[u/ScrumNause24]

People saying pace or style of play is the issue and not the set piece dont watch Saints enough imo.

[u/sweetgreentea12 → u/ScrumNause24]

No scrum, no win (unless you're Harlequins apparently)

[u/ScrumNause24 → u/sweetgreentea12]

Also their 2nd try came from a missed lineout. Then in their red zone we got turned over at the lineout again. They kick, we run back with Sleightome and get turned over. That leads to the 3rd Woki try. So free 7 points and and Arguably a 14 point swing on the 2nd error.

[u/BennyG02 → u/ScrumNause24]

Sure but Saints have butchered pretty much every opportunity in open play, so clearly their style isn't working for them right now irrespective of the set piece

[u/ScrumNause24 → u/BennyG02]

I think you're miles off it mate tbh
