But there was three players from beyond around the ball and it bounced back to Fernandes to dot it down under the sticks.

And the last try was a line-out that went astray that Shane picked up on and they scored.

So there was an element of luck around the three tries they got.

I think on another day, you might only get one of those.

And, you know, they don't win the game if that happens, really, I think.

But I do give them a lot of credit for that kind of... They've got that workmanlike attitude around them at the moment.

So when they're in tricky spots...

They're digging in and they're finding a way out of it.

So I'm not trying to take anything away from that front.

But I think that result could have probably gone the other way if luck hadn't shined a little bit of light on them.

It might sound harsh, but I just think that they have to admit that if they're going to lift the trophy this year, they have to shift...

probably in two directions.

They have to shift defensively and become better and they still have to shift on the attack.

They're still being very confrontational with the ball and very attritional.

And they don't need to be because you see them sometimes when they decide to let it rip, they are extremely good and very dangerous and they do tear teams up a bit.

But I'd like to see more of that from them and less of the confrontational stuff.

And I still have reservations about their D. I don't think they're really tested by on as much as they would be by we saw at La Rochelle.

I think their defense is a very aggressive defense.

You watch the line coming up, there's guys coming up and they're always told to shut off the outside.

Don't let the ball get outside you because if the ball gets outside you, you're in huge trouble and we've seen that happen.
