Captain Care

What a game of 2 halves. Absolutely inspirational first half
leading by example, injecting pace into the attack, rounded off
with a try-saving turnover on our own line at the end of the 1st
half. For me, the game turned when he elected for the kick at
goal that hit the posts (a decision that seemed to confuse some
of the coaches too). You could hear the crowd audibly deflate
with the decision, which surrendered all initiative to Sarries.
We then stopped playing our ball-in-hand attacking rugby that
has served so well in the past 12 months and tried to outplay
Sarries at their own kick and chase tactics and went into our
shells. I felt the energy levels dropped significantly
(understandable in Danny's case from the effort he put in in the
1st half) and Danny should have been substituted by our other
international scrum-half with about 20 minutes to go to inject
some much needed urgency. I'm sure the lessons are obvious to
coaches and players alike and I'm certainly not blaming Danny
for the loss - but the coaches probably should have seen he was
tiring and replaced him - especially as club captain Lewies was
already on the pitch to lead the team.

From Champs to Chumps. No play-offs this season.

Ah yh I agree! We are now out of the play offs, have lost nearly
all of our games and are barely scoring tries. Dismal viewing.
Don't know why I'm feeding the troll.

Surely Lewies took over the captaincy when he came on?

The urge to box kicks directly to one of the opposition backs,
reminded me of start of last season
Mind you then we wouldn’t have got LBDc needs a rest and will
get one I’d think after next weeks trip to the atmosphere Hoover

I think you will find that Care was over-ruled on the field by
Lewies in relation to kicking for goal rather to the corner
With regards to substituting Care … Quins made that mistake
against Sale when they took Care off when they were 2 pts ahead
and failed to see out the game with Scott Steele orchestrating a
painful series of “pick & gos” inside Sale’s 22 which resulted
in an inevitable sequence of turnovers & penalties which gave
Sale the field position they needed to win the game … no attempt
to go for the 4th try and the bonus point win
Same issue again today … a more positive approach and an attempt
to get the 4th try plus BP might have been the better choice

Yeah, as baggie said the decision to kick for goal was an
“intervention” from Lewies.

Fair enough, I didn't recall Lewies being on the pitch at that
point, but if he was, I stand corrected ! I wonder who was
responsible for the change of tactics to box kicking possession
away - was that also Lewies or a message from the coaches ?
Either way, it surrendered the initiative and cost us the game

Be AMAZED if Lewies had much sway on on-pitch decisions when he
came on...surely Captaincy doesn't work like this???
