We must move the ball quicker, even though pep doesn’t want us to go forward quicker, make them chase the ball and wear them down. I can see where he’s coming from. Get past their line and make them rush to recover, then move back to bring them on to us. I play hockey and there’s nothing more draining than recovery running and chasing spaces.
I would love to see us deliver a masterclass bumming, but I don’t think it will happen. The rags aren’t that naive to go toe to toe and open up. We MUST be careful of letting them run at us into the box, as we all know, a strong breeze will have them over and it will be awarded before the player is on the turf.
Hopefully Farmer GILES hasn’t been grazing his cattle on it this week.
