ability against astute band carve concentration control crowd dominant experience france game great life miss pack playing powerful squeeze stop targeting
I've been targeting this game for Matt. It's a horses-for-courses selection. He's got great experience and an ability to control the forwards. Against France we've got to be right in their faces. They have a powerful pack that can be dominant if you let them play. If you let your concentration drop, or miss one-on-one tackles, they can carve you up. So we've got to be astute and squeeze the life from them. We've got to stop the band playing and get the crowd whistling.
