Yeah....let's not moan about the Goons set piece gonads winning them the title...set pieces saved our arses as well!
A great corner routine, that seems very basic and obvious to me.
Start with 5 to 7 men outside the back post, so that all the defenders in the centre cannot see them nor hold onto them.
As the corner taker starts his motion, those guys run forwards and cause chaos and/or block the defenders.
If the corner is shorter/lower, the guys near the front post try to flick it towards the back post for someone to bundle in.
If the corner is longer/higher, the guy left at the back post attacks it.
I believe that if we always did this, we would get much more joy than other methods.
It is very similar to the ghost train that England did, with 5 to 7 men just outside the box in a conga line, and that train all charges in together, it is almost impossible to pick up runners and defend well.
