[QUOTE="austingtir, post: 730091, member: 54150"] I think your going to be in for a shock then... If you look at our squad scrum and mauling are not high on the priority list and it never has been in NZ rugby a few NZ sides in super rugby were actually dominated at times in the rolling maul and thats been going on for more than a few years now... While NZ will be adequate at it we simply are not going to base our entire game around it like England, Ireland and SA will. Hansen will be looking to blow teams off the park as I suspect he's still ****** that he didnt get the opportunity at the last WC due to first five issues. The game has changed since the last WC flyhalfs do not dominate like they used to so I dont believe we will be as effected as when Dan went down last time. The rolling maul is really our only obvious weakness England and co will be mad not to go crazy with it. But I think Argentina is the only country in the world capable of dominating us in the scrums and rolling maul. You lot can have your rolling maul I say go down firing the WC is not the be all and end all. [/QUOTE]
