[QUOTE="dan-the-man, post: 462023, member: 50929"] I am in no way saying that the forwards part is unimportant. I completely agree that line-outs, scrums etc are vital. What I’m saying is, on far too many occasions, Genia gets the ball from the ruck, his backs are fanned out and ready to rock & roll, and then he box-kicks or gives it to a retarded forward to run straight into the tackler. I realise the Wallabies forwards pack are not functioning well, and go-forward ball is essential to a fluid backline. However, having a weak forward pack is not an excuse for taking the flyhalf out of the game and kicking away your possession or giving it to a forward (which is basically conceding a scrum). So, to sum up, my point is that I realise that the Wallabies don’t get as much quality ball as one would want. However, there are still many instances of a backline being set and ready to go, and Genia simply chooses the “Springbok-esque†approach. A glaring example is how he just let the forwards do their own thing when they were on the All Black try line with a few minutes to go. This is where my problem lies. [/QUOTE]
