       On the back of this I'm noticing more and more the opposition
       not jumping,  even in the opp 22. Quins seem to stop attacking a
       line out when in opposition half. Any thoughts as to why.

       Because if they miss the ball and it is straight, then you're
       not set up to stop the drive. That can give the opposition a
       really good gain in metres. I assume the calculation is based on
       how straight their opponents are throwing and how likely we are
       to challenge for the ball. Maybe we're just not reading their
       throws well enough.

       This has always been the argument, but we're usually rubbish at
       stopping the drive regardless, so why not try to disrupt?
