[QUOTE="Zed, post: 1110678, member: 38503"] Do you think that perhaps they are being over-coached? In the 22, you kick long, 22-half you box kick, from a ruck you go 2 left, one right etc etc Their ability to think for themselves, play instinctively etc has been taken away from them. I remember watching Scotland v Italy. Scotland kept on box kicking, Italy kept on running it back and scored a great try. Next time Scotland got the ball, another box kick, another Italian break and another try. If that was U15, you'd be abused by your team-mates and coach and then hauled off the pitch. These are elite rugby players making the same mistakes time and again. Surely a light-bulb would have gone off saying - these box kicks aren't working.. it really looked to me like they weren't thinking on the fly. It always make me chuckle when teams would kick to Israel Folau, like they were hoping he would drop it..... [/QUOTE]
