilagi to run lines off.

Flood and Haskell to start, Care to bench

Anyone about?

Nah, Haskell to bench

Like TJ but he's too lightweight, we need a big carrying option.

Where's Bathite??? Might have to start looking for a new Bath manager

Surely that's Morgan?

Morgan is a good carrying option but think we need another with our front 5 so poor there

Who's squad tweaking?

Sgt_Pooly wrote:Who's squad tweaking?

Maybe but neither of us is going to give up our starting players

Haha...I know we do struggle

I always am

Oh thanks pooly, that will become very handy.

Yep thanks mate. What do you think I need more- a replacement for Nieto, an enforcer at lock or a physical centre to bosh it up the middle (I don't think I need the last one but worry that others might)?

I think maybe a beast of a second rower, Pape would be good to partner Borthwick. Although a young TH could be good. You up for a deal mate, got Wilson, Mercey and Brookes available

Just seen Brown and Barritt out of the next test, shame consdering they both played relatively well and deserved a second shot at the Boks with some alterations elsewhere.

What was interesting is that Faletau broke his hand, could be the reason he didn;t play so well yesterday IMO.

Brookes or Wilson I could consider Ransom in a deal with, Flux. Up for further negotiation?

All night

Right chaps, sorry about the radio silence, had some time off to move house and completely forgot to let you all know. Returned to a mountain of emails at work and don't have internet at home until Wednesday, but wanted to let you all know i'm back.

Right, what have I missed, what do I need to do? teamsheet, predictions, bids etc? All the pages are a sea of red, not sure where to start

Just need to predict on this weeks friendly thread fella.

You also got a £10m bonus

£10m. winning. off to the foreigns I go! haven't seen any rugby for 10 days either. take it that harry robinson is now fully capped? damnit

Might just be........

Oo I missed the cash injection coming along!! Hmmm mccabe or roberts....

Good to have you back Bathite, I was getting worried

No worries mate, never in doubt. 6/7 days without internet and I'm completely out of the loop!

Who should I buy next then? Got me a WC LH, thinking 10 next?

10

ps. If I was to leave, i'd definitely all let you know in advance, wouldn't leave you in the lurch.

Might have to bear with me a bit until the end of the week, I'll be on catch up (here and work!)

FTD or Hook? That's the question

BATH Update

Manager Bathite returns from his 10 day trip, whitebait fishing in the NZ countryside and announces his intention to revitalise his squad. He has encouraged all premiership rival clubs to make offers for his players.

Bath's recruitment strategy focuses on getting in a top fly half and he is willing to lose some of his foreign talent in order to acheive this. In general, he is looking to add EQ players to his squad

Let the deals commence.....

Who was good on the weekend? My non rugby playing mate told me that the 'massive number green 4 was really good'. I assumed that this was Etzebeth?

No he was pretty average tbh.

NZ were outstanding

Did see that Savea got a hat trick. Any stand out individual performances from the games?

Chris Robshaw was immense , ask Steve Walsh.
