Hasn’t Field played stand off before?
I would look at switching them. Don’t see the harm, they’ve been pretty ineffective so far

Better end to the half. Leeming and Mago upped the tempo.

We're losing a lot of the collisions in both attack and defence. I'm pretty certain this is leading to us struggling ball in hand constantly getting slow ball allowing the defence to regroup. Only when Mago got some go forward did we get quick ball.

Thompson just about held us together in the opening 30 or so

That’s switch Field to the half’s and French to fullback

Smith is looking for his stand off every time we spin it but he seems out of position.We seriously need a re think about the right wing and stand off positions.On a good not keighran has been much improved and i really think mago scored that try as the defenders hand seemed to come off the ball just before the line

Totally agree FS. If that had been given try on the field, it would have stood. Mago and Leeming made a big difference to the tempo when they came on. We need to go up another two gears after the break and put some daylight between us

much better for last 10-15 minutes

too much easy ball coughed up early on

Keighran looking promising and looks like he has a yard of pace about him (if we can see him in space)

Impact of Leeming and Mago seemed to have stepped our pace up a yard or 2

Imagine if Welsby scored that try instead of Smith. You'd never hear and see the end of it :lol:
