These are entirely the wrong games upon which to form that judgement though

Both given the calibre of the opposition and our disrupted pre-season.

If we are still showing the same after the international break, until then though I think we need to show some restraint before jumping to conclusions.

Next week v Leicester should be slightly easier with all possible results on the table, could do with at least a point and a good showing to take us into the break.
