Finally the attack. We didn't bomb anything - that implies we made half chances and blew them by forcing passes or ignoring overlaps. We didn't - we engineered nothing even with a wealth of possession and territory in the final 20 against a tiring, average team.

We had good territory after Russell came on, why Myler waited until then to put some decent kicks in I will never know. Like I said before very frustrating to me.

We have two centres who are stealing a living, along with a scrum half who shouldn't be even playing at this level if that's all he can do on a pitch (very little).

I was never a massive fan of Nathan Wood, but Myler needs to watch a few videos of him, just to show what can be done even if you aren't the most naturally talented player in the world.
