So the passing has definitely improved since the latest patch, but still needs worked on, as the following video shows. Winger makes a break and is being chased down by the 15, so I try to pass to the supporting runner just before the winger is caught, but despite the 12 being right next to him, it's passed to no-one and hits the ground. Its little things like this that are very frustrating!
Also knock-ons seem to be happening a lot more now than they were pre patch. I'm almost at the stage of turning knock ons off, as I did with forward passes, but then I would get no scrums at all. Definitely need toned down a bit, or include sliders for knock ons and forward passes.
Finally the AI seems to become almost invincible in the last 5 minutes, especially if they are 7 points down or less, bursting tackles, never losing a ruck, never knocking on, I've had loads of draws and last minute losses
Thanks for providing your feedback on the passing @deker79 !
