Difference for me is the attack. At the start of the season, we seemed to like to play a bit of expansive attractive rugby. Now we seem to just run it in one man at a time. What's happened?

Our defence wasn't brilliant at the start of the season anyway. We've let in a try at the death pretty much every game. Baring in mind we haven't been stuffed by anyone, so it's not that bad.

Our attack let is down big time today. We don't have the forwards to lay the platform. We've got grafters on the pitch in the props, 2nd row and loose man who just consistently run it in but don't make much yards or breaks. I know you need a few grafters to settle the game and be consistent, but not in every position in the pack. We tried winning a game by grafting. You can't expect to win games in SL that way.
Willie Manu is the only explosive player we have. Moa isn't on the pitch long enough to make much impact. Thackray isn't even getting picked anymore. King got battered for the 2nd week in a row. Lacklustre pack. And this was the "strength" we tried playing to today.
