Twelvetrees at 13 is a little curious. I'm wondering when Ackermann Junior is going to justify the hype. He's looked a little underwhelming so far.

Interested to see VRR for Glaws. I'm a big fan of his; he's got something about him in the loose.

12T looked better at 13 all those years ago at Tigers, before somebody told him he had to bosh up the middle.

Glad Trinder didn't get crocked so badly last week; looked sharp. Hope he can get a decent career eventually- though I note with interest he has over 100 appearances for Glaws!

VRR is terrific. Last week he was firmly in control at the scrums and won a couple of turnovers at the breakdown. I rate him very highly.
Wuss do need to show some signs of improvement but goodness that side is so underwhelming.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Wuss are going to be the side who give LI fans some faint hope of avoiding relegation, until the last month of the season.

Well that was nice. Trinder's injuries are a tragedy really aren't they?

Te'o by far the best player on the pitch.

He is good, perfect 12 for England :), but will be at 13 outside Faz. Woodward looked pretty good, but 'chose poorly' on occasion.

Glaws 'game plan' incredibly naive.....

Te'o was a class apart. Some of his offloading is outrageously good.

Terrible opening quarter for Wuss but they pulled themselves together to get a deserved BP. Only fair to say Singleton played well. He looks a different player to the one who looked out of his depth for England in May.

The way Trinder set up 12T was the games highlight. Glaws again a real mixed bag.

Trinder amazingly seems to have retained his pace, very talented player, hope he gets a proper run of games.
Some of glaws back play was excellent, but tactically all over the shop generally

Teo should be starting at 12 for England imo
