Interesting. How will the team play without packer?
I'll dare say it, is Packer being phased out to the new gen playing a faster game?
Connie Powell can feel very very hard done by that she's not starting. She's actually one of the players who's really kicked on under Mitchell.

Re: Leinster vs Leicester Tigers
Don't feel like Leinster are the best coached side currently. Still world class, all over the pitch, but, Leicester were a couple of key knock ons and OHC madness away from being drawing at 36-36 (or some score which was a draw). Leicester are no great shakes, and seeing Leinster go back in the scru...

Especially when Sillari has a broken leg and will miss potentially the rest of the season minimum, maybe rest of the year and is one of Italy's best players.

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Women's Rugby Thread
Pretty pleased with the second half. Far too many handling errors but quietly the more we play this way and play at pace, this would have been a proper hammering.
Players being picked who havent played in 2 years was also a problem.
