    Really? Didn't give much up in meters and it's not like they got through on a clean break.

    What a tackle Niyi!!!

    They've missed a fair few first up tackles

    That's bloody woeful... Two terrible set piece executions with an exceptional stop sandwiched between.

    Well is it tackles or defence? Because that's two different things IMO.

    Bit too close for comfort, Pat needs to give them a bit of a lecture at the break.

    Two good tries but a poor display apart from that. We've had to soak up a lot of pressure and just as it looked like we'd done that we self-destruct. Zebre playing well but we are giving them the platform. Strong words needed at half time to lift us from our slumber.

    Jesus seems a bit pedantic. I consider tackles a part of defence. Maybe I should have some poor defence.

    Your defensive system can be sound but if people are missing straight up tackles, how could you blame your system?

    I didn't mention defensive system, used what I consider to be a broad term of defence. You disagree with that interpretation obviously, we're going around in circles so I'll leave it at that.

    They're instrinsically linked.....a good system is nothing without good tackling and good individual tackling is nothing without a defensive system.

    Heenan seemed to have a cut on the side of his head when the cameras cut to him on the sideline.

    Knee injuries can be very sore, but that really looks awful.
