@AndyBurke_ We’re still a good team but not as good as we maybe thought we were. Caught up in the hype of 5th in the world. The top 4 so much better than us. No shame in that, but expected a closer game tonight… unfortunately future doesn’t look too great based on U20s
@TEnglishSport If we don’t beat Tonga we probably won’t automatically qualify for the next RWC so it’s a huge game. I expect we’ll win comfortably but stranger things have happened. Hopefully Boks beat Ireland so Scot vs Ire we can still qualify for last 8 (stranger things have happened!)
@thistlerugbypod I’m not so sure. Take Finn out and we really struggle (summer tour 22, first 2 games in Autumn and last week against Italy). Recent success may be more to do with likes of Finn and Tuipulotu than Townsend’s coaching. From what I’ve read Finn pretty much leads attack in training..
