[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 916655, member: 74121"] I get the point, but if there wasn't scope for tactics (including kicking) in union then Schmidt's Ireland wouldn't be second in the world. I think it's too early to say that only teams that run with the ball and largely ignore tactical kicking can be successful, but there is absolutely potential the sport will head that way. I do think "strategy" is too strong a word for union 10-20 years ago. So much of success was tied to physical dominance - as shown by the success of France and England in the NH (moreso than in recent years). The sport was more one dimensional back then than people think, just one dimensional in a different way. [/QUOTE]
