[QUOTE="Peat, post: 803009, member: 42330"] Intelligent thoughts If Joseph is even with Farrell, Folau still has time and space to get the pass away and Watson is even more exposed. I guess Gustard wants Joseph to be even faster up and nail Folau but that's high risk/moderate reward. I think I'd like to see a drift over all. I haver between saying "Yes he did" and "What do we expect against Kuridrani?". They pick him because he makes hay in that situation - how many wingers complete the tackle there? Room for improvement. Mako in the outside channel is the biggest culprit of our early defending woes and I still want to know why. I'd say that's clearly a block by the rules, but its given as a try more often than not. So yeah, we're a bit lucky, and if the line's run a little more lightly I think they get away with it. Strong kick chase is overstating it imo. Folau has all the time in the world when he receives it - not much space in front of him - but plenty of time. Foley catches that pass and he'd got less time, but still ample. Fair play to Fazlet and Joseph for never giving up the possibility some might be on but there really isn't much pressure on Australia until Foley drops it. First off, I'd like Cole to stay part of the line here and maybe push that drift a little further along. I think Farrell makes a mistake here in that he should trust Ford to complete the tackle. If he stays out, there is no space for Kerevi. I think you also have to blame Yarde here for not realising what's going on and biting in as well - if he does, that's Kerevi. I know there's a man outside, but the offload isn't making it to him. Is Ford at fault for shooting up? Maybe. He does make the tackle, but does allow the offload. If he holds his line and keeps drifting, there is a lot of space for Aus to work with and an overlap. The decision works if Farrell and Yarde work with it. They don't though. Bingo. One of Joseph and Brown needs to be more alive to this and working around hard. Watson is constantly exposed through this match because he's never got a back next to him. Easy work on (I hope). Good spot. Pause at 11:33 and the gap between Care and Haskell is huge. Massive gap between Hask and Billy too, and then everyone else. Back row is too slowly away. If Joseph is further in, there's a mountain of room outside. Hard one, and as you, credit to Aus. Ah! Watch it back and Joseph doesn't really spot Kuridrani is there until he gets it, yeah, bit of a bad moment. Apart from our defensive turnovers, there weren't many. Farrell has always liked to shoot up. There's nothing wrong with a midfield shooter, just the rest of the team has to be ready to deal with them missing. I think some quicker back rows would help enormously. I also think a lot of credit needs to go to Australia, who know how to play around a blitz and punish it out wide. Not that we were blitzing all the time. Will be interesting to see what changes for next test. [/QUOTE]
