[QUOTE="corny, post: 891629, member: 72368"] But it wasn't our attack that let Wales back into it. We've scored more than England against Wales and Italy lets not forget. 5 tries against a team who were backing themselves as a strong unit in defence isn't bad. Our inability to hold Wales is just the same weakness thats popped up in all three games so far......we're vulnerable when teams get the ball wide. Wales played simple rugby to the edges and we looked all at sea. Its worrying with Scotland and England on the horizon. I agree we're very direct when we get close to the line though but thats pragmatic. We've very strong carriers who today knew their Welsh counterparts couldn't match them. Stander, Healy or Ryan with 2 yards to go or trust Aki to move the ball with hands? No brainer. The BBC lads are always on about fitness and it irritates the **** out of me. Apparently France aren't fit. No one ever checks this against reality. The narrative says the Top 14 is played at a slower pace so they're not as fit. They push it in every broadcast. They even get the token Frenchman to recite doctrine. For the record i don't see France weakening any more than the other sides in the games so far. [/QUOTE]
