It seems they know how to have us hearing footsteps even when there aren't any. The silly thing is our defence seems to stand up very well against them, or at least it has in all but one game.
I thought our midfield was ordinary last weekend, they won plenty of the ball but subjectively I think the efficiency would be well down.
Overall, I think we have become way to predictable when we are playing Nthmond in recent years. I can't count how many times we chose to kick to the Rance option, by the end of the game I was mocking us by calling the kick to the Rance zone before it happened! Even when we had options open across the field we kicked to Rance.
