When it comes to formulating a gameplan the first fundamental question is, are you going into matches looking to be hard to beat or are you approaching them trying to win? During my time with England in the Six Nations, the approach was always to be hard to beat and, from what I’ve seen this summer, the coaches have doubled down on that for the World Cup.
Whether you think that’s the right mindset or not, that’s your opinion but they’ll be banking on the fact they can stay in games and manufacture enough opportunities they can take advantage of to build their way through the tournament.
