[QUOTE="shtove, post: 142074"] Yeah, ROG is a smart player - uses all the weapons. I think this criticism is really all about Munster, who haven't (until the coming of Howlett!) had the talent outside for ROG to get things going and have to keep going back to forward power - but the problem for Wales is the front five. Their team doesn't go through all the rhythms, using the grind when that's the right thing to do - it's all "give it to Shane!" Entertaining, if you like chaos, but is that how Wales are going to win a world cup? The ABs had the same attitude in 03, and look what they've done with their front five since then. They still cause chaos running from deep, but watch how many tries they'll score from 20m out just from crash balls set up from scrum/lineout-maul. [/QUOTE]
