[QUOTE="goodNumber10, post: 660507, member: 71068"] to be fair Wales don't really have the ball carriers to play that front foot game anymore, or at least all the time, on occasion they'll hit their straps - England in 2013, and SA last month for example but most teams know that if they nullify it then they have no secondary process to get past the tackle line - which if your gainline game is faltering is where you have to go. That's where New Zealand play, they don't' worry about the gain line so much, they play the tackle line first in the understanding that if they beat that they'll get to the gain line anyway or at the least move the opposition around. England are heading to to the tackle line game but are struggling to get there as their decision making is poor. that's why the 2nd five is so important to Lancaster, Farrell & Catt as they want to lose the pod system and play the tramlines.
