Agree, I mentioned in my post that Smith passing wasn’t great. I was actually thinking after 20 mins and another poor pass by Smith when/if Grix was going to pull him for Balmforth then noticed Balmforth come in for Fash.
Pleased to see that Balmforth took on the dummy half role as he made such a difference and created a problem for the opposition. On his showing today I think it would be harsh to drop in next week as feel he had played himself in to the 17. I’d also say his fitness was pretty good for the minutes he played.
Even in spite of Smiths erratic passing at times today do thought we looked a more fluent and coherent team without Danny.
Be interesting to see if Cartwright comes in to the side straightaway and who would make way from today.
