we're leading but that's a really poor half in a lot of ways, lots of mistakes.

Over all I am impressed how much quicker the ball is recycled under Jones.  We have some average players though, two of which scored.

This is the key change he's made, we get numbers to the breakdown quickly.  Lancaster had us standing out and it meant we rarely got turnovers and we gave away far too many against the good sides.  Jones was right to not make huge changes in personnel and instead concentrate on style but I think the changes with the players need to come in the summer, there's 3-4 of this team who are lucky to still be there.

Piss poor defence from Brown there, Nowell got him out of jail after he sold himself far too cheaply.

I can't quite understand how we're leading here, far too many mistakes.

Is it naive to think we should get stronger as the game goes on because we have a stronger bench?
Bit too close this.

Should be, Youngs needs to be a step up on Care tohugh because that's been our biggest issue so far.

there we go, someone shows the brains to give Watson the ball in space and he scores.
