Don’t forget the other positive in that we destroyed their
scrum. Oh and we won with 5 points and made the game exiting to
the end. We do this so often you almost think it’s on purpose.
After all , winning 50-0 every week is not exciting at all .

Problem with our lineout is the options. Kenningham, Lamb and
Lewies are our main options. Symons and Tizard are used much
less, size and bulk make it difficult. If you only have one
playing then you are only going to go front or middle. Cardiff
should have reacted to this. Can tape as many legs as you want .

Really missed Andre and kenningham at the breakdown tonight, and
ironically it's how we snatched the game at the end with a
turnover. Line out and scrums went really well. Our maul was
patchy at times. Onwards and upwards.

Thought you saw in second half how good Collier is from when he
was off the pitch and we got less go forward. Kerrod is probably
better around the park, but the scrum is really a big weapon of
Quins over past year!

Yes, but kudos to Kerrod, he came up with an excellent turn over
at a very key time of the game. Not a bad player for third
choice tighthead.

That's fair. Although also highlights just how good Wilco is. He
can run and scrum.

He can’t step off either foot like Big Coll can…

TBH, I made reference to the lineout mostly because this has
been an area we needed to improve. Albig is probably right that
Cardiff let us off a bit by not reacting to the lack of variety,
but they were still competing and the timing and accuracy looked
much better.
I didn’t comment on the scrum as a positive mostly because it’s
become such a reliable platform for us when Marler and Collier
(or Louw) is present.
In fact, my worry about our scrum right now is that our entire
front row have put themselves in a great position to make the 6N
squad. On form, it wouldn’t be overly fanciful to have Marler
and Collier starting and Walker should definitely be a contender
to back up LCD and George.
As much as I’d be delighted for them, losing a whole unit -
particularly one that is functioning so well right now - would
be a big blow for us.

Who knows with Jones. His selection policy feels more like
roulette at times.
Collier would deserve it, but presumably his role would as a set
piece specialist off the bench. I guess it comes down to whether
Jones considers him too old, and sticks with younger options.
Walker has been solid, but a lot of options for the third choice
hooker slot. Singleton has been in good form for Gloucester.
Suspect he might stick with Blamire, who's had decent cameos for
England of late. Then there's Dolly who hasn't played much.
