Matt Dawson: England’s six nation gameplan leaves them weak

Ireland turned away from England, scoring 22 unanswered marks over several minutes in the second half.

This is not the first time England has faded in the second half. It was a feature of his autumn defeat by New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. I think it has two aspects.

First, his gameplan is demanding a lot. Perhaps there is a lot of demand.

In defense, they come with a lot of line speed, step after the phase. Then in the attack, they are focused on transferring the ball, including forward and back. It can feel frantic and frantic, burning through energy. It is certainly extremely ambitious. Finally I think they pay for it at the back end of the games.

There should be someone who calms the team and sometimes, exit the match. At the moment, they are prepared for this all-action plan A, which is effective, but it is very difficult to maintain during 80 minutes without a bench that the initial team has done can be repeated.

There was a stagnation in the second half, when Ireland was ahead, but the game was still in balance, during which England players were standing all around and two conversations, instead of that they could come back and where they back Can meet, working there in Ireland.

Each team has to face those moments and it is up to eight and half-and-a-back number, as the captain made everyone together to make a strategy and bring them to the same page.

As I said, the second part of Peter’s tendency out of England’s game should be part of the solution – replacement.

I felt that Finn Smith added to England when he came in the last 15 minutes. There is something about him. He is the supremely composed and always chooses a good option to pursue the team in the attack.
