Are you being sarcastic?
I've not seen the game, but it sounds very similar to the Stormers game in that we simply didn't alter it under the correct circumstances as per formerflanker's post. If they're cleaning you up in the second channel, change the channel. Use an inside ball. Dogmatic following of the wide ball plan is as bad as dogmatic one-out ball trucking plan.
Phipps has an issue when he step-passes, and it slows or attack just enough for the second channel to become a nightmare. A team prepared to concede the rucks and fan out can then clean us up.
When Phipps is delivering ball straight off the deck, the difference in our advantage line gains is noticeable.
