We've traded depth for a stronger starting pack. The easy fix is pick weaker packs some of the time and let the backs go out and win.
Whisper it, but I think that our weakest pack is better than most of the URCs best pack.
Dragons pack much disagree.
In fairness I think our pack still looked stronger than theirs. Although not ideal for that to be in question against the dragons.

Very happy with the win. Cagey start and then we got into our groove. There was one piece of play in the first half from a restart(or maybe after they scored and they kicked long) where we took it in our 22 and went to the right before working it back to the left down to their line and nearly scored. Think it was a larmour kick ahead they had to carry into touch.

Everyone seemed to be looking to get hands free and checking if the offload was on throughout the match. We mostly made the right decision too which is encouraging.
Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014

Not sure if it is same try but I remember thinking Molony shunted the maul forward pretty impressively for one of the tries. Hebis having such a steady trajectory of improvement at this level.

It also took two Scarlets players to take him out of the maul originally. He rejoined straight away, leaving the two Scarlets players doing nothing

This reminds me that charging from 10m away and tackling a maul seems to be A ok at the moment.
