Like I said, I would have expected Pryce to do that in the absence of our hookers and scrum halves (Roby is an impact hooker only; he hasn't got much in the way of organisational skill and we have only ever played him as impact, which is where he is effective). However, Pryce did not step up this time, presumably because Potter had some other plan in mind or maybe because Pryce is weary of doing the job. Who knows. I don't.

That is exactly what we thought. Wilkin and Pryce together at that match were sheer genius. It was tried again just a few weeks ago against Wakey and was rubbish. I have absolutely no idea what changed, but change it did. Presumably that is why it didn't happen either last week or this.
I'm suspecting Potter gets quite a few things wrong but that just sounds like sour grapes.
Wouldn't mind your coach. Pity he wanted to stay with you!
(Don't blame him mind!)
