He was on the field, he was down at the opposite end of the field lay on his back with the physio, whilst Foster came running on. Foster must have got the call from the 4th official to enter the field of play though.

Eastmond should play there IMO, no question.

Flannery is needed in the pack.

I agree.

And the pack needs to get its act together this week.

I hadn't really worried about Flanders's absence, but the difference in strength and go forward from his drives, as opposed to the young back rowers was very,very obvious when I saw the Bradford game.

That's the difference 10 years makes in developmental terms!

I guess.
