Funny how the policy is now paying dividends for our opposition!'"
But we were losing and playing absolutley terrible rugby.
Once we were back on our feet, perhaps we'd have been well advised to try just a couple of tinkerings, Gaskell to #6 and Hohaia to #1, for example, or perhaps give Makinson or Swift a go at full back, but I get the impression that Rush was happy just to stick with a game plan that he knew would win the majority of games and I don't think that is going to change. He's an interim coach, don't forget, so I can imagine his main objective is to keep things rspecable whilst we all look forward to a bright new era under our next proper coach. If he finishes third, especially after the position when we started, then I can imagine he'll be quite happy with himself.
