Botica or Smith?

In both cases you also need to look at the person passing them
the ball at such a crucial time. Ball should never have gone
beyond Niall Saunders, recycle the ball twice and boot it into
touch.

How on earth do players get to the stage of their career when
they are playing top flight rugby and still not know you don't
kick the ball away chasing a score in the dying seconds of the
game? We see it over and over.

I suspect we still wanted to win the game, so giving it to Smith
wasn't a bad option. Smith just made a horrible decision to kick
possession away, then executed it incredibly poorly.

And yet when I started a thread saying that Smith wasn’t ready
to start in the Prem everyone jumped in.
Not an ideal thing to feel vindicated over but still...

Yes, well done. You probably don't need to keep mentioning it,
though.

Saunders made a few bad mistakes when he came on. Needless
penalty for a cheap late hit, pass into touch and kick out on
the full. Useless from Smith at the end, and similar to botica
vs saints, after a poor kick giving away possession, we compound
the error by then refusing to tackle. I only watched the second
half which was pretty dire. LBP, murley break and lasike's
impact the few positives in an otherwise turgid affair.

Assuming we are fairly confident of a home win, then in terms of
pool placings, two points to each side was almost as good as a
win, wrong decision in my opinion.

Players & all the coaching staff should be ashamed of themselves
after that - hope the fans out there enjoy the rest of their
w’end though.

Terrible performance. Looks like last week was just a fluke.

And when i started a thread called Wet Blanket last week you
were the first to ridicule me for me pointing out that Quins are
inconsistent. Remember you're hilarious " Anyone?".
