no doubt that we will have more opportunites.

On the Attwood thing, more tries are scored on sub 6 phases than when you run up serious numbered phases like that attwood no try(***Edit, or even josephs try). That's why the primary phase defence is so important as if you haven't stopped the gain line there you are just opening up space for attacking backs before your transition defence settles, and this is also why 1st phase scores are the holy grail of attack coaching - they are the most efficient use of space you can have on the rugby pitch.

I guess the point i'm making is we need a more clinical edge earlier on, it'll come, they've played one game together as a 10-12-13 combo and they had no strike runner on Friday - that'll all come with confidence.

The Watson try was off 4 phases, the Joesph try was 20(?) that's quite unusual at this level now, this is why we're seeing so much kicking on early phases, as if the first few phases are not dynamic they will seldom make it to a try scoring conclusion and chose pressure over possesion.
