England are so formulaic and they do not deviate from their plan. My pal and I opined that's one of the reasons we rarely smash teams, unlike the ABs etc who will sometimes score 70+. England will rarely play 'what's in front of them' which may be because they feel running tries in from deep with multiple off-loads, high-risk, Vs staggered defence is not going to happen against the stronger nations so it's more beneficial to treat games like training to refine the team's patterns and systems. I don't know but I wish we'd be a little more adventurous; I mean what the hell are we going to do if we go 14-0 in a knockout game?

It was a bit worrying from England today. They had obviously decided on their tactics and the type of game they wanted to play then once the card came they were either unable or told not to alter their play to take advantage.
I also found it slightly ironic that the card was issued against a hit on Farrel for the type of tackle he's got away with in the past.
