It may be harsh to single out a scrum-half playing behind a beaten pack, but Griffen's performance did his side few favours.
One horrible box-kick went straight to Clement Poitrenaud and killed a promising attack stone dead, while his service was hesitant.
Found himself replaced by Alessandro Troncon late on, and it was no surprise.
Our verdict: COLD
606: Can Griffen recover?
