“BACK ATTACK, NEW ZEALAND STYLE” reads the caption beneath this picture in Mr Wallace’s book. The photograph was taken during the match between the British Isles and Auckland this year. Mr Wallace says: S. Nesbit (No. 6) has just passed to T. Lineen (No. 5). But in running across field as he passes Nesbit fails to anchor either the Lions flanker, Morgan, or the cover defence or to give Lineen scope for his favourite outside break. Note the tendency of a British flyhalf (in this case Risman) to leave his opposite (Nesbit) to the loose forward and to cover-defend. Outside Morgan are Hewitt, Price and O’Reilly.
