Yup. With no foundation, we become extremely flaky, and it becomes pretty much impossible to throw the ball around. When that happens, Smith's rugby becomes incredibly boring one man rugby which we are horrible at because the pack is so weak, or we start resorting to extremely gimmicky high risk attacking plays.
I don't think it's a coincidence that two teams that keep winning the division play nothing like us and have real robust forward packs. We can't even do the basics.
