Just saw a stat on us;
Ranked #1 20pts Dropped - from winning position
Wasnt it only last year that we had pretty much the opposite? Most points won from coming behind..?
Wierd. I wonder why that is?
Poch is over training them maybe. Too many double sessions taking their toll. A lot of the players look burnt out. Toby in particular seems to have dipped alarmingly. I can see most of our players having poor Euros. Poch needs to learn from this and make adaptations.
I think we're still among the best teams at coming from behind.Just saw a stat on us;

Poch has made loads of mistakes so far, but learnt very quickly from most of them.
Today most of the sideways passing after they pegged us back could be put down to tiredness.
The further upfield the fb s are, the less effective they are, or certainly in Cafu s case. They are better coming from deeper with momentum.
And we have no plan b, it's like for like really off the bench. He said we had enough up front but we didn't.
We are effective on the break but it could be argued don't have enough variety to see off inferior teams at at home, particularly if we are all square at the break and especially around the hour mark.
Can he find a way to deal with these issues and take us to the next level, and will he get the support from the board to do so?
Time will tell.
I agreeAlso think we need a real leader in the team.
