The Anatomy of a Try: Boffelli vs England November 2022
If there were two major differences between England and Australia it was probably Argentina’s bravery in attack and their composure under pressure in a sodden, muted Twickenham. In the pouring rain, no one should have expected a high-scoring game. No one should have expected a low kick % game and no one should expect a team to pull off one of the best strike moves in recent memory to score off 1st phase ball. For a while now...
The Anatomy of a Try: Max Malins vs Leicester Tigers October 2022
The first thing most will look for on a fixture list is the rematch between last year’s finalists. On paper, it’s the game everyone looks forward to, the settling of a grudge the proof the final was or wasn’t a one-off. Be it Players or fans alike, who doesn’t like the settling of a grudge?

But, if there is one thing we know about Saracens it is that, much like the Borg, they learn, adapt and execute like very few other teams in Europe let alone the Premiership. From 17 points down they took the...
The Anatomy of a Penalty Try – Scotland vs England 2022 Six Nations
It can, of course, be a great leveller but it’s very seldom you get a really great game in wet weather. A close game yes but that in itself doesn’t necessitate a good game. Yet the opening round of the Six Nations saw not one but three fantastic games in the wind and rain. We could take our pick o many moments from the three but I’m going to focus on the Calcutta cup for this week. My good friend and brilliant Analyst Geraint Davies...
Analysis: The Anatomy of a Try – Freddie Steward
England put in a dominant performance against Australia this past weekend, seeing them off 32-15. The truth of it is England played in fits and starts, struggled on occasion at the set-piece but ultimately just had too much firepower and importantly structure for a tired and underpowered Wallabies team. It happens, especially with so many new players entering the fray. Structure and control will seep from the game but within the game...
