[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 891977, member: 45598"] 31mins on this video shows our ruck possession. (Again good stuff but these guys do set up a narrative and ignore anything that doesn't suit it) [MEDIA=youtube]gM4OqnMruSw[/MEDIA] Again this shows we don't struggle to make metres outside the 22 but we have a lot of rucks inside it, depending on the ref we would have to be a bit more clinical in the 22. Jackson was ok and Barnes should be ok because they're strict on jacklers but when Owens wasn't (And French refs won't be because they allow a battle at the breakdown) we had to fight a bit more for possession and weren't able to score with less structure. I can see the calls for a playmaking 12 returning after that but I'm not sure how effective that'll be with the limiting factor in this regard being Murray's biggest weakness in being slightly slower getting the ball away than the likes of Smith and Perenara and Sexton's which is not being a hot stepper, obviously nothing we can change there but something needs to be looked at and improved, after the inexperience in defence its our biggest weakness at the moment.
