“Eddie wants to go back to the traditional English rugby of 2003 and the stuff before that, and part of that ethos in trying to get us to have the best pack in the world is investing a lot of time in the set piece – the line out and the scrum,” says Cole. “They are our main focus areas. Yes, there is the breakdown and all around that, but he wants the best scrum and the best line out so we are spending the time we have together focusing around that – they are big things for us.”
