Nigel quoted in the swep, talking about our munster hooodoooo and problems in the scrum. This fills me with some hope that we may actually get some forwards!!!!

Our scrum is a huge concern," admitted Davies. "The set piece has been an Achilles heel for us. The one thing you have to hold onto and rely on is your set-piece and ideally you also want to take something away from the opposition.

"It is not something we have done consistently well in either case and it is a huge factor in us losing some of the big games this year.

"For me, my primary focus in terms of recruitment, is moving our game forward in that area."
everlasting ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Well that's positive, only the second time Nigel has said anything about recruiting, with the other reference to bringing in a couple of second rows when quizzed about Carrizza. 

Recognition of the problem is one thing...solving it is another thing entirely!

It's encouraging to hear we're focussing on front five forwards who can deliver a solid platform for us to play off.
