He also said that while we don't have many of the said big lumps, we have a lot of very smart rugby players. Hmmmm.
What Rory, like players who call to the back of the line out a dozen times in a row in a howling wind with a 6'7" giraffe on the opposition and the ref showing he will penalise crooked throws.
In the match programmes the vast majority of players list Hendy as the smartest player on the team!
My oul granny would've called simple variations instead of all the movement in the line outs that just effed it up even more.
Never wrestle with a pig. You end up covered in muck and the pig loves it.

Good old fashioned, two straight up if all else f'n fails, we didn't try it once. Sure you get nothing but static ball but at least you win the f'n ball

Not necessarily bigger players, but there is certainly a lack of power in carrying, and also a lack of genuine quality. The recruitment policy allowing that to happen is v poor over several seasons. Against any quality side we lose, the pack isn’t good enough, until it’s sorted we won’t win anything.
