[QUOTE="Zed, post: 1139377, member: 38503"] England/Borthwick have lost sight of what rugby is about and are being way too clinical. You need a gameplan, you need structure, but ultimately it should be down to the players to determine how they play the game. Follow a specific strategy, but loosely. They should still be playing instinctively and playing what's in front of them. It's on here, we're having a go... I get the impression they are box-kicking, for example, because that's what they've been told to do, not what they think they should do. Way too robotic. Ireland's first try, came from an England box kick; why would you give the number 1 team in the world the ball on the halfway line when you have possession, even if it's in your 22? Surely the players would be scratching their heads, questioning the tactics. You do that at club level, you're going to get your arse chewed by the forwards. [/QUOTE]
