Does that work when you have the weaker pack though, as we generally seem to? I think Lam is playing to our strengths, which are that we generally have a faster, fitter and more skilful side.
I was thinking more about stopping Hastings getting caught with the ball on the 4th (a consequence of him having the freedom to play), or absolutely dreadful kicks on the 5th.
One of our strengths is our defence. I'd happily see us forgo the usual bomb to the corner in favour of a kick that turns the FB/winger and lets us hunt the error in defence.
Let's also not skirt over the issue of the weaker pack too. It's been a glaring issue for quite a while and we've signed three props during Lam's time with us. Only Singleton has improved us, but even then he's not making massive yards.
