[QUOTE="Crackdown, post: 154634"] I don't agree with much of that to be honest - I think it had more to do with the back row and play in the loose. For example: the games where Perry struggled he was behind a pack that was terribly slow, bashed about and getting turned over, remember when Gommers came on to replace him in the SA match and made no difference whatsoever? You can apply the same to Gregan's poor performance when they played England, their pack was getting destroyed and that makes life extremely difficult for a SH (I played there for quite a while). Lets take Pichot, yes he's good but his life was made much easier by a good pack (think vs France at breakdowns) - notice how he didn't shine anywhere near as brightly in the Scotland game? Just my $0.02. [/QUOTE]
