[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 690062, member: 43875"] Perenara's problem was not the forward pack. let me rephrase that, his problem was not the time between the ball going to ground and the ball being available. It was the time between the ball being available and him passing the ball. It's his time. And I believe fast all creates fast ball, if a 9 can create fast ball by clearing quickly then it makes it easier for his forwards to create more fast ball. And I dont think you can overestimate the impact it has. The difference between the AB's back line with Cowan & Weepu there compared to now with Aaron Smith there is staggering. This Scottish game for me was a look back into the past when we had Cowan & Weepu. Without a doubt IMO Pulu is the best backup for Smith right now. In fact I think hes good enough to start giving him 15-20min rather than just keeping him on the bench as injury cover and letting him get off for a token few min to get a cap. TJP and TKB dont seem to be able to play their natural game for the All Blacks yet. Pulu seems more willing and is easily the faster of the 3 right now. [/QUOTE]
