Playing well and it's enjoyable to watch. But we all know how this ends.

Watkins is yet to start this season.

Yeah. Not quite in the present when it matters, not sure what's going on.

One thing that's improved since the set-piece guy came in is the throw-ins. So much sharper, movement into space so much more in evidence.

It’s an open game. Conditioned to think we’ll lose but it is great to see us playing so openly

What’s collectively better is everyone seems to have an idea where they should be in all facets of the set piece game or as the Americans would probably call it “special teams”. It’s always been critical to be good at set pieces yet for so many years we’ve been dire. Not since probably MON have had a good command of that area of the game in attack or defence.

Try Archer instead of Watkins?

We'll obviously lose because we're not allowed to get points off these twats, but the performance has been very impressive again.

We've bossed this second half totally.
