Yes Robshaw was the bigger loss. We lost shape in defence and attack (not as much) when he went off. How were Leicester allowed to bring back on their 13?

Smith came back on as a screw up, the officials accepted the mistake and Joe Ford went on instead.

I'm sure Tim would be fine if he had game time actually playing at 10. As it is, young Smith has grown into the position & we do now look very fluent with him. We seemed to lose it today when Robshaw went off, he's the glue that holds us together. Scrums were awful today. Disappointing loss.

Except he had as much pre season as Smith and didn't hit the ground running in the same way.

Er, no. Swiel and Catrakilis both missed pre-season games with injury. Smith & Lang played the majority of pre-season games.

Well, they tend to be fiercely one eyed. They either have a single item they wish to ram down people's throat "JK out" "David Ellis out" "Everyone currently managing the club out" or they're general irritations that just try and post negative stuff to get a reaction. From the title this looks like a "David Ellis out" type, with the "trying to be as negative as possible so we can sack DE" approach. Best ignored if you can.
Just saw the other post on Lambo - well beyond the pale, so gone in this particular incarnation.

A bit harsh I feel. Didn't Swiel put in an excellent performance last year (?) in Ireland

Big fan of Luamanu once he sorted his tackling out. He's carrying is strong and made all his tackles v Tigers.
He's been one of the biggest plusses in 2017 and I genuinely think Bothma will struggle to get the jersey off him when fit.

That's right Rocker, people on here have short memories. Swiel has put in some excellent performances for us before and now he comes on in a game where we were staring to go backwards and it's all his fault!
Start him at 10 for a few games and it'll all be forgotten.
