They lost the WCC this year...

What Yeaman (or Horne for that matter) has done in previous years is irrelevant. Even if you're arguing that it is relevant, Yeaman is also known for being greedy with possession.

His opportunity was a glaring chance to put the game to bed and conclude a great team effort and performance, instead he sacrificed that for his own glory. It's all valid criticism, lets hope he can show ability to learn from his mistakes. If not, he shouldn't be immune from criticism or replacement.

I blame Blacklock.

This thread is going around in circles more than a very circley thing.

I'm on my third glass of wine and second bag of crisps. I'm debating whether to get a packet of winegums from the kitchen but I don't want to miss anything.

I was disagreeing with the argument that because the players practise that particular drill, Pitts should have taken the ball. Jogging back and forth whilst practising catching a ball you expect to be delivered around your ankles is appreciably different to running at full tilt and taking a ball that has already bounced at your feet in a game situation.

It goes without saying that everything is easier in training, but that only strengthens my argument that Pitts was in no way responsible for the break down of the move. I can see the point in defending Yeaman, but to try and shift the blame (or any part thereof) onto Pitts is ridiculous.

Earlier in the thread he actually said that pitts wasn't as equal in proportionate blame but to suggest Pitts should be taking that pass 80% of the time is unbelievable.

Don't disagree with that and never have.
