[QUOTE="msf, post: 706767, member: 72153"] Well, I shouldn't but I can't resist, good no. 10. Your points are either wrong or are truisms. The thing about the 13/15 channel is true for all teams, that's why McGeechan talks about getting outside the 3rd defender. A case in point is England's defence against Italy last year, when their 13 had a great game at the expense of Burrell (your suggested option at 13?) And the point about letting Italy have the ball till they make a mistake is only a good one if you play a backline with some creativity/penetration. Otherwise the Italians will keep the ball for long periods, and we won't score enough when we do have the ball to win comfortably. [/QUOTE]
