Poor throw - not high enough.

Fair enough. Never really did lineouts when I played.

Do people seriously expect an Exeter type performance when we are resting the vast majority of the squad? The reaction to the win is somewhat OTT.

Our starting 15 was without Brown, Earle, Care, Marler, Crumpton, Sinckler, Horwill, Symons, Robshaw, Clifford, Dombrandt, Bothma with the vast majority rested not injured.

Last year we couldn’t buy a win.  We are doing v well in the league and top of our group in Europe. The squad finally has competition with an ability to rotate.

Some perspective is needed.

I didn't expect an Exeter type performance but I expect much better skills and tactics. Well, I do at home games - I do actually expect poor skills and tactics away from home.

On a tiny point of fact -- Bothma played, so did Sinckler. Otherwise I'm with you, it was fine barring our kicking.

They played, but weren't starters, so GP2110 was right in saying our starting 15 on Saturday didn't include them [pedantmode=off]  ;)

That'll teach me to read things before posting.

Actually if everyone did that the internet wouldn't exist, so I'll carry on.
