I've been watching 10 minutes and haven't really seen any phases of what you could actually call "rugby" being played.

True story.

Though this scrum was purely Healy under pressure

The problem with choke tackles is that you give up 5 yards in defence.
If you don’t get the turnover then its good ball for the attack.
Chop the bastards down.

Sarries have been excellent. Their use of the highball and pressure on Larmour is textbook. Their scrum and defence are outstanding. If you don’t consider that rugby then I’m

Yep unless it is two backrows it’s very risky

He's been so bad.
Sexton hasn't been good either.
His age really comes to the fore against English teams.

They're doing fine but we're clearly contributing too. Although I'm not sure why my post prompted that reply.

You’re giving up 12 points down before half time. Hope the Leinster players aren’t so mentally weak
