[QUOTE="corny, post: 834832, member: 72368"] The back moves? I don't know if you call what we were up to in the first half 'back moves' but the play was tragic in its execution. Two dummy runners, pass in behind, rinse, repeat. The only problem was the Scottish defenders were laughing at the would be carriers and picking up our pedestrian runners at ease. Shocking stuff. You try these 'innovations' against Georgia or Tonga. Henderson shouldn't be starting. He's a strong lad, he carries brilliantly but he doesn't do what second rows should be doing. Hits no rucks, isn't a good jumper and frankly his work rate isn't high enough. Fills a highlight reel and great presence off the bench but has to start ahead of him. Backline are still ****. Bubble burst a bit for Ringrose (he has time on his side though) and Earls is a poor defender when things get sticky. Zebo wants to play 12/13 and rarely keeps his width and we've no player in the team with genuine pace. Only ourselves to blame. The first half was one side playing test match intensity rugby and another side working on moves like they were out for training run. Not to take away from Scotland mind you. They'll be hard beaten all tournament imo. The second half was ferocious stuff from both teams. [/QUOTE]
