[QUOTE="MarkyH, post: 960066, member: 73780"] I think that's what I'm trying to get out, I'm not saying we're hiding all our attacking moves, but we're playing a conservative game plan, but I've seen us attack well in games in the last year, scoring from first phase etc etc. Our problem has been preventing trys against and we've done that in our last 2 games, admittedly against weaker opposition, but we haven't even looked like conceding. Even if we halved yesterdays handling errors, we could of scored more, and that is with the same game plan. I really don't get this 'Team A needs to make a statement against Team B' rubbish, especially in game 1 of a WC. And comparing it to a friendly Vs New Zealand is silly, as is comparing Englands result against Ireland. Tonga made so many handling errors vs NZ that it was almost too easy for them. I can't recall a single handling error from Tonga yesterday, they were sharp and superbly disciplined. I guess it fills the gaps between matchdays to have a moan, but I'm happy with the result, even if it was a rather boring, slow game. [/QUOTE]
