[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 782133, member: 72205"] My eyesight was bad last night (appears I didn't line thing up right) Kruis I meant not Robshaw. All of which I struggle to think how Columbia can describe Haskell as being exceptional. Robshaw use to make like a bajillion tackles but we found out in the end we needed a proper openside and we just traded one guy for another that does the exact same thing. As an aside I noted I didn't remember player getting isolated then I looked at out backline attacking stats....6 defenders beaten and 3 clean breaks all match (5 of which came from Nowell). Here's where I think the issue is George Ford makes 20 passes, Care and Youngs make 64 (of which Youngs make 29 so not sure what the hell Care was doing for 60 minutes) so we're clearly giving it to the forwards possibly a bit too much. The problem comes further midfield Farell 4 passes he's not a Tualangi type he should be passing the ball on more Joseph has similar stats of 3 and Brown also has 4. TBF Farrell has similar stats to Burrell last year in the corresponding fixture last but with similar passing stats from the scrum half you see the backline getting it way more and shipping it amongst ourselves. I know there are conditions and what not but we do seam to regressed in backline potency a fair bit from last year (it was also evident in the world cup) and we do need to address it a little.
