[QUOTE="Jimbo, post: 1181101, member: 77204"] Think that's mostly fair, it's also fair to say France grew into the tournament and Le Garrick made a huge difference to Luku earlier on in the tournament so it's not really fair to compare how they performed against other teams earlier in the tournament. Defensively we are pretty good in general it's the turn overs and scramble that kill us, I think the lack of pace outside doesn't lend itself in this defensive style look at the pace on SA wings for comparison. ABs, Fra and Scotland are all pretty lethal off turn over ball which I think is where we will potentially struggle. Line-out defiantly needs some work. Clear signs of improvement throughout just need to intergrate some future starters in the front row and see if we can find some centre depth, Laurence playing vs not was night and day (Scotland aside) if we're not careful it could be a Manu situation all over again. 10 spot is looking pretty good and with hindsight looks pretty balanced providing form doesn't drop off a cliff all 3 could could play a part in the next WC. U20s success suggests there could well be a sprinkling of future starts which is probably more likely that throughout the last WC cycle. [/QUOTE]
