    @ superBul:

    I don’t think it is shine going off as much as a bit of rust after 6 weeks off – at least I hope that is what the problem is ! There was some pretty sloppy ball work – esp from Rokoccoko & quite a few balls lost in the tackle which is not generally a characteristic of SH rugby.

    I agree that was not a shoulder charge – the tackler had his arms wrapped around the guy he was crushing, laws of physics say that is not possible during a shoulder charge.

    Did you see what the ABs were doing wrong in the scrums ? I could not work it out & I want to know if it was poor reffing or if they really were doing something wrong. ABs clearly were not happy with the standard of reffing – & it was definitely standard they had a problem with, they were not saying biased.
