[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 598279, member: 43875"] kinda the same scenario as Donald and that game. Sure kicking that ball out may have helped at least it was a long kick and gave the AB defense time to regroup, it would have to have been kicked out very shallow to prevent a quick throw in anyway. But the fact is Brad Thorn and John Afoa missed key tackles and Toeava missed a howler coming out of the line and leaving a gap for Beale. Yes don made a mistake, but Donalds mistake wasn't as bad as some other mistakes made by other all blacks in the last 5 min of that game - yet Donald shouldered all, and by all I mean 100% of the blame from a lot of the public. ok, barrett made a mistake. Cruden made similar misses in that game peronally I dont think any of them were significant. IMO in the JDV try the mistake was not committing 2 defenders, Nonu was maybe in a better position to stop or hold JDV as JDV had been partially slowed by Barrett. IMO the ABs would have been better off committing 2 to JDV and leaving a gap out wide. [/QUOTE]
