[QUOTE="Gay-Guy, post: 90506"] Any team is MOST vulnerable on defence when they have just turned over the ball. France made two "clean" line breaks during the game...both in the second half. The first line break was when the AB's lost the ball at the halfway mark and the French immediately cleared it away. I remember thinking "Damn...a counter attack and we haven't had time to set our defence." Sure enough a couple of passes later and some French guy was in a hole and away up field. With the AB's having a lot of support players on the counter attack....it is simply to do with fitness and a mentality to counter. Any team can do it they just need to think counter attack whenever they get a sniff and have people with the fitness to do so. Tired players never counter when they get a sniff including the AB's. They just kick for touch. So it is a matter of whether a player is up for it. [/QUOTE]
