[QUOTE="Dai Perk, post: 951372, member: 78552"] This match between the USA and Japan looks to be a real challenge... Although, I hear some speculation we might keep experimenting rather than necessarily going all-in for a win? I always find it hard to credit the idea of professional athletes deciding not to give it their all, it seems like it should just be ingrained when you get to that level. But, the rumour I hear is, we will get a better idea of what we can do with our set pieces in preparation for the RWC if we don't kick for points when they're on offer - we already know how our kicking game is, so getting all those extra line-outs will best serve us long term, even if it means leaving points on the field for this match. Again, I find this hard to believe, but I see the cold logic in it, I guess. [/QUOTE]
