And the subs largely did themselves no favours. Alofa is no Marchant, Boyce is certainly no Marler, and Ward is no rugby player.
I agree Alofa isn’t a patch on Marchant, but thought he played as well as I’ve seen him yesterday. Boyce coughed up posession in the tackle at least twice, and less said about Ward the better.
I missed Marchant’s substitution, anyone know what his injury was? He would be a huge loss if out for a few games.
