Feels like a combination of players having time off due to injury and rest, not coming back as sharp as a few weeks ago. (we all called for rotation though so as fans we have to accept that a side effect of rotation can be a lack of consistency.)
The halves are interesting, Lomax has a lot of credit in the bank with some super games.
Richardson has found form and fages also has credit but has a similar skill set to Lomax so could be feeling a bit under pressure to perform, unlike when Richardson was out of the picture due to injury at the start of the season.
A win is a win but other teams will see a chink in our armour, similar to 12 months ago.
