Alan if you can’t win fast ball at the breakdown then your backs can’t get fast ball and get on the front foot and I don’t think there’s any set of backs in the world who will beat one of the other top teams if they give them enough time to organise across the field. Unfortunately we’ve had the same problem for five games and don’t seem to have improved.

agree with all you said David, but we need a few changes including bringing Cipriani out of exile, funny how England couldn't change their game plan from game one, but Italy came out today and played a completely different way and nearly beat Scotland
