Must confess I'm confused by the Mo and JB love, both had a number of errors balanced out with their good stuff.
Agreed. Not terrible but a lot of errors
Most players went well, only two poor performances IMO. Will Jordan had one of his worst games and Frizell had an extremely low workrate in his 45mins before getting subbed

Intrigued to see people talking about Jordie. I thought he had an absolute shocker, and was one of our worst.
He had to pack down on the side of the scrum for most of the game. Hard to shine in those circumstances

Hard to cart it up the middle off the scrum when you are playing #7 in the scrum I guess

Still managed second most defenders beaten after Telea, and stopped another dead set Bok try. But yeah, shit

yup Jordie didn't do everything perfectly but he wasn't the problem. Big heart, good motor.

Threw the pass where we scored in the corner didn't he?
Yeah but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system, and public health ...

the drains could have drained better.

It was more his distribution. Think there was a couple of knock ons and a forward pass.

Many players had off days, especially in the backs

Jordie set a pretty high bar after his close to MOTM performances against Ireland and Argentina.
“defenders beaten”, one of the more meaningless stats in all of a rugby when analysing a performance. One half decent run could have you beating 3 or 4 players…
I thought Jordie struggled at times and there were several others that played better.

You could say the same about the locks. Lineout was fucking awful for 20 minutes or so. Scooter makes the calls doesn't he? The movement was like pinball and seemed counterproductive. Much better when we decided to revert to basics.

yeah that was awful to start and appeared to cost us at least 2 lineouts in prime attacking position, and then of course the sliding doors about the red card had we managed to get points off one of them.
