Gafa seems to have slowed down this year, lost some pace - not that he was the fastest, just does not seem to be popping up as he was.


Also, is it me or are we playing even flatter in attack than last year? May be that is the problem.

On Saturday against Celtic I don't think we stood any deeper than 3 to 4 metres at times - Celtics however where laid of at a good deep angle giving their scrum half time to dictate play.

Oh, and yeeeeeeesssssssssssssss we beat them but it is their defence in the 20 metre area that is letting them down - not their attack. they also seem to tire, the last 20 they looked shattered in the forwards.

Their big problem last week was indiscipline and errors, which may well be down to tiredness. We were getting piles of penalties in the second half, and they kept dropping the ball early in their sets. I can't imagine what the possession split was after half-time.

Helluva compliment. Aussies do watch our games and they must be impressed. He will be a big loss, if he goes. Slow starter but now our biggest attacking threat. He has been our most consistent player this year by miles.
