The aimless and endless kicking has to get the boot

On the evidence of the autumn international matches so far, the great game of rugby union is in a mess. So writes Gwyn Jones in the Western Mail.

"The blame has been laid at the feet of the coaches for being too dictatorial and for demanding such negativity from their teams.

"The finger has also been pointed at the players for their inability to “play with their heads up” and make bold, but correct, decisions. There may be some element of truth in these arguments but on the whole they miss the point. The reason that teams kick so much is because that is the most likely way to win matches."
