I agree that the bottom-up approach is best. As for the Welsh love for "rugby": of course union is the traditional game. But I remember matches at Cardiff and the good number of Welsh folk who attended. Also a World Cup match at Old Trafford, where we were next to a group of 8 to 10 Welsh ...

Matt Peet has mentioned on several occasions about "playing behind Harry's kicking game" or similar but I doubt that extends to a deliberate policy of not gaining yards on exit sets. The luxury of having a kicker who, as Kev Brown often says, "puts his boot through the ball", es...

A question for our tactical experts from a mere spectator . . . I've noticed that some of best performances come when we seem to spend much time in our own half and rely on Harry's kicking to get down field. WCC and the semi-final being two examples, Could this be a deliberate tactic? The thinking m...
