Nought wrong with Flanno.

A very decent, solid and hardworking player.

I think he has had a good season.

He reminds me of Hooper but Hooper had a bit more about him in attack certainly and when you look back was very, very good for us.

Plus the opposition hated him which was great for us!

nice little kick for Wilkin's try yesterday.

Agree with all the other comments - a solid dependable head with some good experience, who we miss when he doesnt play. Doesnt stand out as a creative attacking force, but doesnt make mistakes and is no doubt helping the next generation of back rowers to develop their games.

Really pleased for him yesterday when he got his try.

He played really well again yesterday, good going forward, strong defence as always, and a great kick for Wilkin's try near the posts.

If Sunday's performance was an indication of this 'more to come' then I'd rather they leave it wherever it is at present! There were times when we were totally dire and the only reason we had chances to score some fabulous tries was that the Bulls were knackered at the end of each half and their scrambling defence was hopeless as a result. They were knackered by Faz, who did seem to have upped his intensity! Other than that I saw little difference from almost every other match. Except for the indiscipline, which was very much up on previous matches. I don't want to see that kind of intensity in anymore games, thanks.
