his setup in terms of the shot clock as well like he timed out on a kick uh against cast uh for munster back in january and very nearly timed out on one that he actually got and we're seeing that as well at the moment that he's letting the shot clock run down to like the final second like is that putting more pressure on him is that part of his routine not quite being in flow

The penny hasn't dropped with that, even for players throwing the ball away or whatever.

Yeah, I think Italy's challenge is going to be a bit like Scotland getting back up to that height after beating England last weekend.

Crowley's kicking technique | Ireland's new depth | Scotland's mentality

Now, to be fair, they seemed pretty cool, calm and collected as if they almost expected to beat England last weekend, which was such a departure, obviously, from previous years.

But I think Wales, it probably means more to them.

And I think that counts for a hell of a lot.

Crowley's kicking technique | Ireland's new depth | Scotland's mentality

And like I said, I think they'll have taken a lot from the Ireland game last weekend.

Can England be any worse?

Indo Sport

But if England start well and the crowd get on France's back, Mads, as you know, that could be a very tricky night for them.

I think Scotland being without their first two choice locks, I think is a massive blow to a pack that really need to have everyone on board.

And like I said, that weakens what they can bring off the bench as well.

Indo Sport
