The only time we do seem to play expansive rugby is when Noble's tactics of 5 drives and a kick are abandoned by the players. This usually happenes at some point in the second half when we have nothing else to lose e.g Cas match.

Yes I agree one up rugby is needed at some point during a match but IMO the best was to break down an opposition defence is by being unprecticable, something which at the moment we aren't!

The point is when the coaches structure goes out of the window when we are chasing the game we throw it about generally looking like headless chickens and throwing wild panic balls hoping someone will find a gap.

What i find most interesting about this is that generally it seems to pay off and we do put points on the board, add some structure to this and i think we may well see a half decent attacking team, the balls seem to stick when we take a chance, if we had structure to this in the gameplan i am certain we would be a much better team.

We drop a massive ammount of ball playing 1 out as it makes it easy for the defence to force the error, but the skills of the players are there to see when we chase the game, why Noble cannot see this and allow them to incorporate a planned attacking game is beyond me.

and me too.

Yep. Thats about the nuts and bolts of it.

Playing with 2 sevens clearly isn't working, nor having a back row lacking a creative player.

Nail on head thats what i was getting at. thanks for that.

Very true...I hadn't thought of that!
