[QUOTE="Peat, post: 688198, member: 42330"] And if Lancaster is a better coach than Johnson, how comes he hasn't converted one of those tons of nearly wins into the real thing? If he beats both South Africa and Australia in a non-fluky manner (i.e. no more norovirus), then I will probably be very happy with him. Not overly surprised either, he's clearly not totally inept or anything. Also, I don't get why people reckon the forwards are an A grade. We've had one good game of mauling in about two years, which coincidentally is the one game we're forced to put in our best mauling lock in due to injury after two years. Our scrum has been far from consistent in Corbs' absence. We are bound to the doctrine of non-specialist flankers which isn't working great for us. We routinely see pods of forwards take the ball static, our breakdown skills could see improvement and I'm still seething at the merry way New Zealand marched us back the other day. We've got more problems than our backline. [/QUOTE]
