We looked woefully inept in attack in the first half, but that was for a number of reasons not just this one.
I have utterly no idea why they were using Matagi as second man out from the ruck when he is clearly at his best as a direct straight line first man runner. Everytime he came to take the ball second out he was stood more or less still and the defence was nearly up in his face, partly due to our crap passing. We were shockingly embarrasingly bad going forward and in defence and couldn't tackle probably the lightest man on the pitch (Caton-Brown) in defence, even with two or more men in front of him.
I agree that the one highlight of last night was Hewitt's performance, he looked really good, and i hope that improvement continues.
And yet despite what you say Matagi made almost 9 metres per carry.
