Oh great, another year of slow starts and excuses. Rennie's already talking about 'no excuses' – classic. Get ready for the same old script: lose first test, blame rustiness, scrape a win in second, pretend everything's fine. Absolute joke.
Can we just once start a season looking like we've actually trained together? Sick of watching us fumble around for 40 mins before remembering how to play.
mate 100% this. always the same excuses. 'new combinations', 'building patterns' – just pick your best team and go!
yeah nah i agree with the article but also france are always tricky first up. remember 2021? we got smoked. so i dunno, maybe we'll actually show up this time? lol
but france are good now. not 2018 france. they've got actual depth. so yeah maybe we'll lose and THEN people will panic lol
7.05pm kickoff? On a Saturday night? Great, there goes my evening plans. Guess I'll be yelling at the screen with a beer in hand instead.

i reckon rennie's got the right attitude. they say the same thing every year but maybe this time it's different? idk, i'll still watch
Slow starts are fine if you win. But we haven't won a first test since 2019 or something? That's embarrassing. Sort it out.
Bloody typical. First test and we'll be making France look like world beaters. Then people will say 'it's just rust'. Nah mate, it's poor preparation.
Prepare? They've had months! This is madness. It's not rust, it's a culture of complacency.
Actual industry worker here - if I started every work week as slow as the ABs start their seasons, I'd get sacked. No excuses.
facts. at least someone with real accountability in here
