[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1049237, member: 56232"] We really need to be hitting the breakdowns hard this time, not standing back and watching as we repeatedly get turned over. I'm not sure what the tactics were and if we were sandbagging but we can't be that lax protecting our own ball again. The forwards need to step up and do their job clearing the rucks out properly, not leave the 9 to frantically try to clean it up or get the ball away fast (something Murray won't do at the best of times). There is no point having lots of players fanned across the pitch ready to take the ball if it gets stuck in the ruck resulting in slow ball that then gets shut down by a defence that has had time to set up.
