[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 930438, member: 72977"] I disagree, I think this has always been England's tactic from Day 1 with EJ. Our first run under him was built around smashing the opponents back. However it failed once teams realised that England didn't commit to the breakdown, preferring to reset their line. This gave quick ball and allowed teams to take the hit, recycle quickly and expose gaps in the England defence. The difference yesterday was Curry. He was the exact player fans have been calling for who consistently disrupts the breakdown. Yes others mix in as well, but it was his job to be constantly challenging for the ball and it stopped the Irish get consistent quick ball to build anything from. He's not going to be there all the time, but he is so much better than any of the 6.5's we've had recently at disrupting the breakdown. [/QUOTE]
