I'm quite mad that Woud has started the last two games. It borders on professional negligence when you have a Crocombe available.
Since then we have had Sweden, Australia and Greece. All top notch sides.
For me I thought the performance was pretty mixed, we looked decent going forward in bits but at other times Wood got isolated, once he went off we couldn't make much stick with Waine and co. Defensively we were better in the second half, but got opened up too easily in certain first half spells, poor game from Woud didn't help. Got to feel if we had one of those pens awarded or found a goal it would've made it a different game.
They're trying to play out from the back and be progressive with possession, but sometimes the options aren't there and the team familiarity is lacking. Remembering that 2026 is the end goal, these are very much building games as much as that frustrates the casual viewer.
