[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 729984, member: 70552"] But that is not what each RWC has shown since 1987. If you still think NZ will beat teams like they did in 1987, especially in the knockout stages, then you haven't really been watching the last 6. Tries will be at a premium in the knockout stages; especially in a World Cup final. Anyway, my reply was to do with being safe under the high ball. The kicking game will be key in this world cup; like it or not and the ABs kick a lot of their ball. If NS and Nahaloo aren't good enough under the high ball at test level yet, they will not get picked in the RWC squad and will be sent away to work on this aspect of their game. Test match rugby is as much about not making mistakes and giving up territory, otherwise there is no platform to score any tries. This mentality of it does not matter whether they are safe under the high ball because they will make for it with their try scoring prowess, shows Super rugby thinking rather than a test match understanding.
