@LawsEwan @Harlequins Looks great

[Paul Batchelor @batchy_3]

@RugbyInsideLine Being able to keep hold of the top players of your country with compatative salaries and bring in internatonal superstars is the ideal. Higher salary cap allows you to do that otherwise you have to have one or the other

[Paul Batchelor @batchy_3]

@QuinsFOTS Dombrant is an amazing player and wouldnt swap him at Quins for anyone but what makes him good for Quins will never translate to England. The ridgid structure England doesnt let him do what he does best.

[Paul Batchelor @batchy_3]

@RugbyInsideLine After the drop kick no4 slams straight into the back of Pollock on the kick chase. Its a tactic to put him off his game. Genge just got a bit caeried away

[Paul Batchelor @batchy_3]

@RugbyInsideLine He is.....on the wing so able to profit from everyone elses work..... LBB is an amazing player but just doing the basics here

[Paul Batchelor @batchy_3]

@quirkfinds_ Except the electromagnet with battery hidden in the base which will eventually run out

[Paul Batchelor @batchy_3]

@gektimbul Seems risky so close to steam with no gloves

[Paul Batchelor @batchy_3]

@BokScrum1211 Good point...his contribution per minute played far exceeds all the rsst. Clear winner

[Paul Batchelor @batchy_3]

@EngRugbyDebate Its the little mistakes. A bad defensive read here, a handling error there which stops him having a complete performance. Compare that to faultless Earl or over-achieving Pollock it makes it close. It is fixable so say its CCSs shirt when he can demonstrate a complete performance

[Paul Batchelor @batchy_3]

@Daniflowers20 Oh he is but thats his point of difference and winds everyone up to lose their concetration. Same as Joe Marler...all an act

[Paul Batchelor @batchy_3]

@TightFive_Rugby Yes every team bends rules they can get away with. Point being having highlighted it its no longer going unnoticed allowing England to get one up.

[Paul Batchelor @batchy_3]

@TightFive_Rugby The biggest issue is the backs on the bench add nothing. Bar a like for like replacement (which is equal) any subs will simply result in a poorer back line rendering it pointless

[Paul Batchelor @batchy_3]

@EngRugbyDebate Its about attitude. Most dream of playing for your country but it does limit your options. Clearly the Willis family are not so patrioticly minded. He sees his bro trearing it up in france and really enjoying his time with decent pay packet. Why wouldnt you chose to go

[Paul Batchelor @batchy_3]

@RugbyInsideLine He a class player. England however don't use him to his strengths

[Paul Batchelor @batchy_3]

@Rawdogg15 It's what happens when you let all your squad players go to replace with big money signings that are not yet avaliable. Going to be painful in international windows

[Paul Batchelor @batchy_3]

@RugbyInsideLine Surely that is just great Gas, which your more likely to have at his age compared to later on?

[Paul Batchelor @batchy_3]

@RugbyInsideLine @CharlieFelix Doesn't make much sense. Wonder if his straight talking approach didn't go down well so accelerated his departure

[Paul Batchelor @batchy_3]

@RugbyInsideLine Surely however it means players know what to do. Look at their stats and work on improving weak areas

[Paul Batchelor @batchy_3]

@harlequinspod Showed some grit. Undone by the second half power and some unfortunate injuries. Feel positive we can build from here

[Paul Batchelor @batchy_3]

@ajsrugby @MartWhit Quins have played best with a decent from 5 ( Think influence of Marler, lowe and Lewis when he was fit). If Booth can improve their impact it gives an improved set piece and go forward for Quins to do Quinsy things
