I have to disagree, not with going for the lineout (although a successful kick would have kept us one point ahead of Wales in the table becuase of our bonus point against Fiji) but throwing to the front of the lineout, it's so easy to defend and the at that stage we didn't need the touchline to be a 16th Welshman but that's what we made it. It was a brave decision but very poorly executed. I aslo disagree that we lost it, Wales came out in the 2nd half and decided to attack the 13 channel (Brad Barritt outside centre) as they had had little joy runnig at Burgess, 12 channel, inside centre. Barritt missed 4 tackles I think, at least 2 of those AFTER Burgess was subsitiuted for Ford. Ford still made the tackles but they were 5 to 10m further back than where they were when Burgess was on the field, this resulted in the Wales backs having far more momentum and pace by the time they arrived at Barritt who we all know has no pace, they ran at his inside shoulder, turned him and the rest is history. Lancaster must accept the responsisbility for lots of reasons, firstly imo he omitted the wrong centre from the squad in Luther Burrell, Barritt should've gone. To make things worse he then put Ford on the bench and replaces the man he originally selected because of his physical presence (Burgess) The very reason he dropped Ford for Farrell was to counter the Welsh physicality. Bizarre.
Fair play to Wales though, they wanted it more and they got their just reward. Well played.
