[QUOTE="goodNumber10, post: 628773, member: 71068"] I think too much focus is put on the Wales attacking game plan "Warren Ball", when actually their trump card in the 6nations has been their defence, and THAT got shredded. I think that's where teams have really figured them out. I think the poor attacking game came from that because suddenly they aren't getting turn over ball, they are playing backwards and things like North's kick etc... to me come from a panicking attempt to get back into the game ASAP - so lack of composure. Wales defend quite narrow with the wingers acting like an extra centre, they want to push you into using a punch group and backing Warburton and co getting in on that. England played a simple attacking plan, they did exactly that on first phase but didn't worry too much about running a punch group off 2nd or 3rd phase instead using the next wave of forwards as blockers and the backs as sliders behind as a spread group. I just think Mike Catt has figured out their defence. [/QUOTE]
