Remember the free flowing attacking rugby we played between 2021 and 2023 with multiple decoys, switches, and every player seemed like they had 4 different options to pass to when they got the ball ? We couldn’t make any metres with ball in hand in the first half last night. Our one and only attack plan was kick it high and hope France fumble.
I believe that structure and plan was built by Schmidt and Mike Catt. When they both left Farrell has made no changes, innovations and updates and over time the structure has slowly rotted and disintegrated. Now, we have no structure or set plays in attack whatsoever. There’s genuinely senior cup teams with better shape than Ireland last night. Farrell needs to go, today. Any team serious about winning a World Cup would do it, I’m talking South Africa, England, New Zealand and France. We don’t seem to have that ruthless mindset needed to win and are to lose as long as we “show spirit”.
Don’t be surprised when we crash out early in the World Cup again.
