[QUOTE="Hap, post: 890560, member: 53054"] Not in the lineout, but in scrum for sure. The times of Castro, Lo Cicero, Perugini and so on are really far away. It seems that the trend we had in the last 15 years has been inverted, we don't produce anymore good front rows but we have a good amount of possible choices in the backline. Remember that 3/4 of our back line isn't the best we could deploy, since we have out Leo Sarto, Campagnaro and Morisi (who is well recovering in Benetton now). Anyway, we in Italy are discussing about why this instead of that (specially we'd have liked to see Polledri, given the persisting injury of Licata) but I think that's time to win with mind and balls. It's not a question of starting XV anymore, It's time to show some attitude. Time not to be always victim of the events but try to bend the game in the direction you want to. I don't know if we are ready for this, I think we are getting closer but we still have a big attitude gap holding back us. We are too used at losing games and in my opinion, changing this behaviour is the biggest between COS' challenges. [/QUOTE]
