In many ways, we are a decent team, committed, fast, skilled but I have to say since Finn left we have not been smart.
We make far too many unforced errors, much as I like Lino, every week he will drop a ball stone dead under no pressure and he's not alone.
There seems to be nobody capable of calming the game down, we still seem to not understand the theory of building pressure, it's like every set is a must score.
The Cas game was tight all through the seconds half but we rarely kicked to get a second set, high ball every time, or a ponderous play to the wrong wing. I know it's cliche but with a bit of composure, that game was ours.
Jowett's howler was typical, I was right in front and you could see in the body language that he was already looking for a miracle attacking option instead of concentrating on the ball. There was no need with 20 mins to go.
If we can just do the basics we have a good chance of winning most games but at the moment unforced errors are killing us.
