Centre apologises for lack of attacking rugby in Nations CupTompkins pleased with Wales’s improvement against EnglandNick Tompkins has apologised to supporters for the lack of attacking rugby in the Autumn Nations Cup, blaming the post-lockdown emphasis on making the breakdown more of a contest for possession for the safety-first tactics that have meant teams taking to the air.
The Wales centre touched the ball only eight times during Wales’s 24-13 defeat to
England in Llanelli on Saturday, with Dan Biggar at fly-half kicking the ball more often than he passed it, as both teams preferred to punt for territory in their own half rather than move the ball.
