[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1005223, member: 65365"] A bit of both. Caleb Clarke made the all blacks because in super rugby Aotearoa he would break tackles like he did against Australia, but he was breaking 5 times as many against Australia. And when I watched, admittedly only two games And some highlights of, super rugby Australia, the kind of breaks the all blacks were making in this game were abundant in that Australian competition. Leads me to think Australia just don’t have the same defensive standards at the moment. Having said that, Beauden Barrett breaks every defence open from broken play, we’ve seen that in the past. So I think it’s a mix. and watching the game, there were some bad defensive reads from the wallabies, meaning the other defenders had to scramble, and the all blacks were good at taking advantage of that. and there were times when the read wasn’t so bad but someone had come out of the line so as soon as an all black did something special to beat that first defender which then put the rest of their Defence in disarray, the all blacks were able to exploit that. So a bit of both. [/QUOTE]
