[QUOTE="stormmaster1, post: 173524"] Welcome to the forum. The up and under is only as good as the chase, and Englands second half chasers were completely absent. In today's professional game the positioning of the back 3 (plus covering scrum half and back row) combined with a fanned out defence allowing players to drop back means that sometimes there is no room to kick easily behind the opposition, but you still get situations with no attacking impetus, so need to kcik. A good chase should result in any ground being gained not being lost to a counterattack aswell as a chance of catching the ball, forcing an error (Balshaw) or turning the player over. [/QUOTE]
