[QUOTE="NZbloke, post: 1056650, member: 85358"] Yeah, BB just doesn't read the game well at 10 when the pressure is really on - when getting slow ball from your forwards the rushing defence is even going to apply more pressure on your backline, that's when a 10 needs to show good common sense, drop back a metre or two giving himself more time to execute an accurate kick in behind their defence, they're all basically standing up very flat across the field like a rugby league defence, so there's always going to be a ton of space behind the opposition, the only bloke sweeping at the back is the fullback & he can't cover the whole field... amazes me this tactic isn't executed much more by all teams when every side is trying to strangle the other team defence wise. Reckon all teams are really guilty of gifting intercept passes & getting their kicks charged down... if they actually thought about what they were doing they would have a quick scan for a split second & take the best option available, if it's not on to execute something, take the tackle, go to ground & set the ball up again.
