[QUOTE="Peat, post: 803044, member: 42330"] In fairness, the last game mightn't be the best to judge our attack on, as we didn't really ever go through multiple phases. Maybe once? In general though, I think Jones' model is working pretty well. We attack tight because it makes it easier for us to support our ball carrier and generate quick ball, and because it forces teams to bunch up tight to defend against us. Once we've got good ball and their defence is tight and disorganised, we've got two players who can get it wide very quickly and oodles of pace out there. I think we got into a position to do that twice against Australia and it worked both times - can't ask for more than that. Whether the forwards will make the holes against Australia if given ball remains a bit to be seen but I'm fairly confident. Who knows? If Australia hadn't infringed virtually every time we went into their half, we'd have found out. [/QUOTE]
