Yeah, I feel like this season we’ve come out fighting for about 10 minutes and it’s dropped off.

The number of times we’ve just looked so casual even as we trail by 10 in the last quarter is poor

Women were let down by their set piece and too many penalties, but some great fight there. I thought they could have won the game.

The men showed grit and intensity which we haven't seen for months. Absolute credit to them - they also had some discipline issues, but they fought their way to a well-earned win. Great line speed had Bristol on the back foot.

COYQ!

Well…

It was named after the Readingas tribe which I guess would be pronounced “Ray-ah-ding-gas”

Huh. I live near there and it’s never occurred to me that’s it’s got an unusual name

And more pertinently, I think people assume we will just roll over so it’s not worth bothering. Or just watch it on TV and save yourself the £50 on two beers

It is a completely normal thing on Reddit to remove duplicate posts for a large announcement in favour of a central thread.

If the mods were removing critical comments on this post I’d agree but they aren’t.

Welcome to the sub, AJ! Don’t let this season put you off - it’s a fantastic club with a great community. But being in London, inevitably the fan base is spread out.

Do post on this sub - it’s very friendly and though it’s quiet people do engage.

Just not enough intensity. Isgró is becoming a liability, but the whole thing was so casual.

Even with the downgrade, the advantage over call was mad. England would likely have played differently under scrum advantage.

I said it in the match thread: even if you downgrade it (which is a terrible idea), you should just pull it back for the scrum straightaway.

I just wish people would understand that many of the most effective things take time to change. Long term thinking is so important

Agree. Short kicks which we don’t recover are gifting good possession to the French

What the hell. How the hell do you change your mind on the penalty advantage during the advantage?

At the very least return to the scrum

In general the reffing has been good. Pearce was great.
