[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 803047, member: 72520"] It would be nice to see them mix it up a bit though. This tactic of forwards always carrying tight has made Billy practically irrelevant, teams expect him and any other ball carrier we put at them. Adding a little offloading game to our pack would do much more good than bad, so I think it's work a shot. Especially once we've got athletes like Lawes, Clifford or Harrison on the field. On top of that, our back line is just about the blandest in the world. I don't think I've ever seen us do anything other than kick or just put the ball down the line. No switches, loops, anything, that isn't the kind of thing players have mastered before they're allowed to play contact rugby. Last 6 Nations when Ford and JJ were allowed to work some of their magic together they pulled teams apart, let's get that going again. Don't get me wrong, the tactics we're using at the moment are good, and should continue to be used as they're winning us games, but the odd bit of play would go a long way. [/QUOTE]
