We dont get to play this team in the league but the experience the younger players get in the league shows through in Europe. We are the masters of squad rotation.
Great game, what a result. Absolutely perfect start to Europe. Given it's possible to secure a home semi final now, you really do win the European Cup in the groups, more now than ever, so couldn't be more delighted with this.
James Ryan cameo, I love a lock who can carry like a back-row and is physical...he is going to be some player.
A lot of bad missed tackles again, but when you look at who we're missing, this team is pottering along very, very nicely. Very happy.

I'd really feel for Glasgow getting those injuries (Swinson at the get go is a big loss for them) if I wasn't so busy feeling delighted at the larceny.
10 points is amazing. Imagine if we could tackle too?
On a side note on the highlights they showed of Scarlets v Bath - I love how the Welsh claim things would be different if they were in the Premiership, yet every time they play an English team in Europe the grounds are as empty as if they're playing Zebre.

2 tries for Healy, one for Reid, missed the other try scorer.

We're back in Glasgow in 2 weeks.
Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014
England A 8 - 14 Ireland A, 25th Jan 2014 Ruddock(c) 19/2 Tackles
Delighted with that result. The 2nd try was brilliant from the pack. Just loved how we turned the screw in the scrum

I think most of the missed tackles were down to Glasgows good attack.

I never blame a guy for giving away a penalty holding on to the ball – he's down and out of the game, it's the rest of his team-mates who don't win the contest over the ball who are to blame. The chap holding on is just the patsy.

We need somebody like Hugonaur to give us a Masterclass on our tackling stats in the last two games. Is our high line placing too much pressure on us making tackles or is it plane and simple missing hits?
