It will also highlight how and why our national team doesn't compete anymore, for various reasons. The style and being able to change to new styles or not actually capable of playing other styles. I know there's foreign players in our team but there's also British players and if the foreign players that have been brought in over the British in this fast paced club and league can't deliver then neither will the British, whether in the team or not.

But that is not our concern and shouldn't be Frank's. He is here to manage our players, not what players should be. If at any point his thoughts are, 'This shouldn't be happening' then he needs to address it pretty sharpish. It's an unforgiving league where you don't get 3-10 seconds on the ball in defence. That's the reality.

And in particular when the opposition get a whiff of nervousness in the ranks they will pounce high up the field and i can see some big scores against us over the coming weeks until or more importantly if we get used to the system!
