I agree with the questions asked over our ability to score points, I just don't think it'll be a worry long term, three examples of losing games in the space of two international periods for the same reason will be looked at. This time last year Schmidt was criticised for not capping new players after the RWC, he quickly fixed that and apart from the back three and maybe a few bolters here and there I'd say that the entirety of the next RWC squad has been capped, definitely the guys who'll be in and around the 23. Schmidt is a smart man, he has said in the media that we aren't a predictable team and for the most part he's right. Once we hit the 22 we don't have a lot, Murray is too slow and Sexton is too flat to go wide against rush defences we need players who can create and take advantage of gaps in midfield or we need Paddy Jackson but he doesn't match up anywhere else on the pitch. I hope we see Byrne and Sweetnam and a new 15 in Japan and New Jersey, if we're still playing the same back three in Autumn I'll start asking the same questions you are but until this six nations I don't think these problems were the glaringly obvious ones. In last year's tournament we simply couldn't get any good territory, that's been fixed, the next challenge is to start using this territory, we can do it but names in the 1st XV need to change to make it consistent.
