[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1012857, member: 72205"] I think the forwards and team are getting into the positions we want them in but our execution is poor. Lets look at it from a taken opportunities Farrell left 12 points out there (one those kicks was mildly hard but you'd expect them to be taken, but also one is ET so we'll say 9). There was the touchline defense so that a potential 7 and we should of got over. Farrell once kicked possession away within 10 meters without penalty advantage. Daly twice failed to draw in his defender by passing two early one was a clear opportunity Watson has the class to finish. There was also one time where Youngs waited an age to get the ball out the ruck whilst he waited for more suport and France set their defense (I can't remember what happened after this). Take France and they took every opportunity they had. So we are placing ourselves in positions to win games and win them comfortably if we had a better strike rate on legitimate chances. And you look at these mistakes and the same names keep coming up in them so it is a personnel problem rather than tactics and the guys not sticking their hand up are not in the forward pack. [/QUOTE]
