[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 937062, member: 13739"] I really hope we can show a little more in attack v's Ireland. On paper the backline is full of attacking talent, with Hadleigh being the main exception due to his lack of pace. However even then, he's a typical NZer who's fully capable of putting others into space with his excellent basics. If we add Tipuric to that as one of the finest attacking forwards currently playing, then we shouldn't be commenting about Wales' lack of attack! Don't get me wrong, I'd be happy to beat Ireland in a similar way to how we beat England, with disciplined attritional play; however I'd hate to see us lose without firing a proper shot. At the moment we seem to be struggling to get the balance right between defense and attack. In the summer our attack was looking pretty handy, but our defense had dropped off a little from it's usual high standards. Part of the problem may be the faltering lineout. It's often the favoured platform to unleash set attacking moves, but more often than not this championship we've either lost our attacking lineouts, struggled to get clean possession, or had to revert to safe front ball to be safe. We really need an improvement in this area v Ireland. [/QUOTE]
