[QUOTE="shtove, post: 150628"] Stop the back three from collecting deep kicks and getting up a head of steam. That includes Jerry Collins. In the first test last November, France used Traille to send up a lot of Argentina-style high kicks, and the ABs just brushed them aside as they ran in for tries. This time, I guess France will use Beauxis, either to drill the ball long and follow up like maniacs or to smack it in to the stands and stop the quick throw, as BokMagic says. Was it SA who screwed up against them in the 3N by letting in a couple of tries from quick lineout ball? Must have been - Aus wouldn't be that dumb. Apart from that, France should be able to deal with the AB midfield off set piece ball. That leaves the question: how do you derail the AB forwards? France will match them in the scrum and maul, and may have the advantage at lineout. But McCaw is great, and the AB second rows have been smooth so far with ball in hand. Dunno if France have the answer to that. [/QUOTE]
