[QUOTE="GoTheNaki, post: 1002354, member: 70789"] I feel like it is where a Scott Robertson led All Blacks was thinking of heading, he was doing it in the Crusaders this year... Idk, my cousin said this about the forwards before anyone knew anything, just getting power and speed in there and kinda blurring the lines of who plays from #4 to #8. Admittedly it did not work vs England... That was so poor, that was not the right time to do that with Scott Barrett. But I don't think it's a bad idea with the backs, then you become really hard to defend against, then all of a sudden.... You go from marking Sevu Reece, to marking Rieko Ioane in a flash. Or change from Goodhue, to Jordie. I mean, I know basketball is not rugby in any way, but they have switch plays to take advantage of the defence.. whether it's big man vs small man and he just posts up, or small man vs big man and they just blow past him.. but there isn't such huge differences of body size per position.
