[QUOTE="Jakedood, post: 1027411, member: 72409"] A couple of responses then... one of the big things is the fact that england arent going in saying we can do this, then we do this, then that. It's about having options every play, and teams being unable to cover all of the options, with variety and players hitting from all sorts of angles to create mismatches. No defense is impenetrable, and England are trying to build an arsenal that allows them to "attack any weakness within one phase" as he puts it. So now its about putting it into practice and better spotting when the opportunities come along. Eg the all blacks have a remarkably similar template of attack for 10 years, still knew that it's damn difficult to stop when they were at full pelt Secondly, you say fitness, but this doesnt have to mean weight loss, or underpowered, you can build your stamina big time while eating big to maintain your weight and strength. EJ also didnt say we're playing like Japan, he said we want to find that right balance of pass run kick, with a strong set piece and the ability to score behind it Japan 2019 is an example of a team with a great attacking phaseplay, and at no point did they say we are playing like this team, but incorporating their strengths into the English talent pool, doesnt really seem like such a bad move I'd think you maybe could be right re youngs, though he is starting to look a lot better at this level when he's playing at a higher tempo, we've seen that last two games so lets see if he can develop some sort of consistency from here on. I'd definitely agree that Randall is the heir apparent [/QUOTE]
