[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 765197, member: 72205"] The free flowing aspect and contest at the breakdown only works if players are not trying to slow down the ball and actually contest it otherwise it's waste of time allowing a contest. I know the Irish complain about Barnes in the Welsh match but by being hot on rolling away he stopped either team getting away with murder. They eventually adapted and the game was better for it as at every breakdown the tackler did their best to actually move out the way. I like Owens a lot just saying there reasons not allow too much at the breakdown. If your hot on something players should adapt to quite a few things some are a ltitle more difficult than others however. [/QUOTE]
