I think Townsend and other coachβs too focus on creating the chances. But to get to be at the very top it is converting the 2 or 3 chances you get in a top tier international.

Saw Healy at the bath game. Did not look right at all. So might need to look further.
On the plus side Muncaster and others always look good.
A few kicks going over would have helped too.

Agree with your thread. The extension is baffling. If this was football the fans would be calling to sack the board.
On player mindset, we turned over Leinster lineout, then rather than someone making a call or running it in they threw it back 30 metres in a panic. Not what confident teams do.

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:
One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.
Given we only have two pro teams, the summer tour and autumn out of test window games are basically lil having a Scottish third team.
Also we donβt get invited to play the tier 1 toursβ¦I assume.
The borough I am in is 25 times larger than my parents home town - the biggest town in Argyll & Bute, area 7,000 square km. They have a weekly newspaper and we donβt.
The population of A&B could fit on the Elizabeth line 10 times.
If we never play again we could just keep on dreaming!

And also no matter what the situation, the SRU could have sorting things earlier. Or if there is a problem, explained it fully and clearly to the players and to the media. So itβs a fail all around. Do have a whole press day,during the World Cup and not cover the women in the World Cup says it all.
