Whilst I agree fast attacking rugby is easier if your pack is on top it's foolish to take on a more dominant pack up the middle if your forwards are busted and under sized.

Last season for large chunks we was missing our big men in the middle and our coach said after every game we was lacking our middle men yet we still tried to play one man rugby up the middle. It was ridiculous to watch. We appeared to have no set plays, no dummy runners and seemingly no plan.

If you are playing against bigger, stronger forwards you have to move them about a bit.

When people say they want a better brand of rugby it doesn't mean throw it about like a hot potato willy nilly it means play to your strengths, look like you actually worked on something thru the week and have a plan to target the opposition's weaknesses.

When we played the ball last year not once did we have a player moving prior to the ball being played. Everybody stood still. How are you going to break a defence down that way?

Hopefully the new regime will bring some new ideas to the table at least.
