Yes. In other news, the sun has risen this morning (not that I can see it mind).

Well I for one am glad we won't be playing the expansive, free-flowing, offload crazy, 2005-esque rugby that we did against Ireland, Scotland and France.

In other words `attack coach says don't expect any interesting attack moves coz I wouldn't know where to begin coaching that stuff and would get sacked if I tried it anyway`.

We played a bit against Italy last year, once the game was won of course.
