[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 762725, member: 56232"] I guess this is the nail in the coffin for "defences win world cups". As I said, defence is important but if you put so much emphasis on it that your attacking game vanishes then it just a slow, painful slide to defeat. Englands defence in the last 6N was a bit more sloppy but the attacking game improved hugely. We then abandoned all that going into the world cup and crashed out in the pool. The Wales game was the real teller, we were clearly playing to not lose in that game and win by the smallest margin we could get away with. It backfired. [/QUOTE]
