[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 934900, member: 56232"] Also another big issue, the bloody lopsided penalty count again. The amount of ground you lose from a penalty is larger than just about any other mistake you can make short of a clean break. Teams do all they can to ensure clean brakes don't happen but England really don't seem to care about our discipline going to pot. If you are going to base your gameplan on territory and applying pressure through strong defense, you need to have very good discipline or you completely nullify your own gameplan. My pet peeve is compounding one penalty with another almost immediately after and Sinckler was guilty of that. Kruis pulling the arm of the Welsh jumper in their 22 was extremely stupid. If they are in their 22 then let them have the ball, they will most likely kick it out anyway. Accidental penalties are one thing but England have not shaken the habit of giving away absolutely ******* idiotic ones. The team as a whole don't seem to really grasp how much of an issue it is.
