[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1109193, member: 56232"] The impression I get from watching England play is that Jones has given up on any sense of guile or tactical awareness and is trying to turn every player he can into a big boshing unit running off 1 out passing. This is quite in contrast to when he started and made players lose weight and was going for a lighter weight pack. Our entire gameplan seems to be based around forwards running off 9 and hoping they break the gain line, rinse and repeat until we either get somewhere or give up and kick. There is next to no development of transitioning from this to getting the backs involved, hence the backs are often disorganised against a defence that hasn't really been manipulated at all and usually just try to do the same thing the forwards are doing, ploughing into contact. It's Warrenball but ramped up a level and minus the discipline and ball retention ability. It's the sort of rugby you'd expect to see in a school team that has access to players bigger than the other schools. [/QUOTE]
