[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 881391, member: 73144"] Agreed, a very good habit to have. But the next step is to kill off competitive games much earlier when we have the chance. That's what the ABs have always been so good at. So true and also helps to have some forwards with fast twitch fibres. Now to get the backs doing it....:) Excellent point. It's not all about turnovers; shame Underhill wasn't around for this one. It was noticeable in WAL vs NZ just how decisive and aggressive the ABs were when they did decide to compete for the ball. I've given you a like, but I disagree on Hartley. That we keep winning and going right to the end of matches suggests that something is very right with our culture. Largely attributable to Jones, but Hartley is clearly Lieutenant in Chief. We only see what he brings on match day, and I think there's been an uptick in his form, but I guess his contribution is much broader than that. More concerned with TH than hooker TBH. [/QUOTE]
