To be honest, I reckon good players will look very good coming off the bench now. With fatigue now in the sim, someone like Eddie coming off the bench against tired players - its no surprise he dominated off the bench. I'm not sure how big an impact this could be, but I'm wondering if Pilgrim looked 'better' as he was coming on against tired legs.
Definitely think that's the reason Morris did better. Expect a solid 10 rating off the bench from me this match.
Pretty rough to get dropped after one match, I didn't play badly and Pilgrim wasn't amazing. Definitely wouldn't have happened in a real test series. If he had outplayed me again in the second test there would be a reasonable case for bringing him in. Feel pretty shafted TBH. Still carn SR!!
Three scrum misfeeds was the clincher tbf. Plus, it will be interesting to see how much Fatigue played into your performance. You might have a stormer coming off the bench too.
