Ilias was on the inside coming hard and there may have been an opportunity to go back inside (as there was not additional cover coming across). It looked like Oates tried to wrong foot him by feigning back inside, but Ilias didn't bite and then Oates had to overpower him to the line. To me it is an issue in Oates' wing play... he carries it almost always in the right hand, but because of his lack of a step he always has to beat the man on the outside. His right arm is a target for the defenders if he ever has to reach out. Oates has made some remarkable put downs in his time on the wing, but he's not always a guarantee nowadays and I hope that right arm carry and lack of lateral stepping doesn't cost us in the future [/QUOTE]
