[QUOTE="Charles, post: 209147"] It's not, that's the point and that is why Australia beating the All Blacks is not from forcing them to make huge mistakes, not the ineptitude of the All Blacks themselves. Players make mistakes when under pressure, call it a rush of blood to the head but Mils is one of the best backs in the world, you cannot possibly say his skills are less then near perfect. [b]An error in judgement is caused at this level largely by the opposition[/b], they are professional players and know how to handle pressure but the fact that they were put off by the Wallabies so much shows how good the Wallabies played, they got under the skin of the All Blacks and it was a hell of a lot more convincing then the freak loss against the Saffas. [/b][/quote] An error at this level (like many others ex wrong decisions, poor handling, poor defence) is caused by non ending periods of play consisting of sloppy razzle-dazzle, aimless kicks, fifty-fifty passes , one off rugby and overall exhaustion of the player lacking the set-pieces breaks. Exciting play is good, but not when produced by tacticals and personnal errors. I'm not against the ELV's , in fact I can't wait to see them trialled here because it will hugely suit us if anything but I think the back in the 22 rule and the defensive free kick are bad rules that make a mess of the game. The balance between set pieces, tactical play and length of the pitch stuff is lost. Anyway; I 'll make my mind at the end of the coming season. The rugby here is different, so the outcome with the ELV will probably be different as well. [/QUOTE]
