Andy told Sporting Life: "In the last few games we've done a lot of defending and there's been a lot of emphasis in training on defending
"We tried to do more things against Italy and it didn't always come off. Maybe we tried a few too many at times.
"But it's little margins that make the difference. A pass could be deemed forward but it might just be fractionally forward and if it hadn't been then the move would have continued.
"We don't want to be known as a defensive team. We want to play with it when we have it and try to score points. We know that if we do that we will more games away from home and keep winning our matches at Murrayfield.
"Against Italy we hung in there and when the chance came we took it. We're delighted with the win because at 10-10 it was anybody's game. Fortunately Jason produced the big hit and we got the penalty which Chris converted."
Andy has made the number 12 jersey his own this season and but for the hamstring injury Marcus Di Rollo picked up against France which kept him out of the Wales game, Hadden would have selected the same centre pairing in every game.
Andy refuses to accept, though, that he and Di Rollo are firmly cemented in Hadden's backline and also that he necessarily provides the muscle to his team-mate's guile.
Andy said: "I'm not looking that far ahead. Obviously the next challenge will be South Africa and only when we get close to those games will you start to think about your place in the side.
"I just want to play well for Glasgow week in week out and hopefully then take that form and do well in South Africa.
"In terms of our combination, sometimes I will have to look for contact and take the ball up and recycle possession but that's not always the plan.
"When I've got the ball in hand I also want to look for space and find the gaps. Marcus has a great pass on him too which can open channels."
