[QUOTE="Steve-o, post: 144063"] I think a game plan like that will never work. "You can't stop brilliance", someone famous once said. Getting a player to man mark so intensely is not gonna work in international rugby, look how they tried (and failed) to stop Jonah Lomu back in the day. Habana scores more tries from broken play so allocating 2 players to him is gonna be a nightmare. Suggesting the Poms should compete with their forwards will result in the same thing that happened to Manu Samoa, the Boks have the best forwards in this pool hands down, taking them on up front will be EXACTLY want they want. Conforming teams to play to their style. If they struggled physically against the USA then I can't see any thought going in your statement. The only way England had a chance was with their kicking game IMO, and that went out with Wilkinson. [/QUOTE]
