For those of you doubting Marcell's contribution, given Fez's attack over missed tackles, the flipside is that he has made more than 25% of our turnovers, 15 of 56, almost 20% of our offloads, 13 of 65, more than 10% of our tackles 85 of 849 & nearly 10% of our carries 103 of 1070.

Yeah, he's missed a few tackles but FFFS a few of you need to wisethefuckingpan. He has also done 80 minutes 3 times and 50 plus in every other game. Sign him up.

Time up and we over throw our lineout givinf Benetton one last sniff.

Sorry but even if the execution was terrible why was anything other than number two jumper straight up not called.

Even if lost at least get a hand on it to swat it back into touch or knock it on and make the ball unplayable.... street smarts lacking.

Haven't seen the match yet, but the past few games I have got the impression we don't throw to two, making it obvious for the opponents put up their number 4 jumper.

The final line out should have been thrown crooked once the clock was in the red. Scrum awarded to Benetton and the game ends, no need to risk losing the line out. Rory Best did it once for Ireland; pure, unadulterated gamesmanship!

And open to a penalty, depending on the referee.
Pure, unadulterated stupidity in the circumstances.

What referee is going to think that Rory deliberately got a line-out wrong? :stir:

Which may have been one of many reasons why it wasn't stupidity when he did it.

Surely one more crooked line-out would have been very believable based on the recent history of our shambolic set piece...

Not worth the risk. Before the law changes on lineouts from penalties after 80' it may not have been such a risk.
