- Centre apologises for lack of attacking rugby in Nations Cup
- Tompkins pleased with Wales’s improvement against England
Nick 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.
