I'm a wee bit confused/concerned that the box kick seems to be the go to tactic @ Edinburgh, Simon Hickey was meant to be a top 10 (NZ u20 WC winner captain) so why not get the ball to him ASAP & let him decide, Pygros ,especially, likes to box kick as the preferred option.
When we did get quick ball to VDM last night.................
The game last night was summed up in one movement last night -20 year old Hodgson took the ball forward & was tackled by Pro14 POY Tadhg Beirne and Irish & Lion legend POM, ball stripped........try. Not Hodgson's fault but......

correct and correct.
And it would not have mattered if it had been Gilchrist, or for that matter Retallick or O'Connell at his peak. The problem was poor to no support or effective clear. While maybe more excusable with the team out last night, its been an issue all season. Sometimes a turnover, always a minimum of slow ball. Who is the forwards/breakdown coach?

Roddy Grant.
To be fair Beirne and PoM are amongst the world's best at that bit of skill.
And breakdown strategy is part of the wider gameplan.
