I don't really agree with that. Quite a few times I watched him stand off attackers instead of moving up, letting Orsmby and others take them on and effect the tackle. He looked almost like he was afraid to get involved today, like he knew if he messed up like last week he would find himself dropped. I'd go as far as saying he was anonymous and ineffectual today.
On the opposite end, I thought Ormsby was brilliant. That lad really looks like he's taking his opportunity with both hands. Big for a winger and not afraid to take on the line, both in attack and defence.
Overall today I was happy to come away with the win but more importantly it was good to see an improved performance. GO'B is really cementing himself in the side, deserved MoM for me today and I think it will be a crying shame if he's dropped again when Russell is fit. We've still a long way to go as a squad but we built up some good attack today (although lacking a little in execution) and looked better in defence. All good signs
