[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 944257, member: 65365"] well done Jaguares , a dominant performance. Their play at the ruck was key for me. Getting their first man or two or three there very quickly, getting in low or straight to ground to prevent clean out, then getting to their feet to play the ball. Also driving through to slow the ball when the canes got on the front foot. They were smart at the rucks. The canes have been dumb at the rucks at times this year. Including this game. Often Savea is enough to compensate for this. In this game he had no presence at ruck time, maybe because he was told by coaches or thought himself that he needed to play a different role on account of playing number 8 in this game. I think part of the canes problem st times at ruck time this year has been that they are overcoached and don’t adapt. Until half time when their coach tells them too. They were slightly more effective in the second half but only in body position, not in numbers, and the Jaguares were simply too good. Asafo aumua. Some of his tackles and runs were amazing. Ridiculous potential. But overall a massive liability. He was the most influential player in this game by a very long way, because of his line out throwing. It was awful. There were the obvious ones off target, but some others were still off, enough to make it easier for the opposition to steal. And they did. The Jaguares defence for the most part was brilliant. The canes second half try was brilliant. It had to be, such was the Jaguares defence. The try required raw power from 4 of the most freakishly powerful runners in the comp (aumua, Savea, lam, Laumape)as well as extreme accuracy from Savea and Perenara. That was the only way through. Perhaps Both teams came with the wrong sized sprigs. It was slippery underfoot. The amount of kicks that went awry from many players and both teams suggested to me they didn’t have their normal rhythm because they had to be careful with their plant foot. I really enjoyed the game despite being a canes supporter. I admired the Jaguares at the rucks and on defence, and the canes two tries were amazing. [/QUOTE]
