The Substack is back! If you want to find out why the delay you can take a look at the last post....
This week though we're talking about the trend for attacks to go sideways, despite what we were told as kids. Why is that and how do you stop it?

With the Autumn Nations coming up you can get your copy of Attacking the Space (or Rugby Tactique for French fans) to be the most informed fan in the pub.
It's currently available on Amazon for less than £20 which is a bargain.

If you missed it, for the i this week I asked who should step into the 10 jersey for England if Fin Smith is out longer term.
Plus, why there is so little difference between 10s and 15s now.

This week for @TheiPaperSport I look at what England should do if Fin Smith's calf injury keeps him out of Autumn action.
Do they turn to a firm hand on the tiller or a mercurial attacker?

It's been announced that Ben Whitehouse has moved to the WRU as a specialist coach and ended his refereeing career.
I talk about that modern trend in a section called Gamekeeper Turned Coacher in Attacking the Space, it might be my favourite pun.
