Best in the world should have that skill down to a tee. The ABs expect to drag the defence back and forth every game until there's a huge gap out wide that just needs "the big pass" to cut out the last stragglers. Cross kick is the most efficient way to do it. McCaw scored from one Carter cross kick against the Boks last week, but it took huge skill from him to ground the ball inside the touchline when he should have had an acre of space to go under the posts. And the cross kick after that was too high even for a second row with a lifter to keep out of touch. That could have won the game. I know Carter's just back, and he's made a few mistakes that everyone expects will be put right. But AB kicking tactics have caused alot of heartache in the biggest games - pay attention!
