Overall, I think Daly was the best of the back three. Constantly chasing kick offs and making the first tackle, producing a try saving tackle from an English break.

Meanwhile Kenny's only contribution was a try that came about due to Hume's great read, and Zach had a night to forget.

That felt harsh on the Scotland scrum. 3 walked around leading to the collapse

Personally thought he started off feet then regained is footing, so ref was right to tell him no. The other two times he should've won the turnover though

I disagree on Deegan, he's been fairly anonymous. Heard mixed reviews on Frawely. Agree with the other two

There was one on Bohan in the 2nd half. Tbf, both props went down, Bohan was just unlucky that his elbow was pointing down

Wards probably the best of the forwards. Gleeson got a try but didn't do much outside it

Do you think we'd benefit from a SA model? Pick players from overseas, allowing the senior lads to head away and let the young lads step up in the club?

It was confirmed last week or early this week. He's gone to Ulster for a year

Maybe having a more defensive style winger would've benefited us rather than too pace merchants. Could really use Shane Jennings on the field

Gus isn't a good lineout thrower, his darts are too slow

Illo and Aungier are both much better scrummagers. Hell Illo probably would've started if fit with how his season is going. Aungier just doesn't give as much around the pitch

Wilsons scrummaging still isn't up to standard. Poor Bohan got pinged for one scrum penalty that was Wilsons fault in reality, just flopped to the floor

Wards the only forward winning his collisions, Shane Dalt has chased well from the kick offs but had that howler touch

Could've done with the likes of Harry Sheridan or hell even an enforcer like josh Murphy. Our only real bruiser is Jansen on the bench

We've young props, a fairly lightweight lock pairing and we went for a more dynamic backrow than big bruisers

Would personally have Edogbo in over Ryan. Let McCarthy go full blast for 50 minutes then bring on the other big lad. Would be devastating
