[QUOTE="Amiga500, post: 487571, member: 56767"] I think the blitz defence really helps our centres out. It allows our guys to make contact on their terms - rather than letting the opposition runners gain momentum and make the hit on the terms they want. A massive difference if your a smaller man. How many times in the past have we seen BOD charge up and empty a big runner before he gets moving? With Sexton at 10 - who is probably the best tackling fly half in the northern hemisphere, if not the world, it is crazy not to use the rush defence as a dog-leg back inside is not really a good option for the attackers. Hopefully the same tactics as against France will be used tomorrow - while the Scottish backs have improved with Laidlaw coming in - put them under heavy pressure and see if they can deal with it.
