The Gloucester game and the rubbish served up today has shown what a useless DOR gustard is, he is making jk look good at the moment and his signings for next season will make us struggle not to finish bottom next season, all my predictions of finishing top 4 have gone out of the window because the smug arrogant twit can’t pick a team to beat a basically second string sarries side, believe me that his own self indulgence will keep our great club struggling
Sorry arniepie, but I absolutely disagree with most of this post.
A good chunk of the signings we’ve made are exactly what we need to win these kind of games. For example, Baldwin and Lewies will improve our lineout (which will be a major boost) and Campagnaro would either have started instead of Chisholm or come on for Marchant instead of Alofa.
I don’t know how you’d class that as a ‘second string Sarries side’ either? OK, Farrell and Kruis we’re rested and Itoje is injured, but beyond that, it was pretty much their first choice lineup full of international players.
We had a poor second half, but we were fairly good in the first and came out of a game I didn’t expect us to win with a losing BP. It could have been a lot worse.
I don’t think we can compare Gustard and Kingston at all. Very odd indeed.
