[QUOTE="big ginger 8, post: 887395, member: 53057"] Think people are really underplaying a number of things that impacted the attack. The conditions were terrible, seriously how often do you see more intricate play when it's ******* rain, especially at international level? The refereeing of the offside line was also very poor, there were time where we were trying to do moves but we couldn't get them started because the French defence was in our face by the time the second pass was about to take place. With a new coaching staff and combinations there was also no tape on this France side. We had not real idea about what type of defence they would employ and where they would be weak. In international rugby where the margins are so small, this is very important. Finally the French aren't getting enough credit for playing a very organised and committed game in defence with a lot of pride at home.
