[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1052336, member: 59968"] You seem to have interpreted my post solely as a criticism of SA. It wasn’t … My comments apply to both, but if anything were primarily directed at the Lions. Any team where the fly half only makes 3 passes in 60+ minutes is showing 0 ambition or intent IMO. At least the Boks played some reasonable rugby. Ultimately, you’ve eloquently articulated why I can’t stand this brand of rugby. SA are undeniably very good at it, but it’s not the kind of rugby I like to watch. I’m a Quins fan so I guess my mindset is that I’d generally prefer to see entertainment and skill prevail than grind it out rugby with a win at all costs mentality. As NZ have shown, you can still win games in the modern era by playing effective, intelligent attacking rugby so I don’t think playing conservatively is the only route to success. You may be happy with the way SA play but it is disappointing to see talented skilful players like Kolbe given such minimal involvement. [/QUOTE]
