TOON ARE NOT IN DELAP FLAP

Guthrie said: “I’ve never seen anything like it before. We’ll be doing a bit of work to counter it because it has got them a few points this season.

“It’s hard because we don’t have anyone who can throw it in like Delap. We can kick it in or hurl it in at a different angle, but it’s the trajectory of his throws that makes them so difficult to defend. They come in hard and low and it’s difficult to replicate that in training.

“Maybe we will kick it out for a corner rather than a throw-in.”
