Who is telling him to get to a breakdown and spend 30 seconds summoning in forwards to flop around the ball then pass to the one spare forward standing still? Why does the first receiver take the ball standing still 10m back from the breakdown and pass the ball to someone standing still next to him? Why can't the players and coaches recognise a dismal performance after a match and cut through the BS and be honest with their answers? Who cares if we won 90% of our lineouts and stole some of theirs? We couldn't use the ridiculous amounts of possession we won/were gifted anyway! I enjoyed watching Wales much more than England and was cheering harder for them to win. It'll probably be the same when Ireland play - inventive players giving everything for a captain & manager that they respect.
