[QUOTE="chikwa chibwe, post: 755136, member: 72443"] All Blacks will win easily . The question is how will they perform? . I am not buying into Hansens's excuses that they are holding back .The players need to feel the pressure to perform not Just for their country but also for their places . Kieran Read is not playing to his potential . He is a key player who at his best is amongst the best no 8 in the world. Jerome Kaino has been very disappointing. As I said before he rarely breaks the gain line . His work at the breakdown is not noticeable . We saw how effective hooper and Pocock were. Therefore the argument that he does the unseen stuff should not be raised in his defence. Patience with Carter because of past form may cost the side the World Cup. The next best replacement is Lima Sapoaga who has been left behind because of Colin slade 's versatility ! How is his versatility going to help the backs begin to fire?! Milner skudder & Beauden barret can cover full back !!! The scrum is not stable even with our put ins! This frankly has been an issue for a while . The so called third tier teams have managed to slow the ball down at the break downs. This is not all down to lax refereeing . The breakdown is a big issue which is not being properly addressed. The tactic of using Brodie retallick has become predictable and thus ineffective ! Improvements needed by both the players and the coaching staff!! [/QUOTE]
