But he is a true professional at all times & that's what counts at the end of the day in this game we love.
If we don't improve at the breakdown we will get murdered by the first decent team we play! Hopefully we are just playing to the opposition at the moment and will improve that aspect and the line out against the top teams.
RSA had no flair to test the ABs in that first game. They went for BOSH in a game thats becoming less about impact and more about pace. Its tough to look past ABs, but who knows if they are peaking early? Defensively, they have only had RSA to contend with (which they did extremely easily). Unless England sort out their discipline around the ruck, and getting kicking boots working, I cant see us giving them a a game. I can see Wales and Australia giving them one tho. A very aggressive, spoiling type of game but with more attacking potential than RSA showed.
@bradders England need to play with their strengths i.e start using the wider channels with players like May/Nowell/Watson and others from the bench for that matter,as you require trys when playing the ABs or it's a lost cause.IMO
Trouble is, that’s playing the ABs at their game. Risky. But I truly hope that’s what happens, if we get that far...how are QF selected: is it pool A and B first v second etc?
