[QUOTE="Jakedood, post: 1022304, member: 72409"] I thin he started after the Autumn, with the way things were being reffed, and there has been a noticeable difference in structure, towards the way the Allblacks structure their forwards around the pitch He's also without the attacks coach he wanted, who's using Zoom to contact the squad.. this is not ideal at all. I think there's enough mitigation not to sack the man, im not saying he's the messiah but he's a bloody good rugby coach and deserves a year to see if there is any progression. If there isnt, I'd imagine he'll not be around too much longer after that Time wise, as I said, I'd reckon he's worked for a month or so, 2-3 weeks on a new structure pre scotland, and a week pre italy on top of that. It'll get there, and we'll see what happens, but I think the criticism is a little harsh over a small sample size. Particularly given its hard to attack when losing the kicking battle and territory battle so heavily, most teams you'll find rarely go more than a few phases in their own half these days I think there's enough mitigation here personally, and not to jump the gun on him [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/2021/02/15/inside-line-2018-england-undergoing-tactical-reboot-five-defining/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/2021/02/17/japans-class-2019-inspiring-englands-1-3-2-2-attacking-revolution/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
