[QUOTE="Fushitsusha, post: 203817"] we were getting absolutely carved up in the rucks till Waugh came on. [/b][/quote] No, we were getting carved up in the rucks (against Ireland) because the forwards weren't committing to the ruck, and Waugh made no difference to that when he came on. And it's laughable to think that he won them the game. As for France, they weren't much competition anywhere on the park. It's the same reason England smashed the Wallabies at the ruck in the World Cup, and why New Zealand continue to give us hammering at the breakdown - the Australian forwards just don't show up to the ruck, and it has NOTHING to do with Smith or Waugh. There seems to be something wrong with their gameplan. Richie McCaw would be useless if he didn't have his fellow forwards helping out. [/QUOTE]
