[/b][/quote] A lot of teams had the same problems in the RWC playing against the ABs. In the end, only SA and Arg really knew how to kick against a deep back three. Wallace's boot should have been used more to take pressure off ROG and keep the French back three guessing - by the time he gets the ball they're thinking [i]uh-oh better move up in defence[/i], then the kick goes in behind them. Surely that's why he was on the pitch. One thing we didn't try was the cross pitch kick - but you need Horgan for that. Watched the game again today, and Heaslip was actually better than Harinord - amazing, smart player. [/b][/quote] but that's not what he does for Ulster so why would Kidney select him to play a different game at international level? [/QUOTE]
