[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1009283, member: 65365"] Well I think he will have to make changes, surely (?) it would also be hard to call that team they picked the top team now. people have talked about needing go forward, Needing the right personnel who can hit it up. Maybe there is something in that but I don’t see it as the major thing. Frizell was hitting it up ok, but we weren’t able to gain any moment. The pumas were great at having a second player come in to finish a tackle, getting on the wrong side, Hence slowing the ball down, completely legally mind you. And the all blacks didn’t have anyone to clear the ruck. They didn’t learn, and continued to have players spread so the ones hitting it up were relatively isolated. Not isolated such that they were losing the ball, more that they weren’t clearing the ball fast. and we could have played territory more. And we could have varied things, with players coming back on angles or going a bit deeper, pick and goes, chips in behind, offloads (again not possible due to the persistence of distance between our players in attack), etc. but mostly just eagerness. I think McKenzie needs to start, I don’t care where, could be first five, fullback, or even wing, he still make things happen. Yes, yes, and yes. I’d say the era started end of year tour 04, 07 was a minor blip i remember the 2001 one, Jonah scoring right at the end, rip. The one mania was referring to I think was 2004, that was close too. That’s a much better response than what I was going to say, far fewer swear words haha, thanks. [/QUOTE]
