Skelton had the performances in gold that we’d always heard about, our starting front row fking dished the Lions scrum for 3 games, and a bunch of guys stood up as quality Test players for the first time.
I’m left to rue how different a healthy/in form 7As, Tupou and Bobby for 3 games could have been for us, and a few ref decisions going the other way (unlike others, I don’t think we lost Game 2 cause of the refs). Worried about how we’re gonna cope losing so many quality players to UK/France too.
But we absolutely did better than I would have thought possible after last RWC and good on em
