   I agree with Sean Lynn, he does need some time.
The Scotland games was first up unfortunately and away, so a tight loss is OK.

I expect us to get smashed by France and England, although we stuck in there in the first half against France.

The Ireland games was disappointing, not because Ireland aren't a very good team now, but because of the errors and mistakes we made that meant instead of being 14-0 in a first twenty minutes when we were fairly dominant, we actually were 21-7 down a few minutes after that. Much like the men's team, a few fluffed lineouts in great positions, some basic errors, the inability to make the right decision in attack when tries were on. 

There is still a lack of tackling ability in the backs. At one point the ref praised Hannah Jones for making a big hit when she drove an Irish player back... when in fact she had completely missed her 10 seconds before when she should have hit her behind the game line, and had had to track all the way back onside as the same Irish player made ground, before she made said tackle.

That said, the forwards overall still look good, Lleucu's kicking was better, and Carys Cox looks a genuine threat on the wing. I still think we are really struggling at centre, and heads seemed to go down once the Irish got a lead.

Lots to work on.
