It's no coincidence that our upturn in form (and Walmsley's) came when we not only started to play a slightly more expansive game, but also began at last to make more use of dummy runners and second-phase. There's still far too much one-out rugby and that fecking annoying (and totally ineffective) inside drop-off pass, but it's an improvement.
