I still think we are missing a big 12
Or a Lawrence
Or a Lawrence
Or mix it up a bit. A few chips over the top to keep the rush defence honest.
Damn, lost Hutch and Furbs. We aren't looking very good and losing put to the choke tackles
I would like to see us kick the corners more, exert pressure on their lineout in their 22
Amazing turn over on the line
But before that a real wet tackle by Grayson

Grayson looks uninterested imo, really slow back to his feet after each tackle too.

Agreed.
OK tackling is optional this week
Overall we are looking very lightweight in the backs
Looks like we’ve forgotten how to tackle again

Two poor teams at the moment.
Really need to sort out our 1 on 1 tackling.
With that sleightholme puts in a monster!

Some poor tackling here. Need to go lower and stop allowing them so much space.

Shame we haven’t carried over any positives from the last few games, which would have made those results more acceptable
Cracking turnover by Sam
The forwards need to settle down and start controlling their ball
Worcester are playing well they might run out of steam
Mitchell, Painter, Waller and others need to start tackling hard and around the legs, stop messing about

That is a brilliant finish by OS!
It's clear why Sleighthome, Dingwall, Freeman and co get more game time than Grayson, their hunger and commitment is streets ahead of grayse.
Worcester the dominant team.

Really impressed with Oli S
So much fight and dog
Great try
Very unlucky with penalty against when jacking

What a strange comment
Game time more restricted by having a 90 cap Wales fly half ahead of him more than anything else

They are, slight possession Advantage but or missed tackles in midfield mean they have carried way more. What has helped are our 5 turnovers.
Hope Furbs and Hutch are okay
I agree Krige.
Not true Walks, Furbank was preferred for 3 games
I said this week that Grayson didn't show the right levels of passion until the last 2 weeks. For some reason he has gone into his shell again.
Come on Jimmy, grab the bull by the horns second half - you can do it!

When Biggar was away for the past two months and Boyd preferred Furbank at 10?
Nice try at the end, well finished by Sleights. He is having another good game, I'm impressed with his work in defence and also thought he was unlucky to be penalised earlier.
Not a great half, probably a bit fortunate to be 8 points up. Need to firm up some of the defence, go low and hard. It was a good kick by Alex that set up the platform for us to score, would like to see more kicks pinning them in the corners. Bench looks handy this week, let's hope it adds some impetus

Looks like we have the edge in the scrum but Lawrence has looked imperious in midfield for them. I think we’ll be lucky to win this one as they can’t continue to butcher the chances they get. Great improvement in our defence in the last few games. Hope we score next - that score will be crucial.
Great aggression by Dingwall
Don't suppose the commentator happens to be a Worcester supporter? Certainly sounds like it

You forget to mention you were only talking about the past few weeks!
Not playing well = lacking commitment or hunger? Jesus!!
Young lads firing again!!! Class from TC and freeman.
Freeman is looking to the manor born. Excellent skills and for Mitch to not rush with the pick up.
Awesome Tommy Freeman!
The lad is a class act

Unbelievable skills from Freeman
Freeman more than redeemed himself for his initial drop, what initiative!
What a try - outstanding kick in from Freeman at full tilt
Great kick again by Tommy.
Won't be long before eddie picks him up for the shadow squad imo.

And an excellent kick there too - great heads up play finding the space

He's has over 50 caps so he's had a lot of opportunities to nail his shirt, but still others preferred at 10 over him.
Who said that? I don't see his hunger at the same (or close) as others no, not said he's playing badly, he's had little influence generally.
If Eddie is intent on rebuilding England he really needs to look at Freeman and Sleights. The youngsters are showing incredible skill
Freeman is going to be something special
Amazing rugby brain and skill
Ok catching needs some work

Do you have any info on why furbank was picked over Grayson? To my mind, Grayson may not have been available and at his best at the time.
I thought the comment re: hunger was a little strange. He seems well motivated to me.
Lets go for the kill now boys!

Yessss!!! Wheels from Sleightholme.
Another fantastic try

But now is the time to be patient and let the 4th try come. Don't press.
Much more clinical this week.

Well, we know he was available and Boyd alluded to the fact he had stuff to work on and had been out of the team environment for a little while.
No issue with you thinking he has hunger, I think comparatively he lacks it and is quite inconsistent week-to-week.
Good call to take off waller, he's put in a hell of a shift in defence but just starting to tire.
Far too frantic
Like my kids having too many E numbers
Come on saints
Calm patient play
Let’s not cock this up

Agreed Dee, just kick it long there, get out of our half
Harrison, Matavesi, Nick I and Ribbans really are star week-in-week-out performers.

Very unfair on Harrison
Yellow for that?! Is that the right decision?? Really?
Thought Ashton should have had yellow and Harrison nothing.
Dear me a yellow for that- really?
That's really fine margins. Harrison could have gone lower, but that's a tough call either way.
Great charge down
Then a bit of basketball
Try Piers

Tommy Freeman might be the most talented player at the club, he plays like a kiwi
Oh Freeman, behave! What a pass round to Grayson. Collins nails those kick chases every week. Lovely try for the backs

Agree. Some absolutely lovely touches today - very exciting when he gets the ball. He is going to be quite some player
Let Big T go at the end of the season, split his salary and give half to Sleightholm and half to Freeman. Long term contracts, they are the present and the future of our backs. Both outstanding.
Oh Buckby
See we’ve got our first choice 9 on 🤣🤣🤣
Pity it’s on the wing 😳

Definitely should be in the starting 15. Getting spoilt for choice with back 3 options now.
Paul Hill's eyes lit up there but he forgot we weren't playing Leicester!
See Hill practice the Samoan sidestep
Hill had white line fever.
