No idea what's going wrong, really like Tony and wish him well.
Our forwards are not right, and having your best two half backs out is never going to help, although Abdull hasn't hit the nights this season.

We're in a bad spot and confidence is shot.

We just don't defend correctly, our line speed is terrible we just don't pick the opposition's play and for God knows how many seasons our defence between second row and centre is appalling.

However, expansive rugby isn't going too well with four points in three matches...

But it’s gone the other way, pretty precipitously.
