[QUOTE="Amiga500, post: 1157756, member: 56767"] Ah gutted. But not even a fraction as gutted as the squad will be. Coulda. Maybe shoulda. Too many bad decisions, be it isolated carriers not buying time, passers not recognising those runners being isolated or fellas on the ball pushing the game with speculative (at best) plays. Danger of NZ is not just the team being collectively so good (which hasn't been the case recently), but individuals having the brilliance to make something out of nothing (and many on the team still have that). If Crowley develops, many of that squad will be back in 4 years time with the tools to get beyond the QF. Whether they get the luck of the draw (on the other side and we're sleepwalking to a SF) and have the mentals to stay the course when the heat comes on. [/QUOTE]
