[QUOTE="Peat, post: 590951, member: 42330"] Most of the time this will be fine. I predict against some defences, the drift will be too much, and Bath will simply end up running from one side to another looking for gaps. Yeah, the ball carrying potential of that pack should help alleviate things, but it never does entirely. I would also say the same thing about Gloucester. A lot rests on both Banahan and Twelvetrees to step in and straighten the line - and in the fullness of time, I think Henson will end up starting one of 10 or 12 for Bath, if he stays fit and interested. Also, I'm with j'nuh, making the tackle 5 yards behind the advantage line isn't good enough, and that could end up putting a lot of stress upon the back row to step in and help, preventing them from getting wide or being in place for turnovers. Finally, I'm still not entirely convinced Bath will use those backs properly. [/QUOTE]
