Quote: poppys mum "Thing is CT it wasn't the same team as last week.
Last night we had chase/sherwin/owen/westerman/ferres none of these played last week. So imo that makes it evenmore worrying.'"
Right, I might be scrapping the barrel of optimism here, but......
Last night we used chase/sherwin/owen/westerman/ferres and were not as good as without them in France. Noone would suggest these are not in our best 17. But does this really mean we have more depth than we expected and there is considerably more competition for places than we first thought.
If these players did not perform sufficiently there is little doubt in my mind they should be contenders to miss out in favour of those who are performing.
Brave decisions often follow successful teams around.
TM is a brave coach IMO
