[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 653458, member: 39190"] Apart from the up and unders not working, SA players should have realized the tactic of holding the player up in the tackle wasn't working. Those two really misfired in that we gave England possession from kicking aimlessly and/or not having an effective enough chasing game whereas kicking out was much more effective particularly with us shading it in the line-outs. Then with England making good ground ball in hand we should have realized much earlier that we weren't able to hold them up in the tackle. Going low would've given us more scoope to compete after the tackle and a number of times going in high meant we let the player just make too much ground and lead even to a few bump-offs whereas chopping the player off at the legs and stopping them there and then would've been much more effective. But anyway, lessons will have been learnt and that is the whole point of this competition isn't it. SA and England look like the two teams that might hopefully start to erode the AB general dominance at rugby (in the pro era of course) if you look at the current seniors teams and looking at these games with the future in mind.
