[QUOTE="InsaneAsylum, post: 694677, member: 13203"] frustrating to watch as a Wallabies fan but we've effectively been found out and it's blindingly obvious why but for some reason it gets swept under the carpet by those who can actually effect change on the team. England's game plan was simple, use up and unders with one or more chasers, go for the scrum as often as possible and use the rolling maul at the lineout as much as possible. not rocket science but exactly how ireland beat us a week ago. every wallaby scrum went backwards, sideways, up or down and resulted in a penalty. every maul resulted in a penalty for offiside or pulling the maul down. The Wallabies insisted on playing "running rugby" and england just kept kicking it back to them and trusted their defence which was solid. i think it was rod kafer who said during the game "the wallabies are trying to play super rugby against england but it doesn't work at test level". the wallabies will continue to be useless until 1 - 8 is sorted out.
