“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”
I don’t think anyone is under any illusion that saints are a way better side than us but this is doable, we need to score first, can we play as bad as that again in the second half is my worry because yes we can, we are desperately missing two too class halfbacks IMO, and hopefully that’s fixed for next year and maybe Corey Johnson will kick on
The Leeds pack not living up to their supposed best in the league status. The saints back 3 setting up a platform and Walmsley battering us again. We have had 4 sets in their 25 though where our hooker who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a top team throws aimless looping passes or runs down blind alleys. The unforced errors in our own half not helped either. On a positive note we have generally tackled well.
I think they looked gassed already unfortunately. 10 points in it but I'd be very surprised and impressed if saints don't more than double that in the second half.
