[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 731078, member: 43875"] yeah smiths box kick has been a big part of the highlanders gameplan and its got them to the final so... what the kicks do is create a situation where you complete for possession 25-40m up field and also make the opposition forward pack turn around it works better against some teams than others. For example it didn't work against the chiefs because the chiefs back three returned the kicks with interest but they were good/lucky enough to prevent the chiefs from scoring tries from those kick returns. They wont be some spare of the moment thing smith just does. it will be a big part of the game plan and they will have an entire structure behind how they execute it so every player knows where they need to be, or else they will get really stung. But that is how you beat the highlanders. Return their kicks with interest, Savea, Nehe & co will be the main men with that task. [/QUOTE]
