[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1027447, member: 73144"] And have won 3 of the 7 tournaments they’ve taken part in using much the same formula. OK it’s more nuanced and they’ve got the likes of Kolbe that give other options, but fundamentally you know what’s coming - lots of big physical men, followed by lots more. That’s in their culture, it works and they largely stick with it - it’s also arguably more inherently suited to the peculiarities of knockout rugby. If you want to win the RWC you need a game plan that can be flexed to deal with that physical challenge as well as maybe the more open threat of Fra or NZ. That range of challenge and styles is what makes rugby so fascinating. [/QUOTE]
