[QUOTE="higgik, post: 1140019, member: 74704"] Ireland use intelligent wingers who attack the line with great angles and, in Lowe good power. Malins and Daly do that for Sarries, but their main task is to put pressure on the catcher. The major difference is what you mention earlier. Ireland kick from a position of stability, i.e. it is when they want to, rather than England who kick to rule. Therefore, the Irish chase is organised to create a favourable outcome, whereas England are hoping to get a mistake, rather than force the issue. This is why I like converting Steward to 12. Then the kick chase could become an attacking weapon, as our best aerial player is in the frontline, alongside another good player in Marchant. Playing Freeman and Murley on the wings would give the power and pace on wing, with Malins as 2nd playmaker at 15. He could add an extra dimension to Smith. His tactical control of the back 3, could create great running lines that Smith would lap up and exoloit. But, as you say, in order for this to happen we need a pack that can give them the ball on our terms. [/QUOTE]
