I love how we fanny and faff around with the ball for what seems like a yottasecond, until the ball gets cut out in the centre circle.

Biss then dives on the player with the ball.
Wins it back.
Instantly bangs it out wide.
Boom

A second later the team are either at the by-line or in the opposition box.

Begging the question - 'what the frack were you doing previously?'

Waiting for space to open up. Or Godot. Or Christmas. One of them.

The same thing as when you counter-attack. You "fanny around at the back" because you want to invite them to pressure you so you can play 4v5 or 5v5 in the opposition half rather than 4 or 5v10. When you win the ball in a phase where they are moving forward, you already have that situation and there are more opportunities to play it quickly.
