Quote: PopTart "I agree about the spped and width of play but the thing that catches us out is their standard diamond play when Abdul runs with an inside and outside man, and a man out the back.
We need to cut that ball off early.'"
I never understood why we didn't just batter their forwards into submission.
For me, certainly in the first game at their place, we should have just banged the ball straight up the middle all afternoon.
Maybe it was the 2 early scores that made us think that it was going to be a walk in the park but, they absolutely ran us ragged.
I'm not sure that playing Atkins, who will be way short of match fitness, is the right thing to do.
Maybe we should use an old trick from the round ball game and narrow the pitch by a couple of yards on each side, just to compress the play
