relying on flashy backs is Link's doing with the reds, he could see they didn't have any forwards and papered ove rthe cracks. It was successful for long enough to get him a Wallaby gig, interestingly, he's now looking to use a more rounded game. Even with masses of ball in hand and keeping it away from our strike weapons (did you hear that? I genuinely used the term strike weapons) they couldn't match it with us.
They avoided the breakdown, ran around in circles, played flashy, ball-in-hand rugby, which is what you want to do against a team tthat has you beat in the forwards, but they weren't good enough. With our forwards winning breakdown ball virtually at will, they were always going to struggle, even with their pet ref ignoring Cheese getting mugged in the second minute and binning Gus for making such a strong tackle that he didn't have time to wrap his arms around. I'm really liking the fact that I can bitch about the ref and we still come away with the win.
Does Tommy have enough money left to float a book on whether Garra Williamson gets the sack next week!
