[QUOTE="Gay-Guy, post: 1056588, member: 12225"] Yes that is what I meant...the Crusaders of today who have their front door runners hit the line fast and flat from Hall passing at halfback or Mounga passing at first five. When there is a rush defence coming at you then speed and selection of the pass is crucial if the All Blacks are wanting to have their front door runners hit the line at speed. I don't think the TJ can execute that sort of pass like Smith or Webber or even the Crusaders Hall and Drummond. I also think BB is slightly slow with this compared to Mounga. The All Blacks dropped a lot of ball coming from BB on those first phase strikes...would they have dropped it if they received the ball a micro second earlier aka less pressure? Also whenever there were times to simply shift it due to an overlap out wide the slip second delay from BB put pressure on the players outside to execute. I am guessing the ABs will take stock and readjust their depth and timing now that they know the pressure that is coming. This is very much a repeat of the Bok/Wallabies games...the first test the Wallabies saw what the Boks brought and the second test they adjusted their depth and timing. [/QUOTE]
