The truth shall set you free. As a coach I have thought a lot about the Wales-England game in the last round of the Six Nations and in particular, England’s lack of a Plan B. In itself, Plan B is a bit of an untidy phrase. Like an “in case of emergency, smash the glass” kind of plan. That wasn’t what England lacked. It wasn’t an emergency when the tactics needed to change, just a need to adjust their bearings and find space and opportunity somewhere else to gain back the momentum. Find the scruff of the neck and give it a tug. They might have done that and Wales might have countered that too – the result may have not differed even if changes had been made.
