[QUOTE="George Ford, post: 916134, member: 74118"] Bit of both really. I think the Boks forwards are being trained to not necessarily commit much efforts to poaching. It is still a specialist skill and quite clearly only a few players in SA for that matter are able to master it. At the same time, ANY player is actually able to go for it if its on, including the backs. Could pick up the flattery in Jake White's column he posted after the ABs game. The Boks committed more players to tackling support than competing for the ball on the ground and this enhanced that defensive game, which to a large extent is how he tailored his World Cup winning team. Only for that same team to fall short in the next World Cup against we know who because of we know what? (sips tea o_O) The approach to beating every team is different and given the Boks overall forward dominance against this current Wallabies team in the last 5 games, the Boks are expected to win this time.
