I didn't realise England's right hand side defence solely consisted of Watkins. Considering it was Gale who got done it might be they're targeting him.

But they have targeted both his inside and outside. He is the common factor in their point of attack.

Bennett's England so far is the worst and flattest I can recall in a long while.

So Scotland, like NZ, are targeting Watkins defence - successfully.

Just checking the blame Watkins brigade is in full effect.

Don't worry about the fact that Gale made the misread, or that McGilvery dropped off his man, or that NZ actually DIDNT score down that side last week.
Any try a team scores on our right hand side is Watkins fault.

(fellow confused Leeds fans, we have to join in this pointless scapegoating or we might have to come to the reality that England as a whole still aren't good enough)

We literally attack with no dummy runners, it's so easy to defend against. Although England have started to look a bit more up for it, they've looked for the first 30 minutes really placid.

My prediction for the next match tonight - Australia to beat NZ by 25 points plus.

We are also not going attack for attack, we are attacking one side then running it in then attacking the other side. This means we are giving the opponents a chance to recover and get their numbers right in between legitimate attempts to score.

Australia will rape us next week, it's not even funny.
