[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 803042, member: 72520"] This is spot on. How many times have we seen Retallick and Read give a little pop pass to the man beside them to gain an extra few metres? Mako in particular has brilliantly soft hands, we should get him using them to get some of the faster forwards through holes. We should also take a tip from them in the distance carriers are from the ruck. Whenever SR sides have forward-carrying-phases, the carriers are a good 10-15 metres away from the scrum half, which means the opposition defence can't be as tight against them if the carriers have more space to work with. The only problem I can see with this is that our forwards (and Youngs come to think of it) may not have the hands for it. [/QUOTE]
