[QUOTE="Zed, post: 1215000, member: 38503"] Nothing wrong with playing 10 man rugby if it grinds out win after win. The problem is you won't beat teams like the ABs or SA playing 10 man rugby. You need to be able to play conservatively and expansively and England can't or won't do the latter. "England have found a little edge over the past couple of games where they have gone behind and it is invaluable experience for these players to bounce back and grind out the win" Did they grind out a win against Scotland? A last minute conversion would have won the game for Scotland and France dropped so many balls, they should have won handsomely. It was a great try at the end by England though. Sometimes teams can blossom after they start having a bit of success, I just don't see this with England and SB. Finishing 2nd, playing this 10 man style of rugby will just reaffirm to him that he's on the right track. [/QUOTE]
