[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1083753, member: 56232"] I'm also not convinced we can say our forwards necessarily did well. Too much of our ruck ball was slowed down still whilst we again failed to slow down our opposition ruck ball. Our forwards would all just back off and let our opposition come at us as fast or slow as they wanted. This is a tactical decision most likely and not a fault of the players. Our forwards rarely manipulated the opposition defences and our insistence on still using telegraphed 1 out runners highlights a serious lack of tactics across the whole team. We were woeful at manipulating defences. We also still defend narrow and leave our wingers out to dry. Other teams have seen and regularly exploit this but we still do nothing to remedy it, even as it is literally losing us games. The fact Jones isn't adapting to this, even as every team know that moving the ball wide fast will get them around England's defence is a major and consistent tactical failing on his part and the defence coaches he hires (assuming they have any autonomy under him).
