    Why do Sexton and wingers keep kicking the ball around the edge of the 22?

    Because Alex Cuthbert is a liability for Wales

    Hendo having a very good game. Such a physically dominating player and quick feet for a man of his heft.

    Henderson has shown some mutant strength in this half, he looks even stronger again than last season

    given the quality of both, i think so. i really think we are just forcing thinks too much. last few minutes we went through a few phases and made progress.

    As had to be said for the other players in the previous two games, it's their first game of the season. Unless they are absolutely diabolical I'm not going to read much into it, even if it is frustrating

    He has this thing of playfully smacking guys on the cheek like he did on DK just there.

    I'd love to see Henderson and SOB in the back row in the 2nd half.

    Front 10 need to be better in the 2nd half. It'd be nice to see us keep them further up the field.

    Condescendingly slaptapped Dave Kearney when he went to stop him potentially running out of the in goal area

    Well, putting aside those undoubtedly on the plane...

    Winners:
    DK has looked very sharp and lively without doing anything too groundbreaking. North hasn't had a sniff.
    Fitz looking comfortable at centre, tackling anything that moves against Welsh first choice back line. Picked one or two decent lines but was hammered in contact. One nice kick through.

    Losers:
    Earls looking very lively and made a really nice catch on the first kick off but has looked nervy since then and made several errors including 3 knock ons and being beaten on the touchline in a tight space. Will travel as he's too good not to but reckon he's put himself out of the discussion for the 11 jersey in the first team.

    Not sure what to make of White. Probably on the loser list overall as he just hasn't popped up around the field enough, being beaten in defence once at the side of a ruck and the scrum has been a bit of a ding dong battle.

    Yeah they've been poor. POC anonymous too.

    Best performers so far are McGrath, Henderson, Henshaw and the Kearneys. POM has been good too, Luke Fitz has been solid.
