[QUOTE="Mr Ruggleby, post: 920009, member: 41553"] I disagree with this generally. You're not guaranteed to get better range or field position kicking from 10, why do you think most teams predominantly clear from box kicks in their 22? Less pressure on the kicker and you don't have to pass back an extra 10-15m. In terms of the kicks that were contestable, there was at least one if not two where May tackled the catcher straight into touch meaning we won possession. I am not a fan of aimless kicks but given most of Young's were inside our 22 and clearing after sustained SA pressure, I'm not sure what else you would expect? Where do you think Farrell would be able to clear to kicking from his own try line? This being said, if we kick badly against New Zealand they will punish us much more severely, so it is vitally important that Youngs and his chasers are on the same page. My major gripe with Youngs is that he takes an age to get the ball away from the breakdown and his general game awareness seems non existent beyond the 4-5m around a ruck. [/QUOTE]
