[QUOTE="Geordie, post: 665259, member: 71380"] I worry about our defence....i think we defend too narrowly, but i think our tackling leaves a little to be desired 1-1 aswell...thus it can leave our wingers isolated? Against the 6n teams we can scramble well enough...but against the 3n teams we cant. I also think offensively we leave WAY TOO many chances on the pitch. We actually do create them...we just dont score, we're not clinical / efficient. Manu might be the big name...but he hasnt bonded with anyone (maybe Eastmond in the 1st test)...maybe we should drop him and look for a better "combo". I also want to see a bit more aggressive carrying from our forwards...and a bit more dumb strength. Maybe haskell should make that 6 spot his and let Wood and Robshaw fight it out for the 7 spot. The Lawes / Launchbury combo is top class but with a lack of real bulk on either flank and even the front row not being massive...are we losing out on genuine engine room beasts? Lots of questions.
