It might just be a weak crop of players but can't say i'm too impressed by Laidlaw as a 15s coach
Other countries seem to have had way better development strategies than us for quite dome time.

@Victor-Meldrew For years (under Philpott), they said it wasn't about winning.
I wonder whether that's still the case. -

Tuilagi try. Just look at that pack in the maul. So much bigger than ours.
You can't coach size

That looked like firsts practising mauls against the dirty thirds.
The displays so far by NH teams showing the benefit of the competition up north.
