[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 167804"] I do remember that Sir Clive rehearsed such eventualities with England back in 2003. Anyone who could even barely kick had to be expected to shoulder the burden if in a nightmare scenario, the first, second and third choice kicker went begging. As far as what I'm hearing from other Kiwis, apparently GH didn't do any drop goal drills or didn't have time to do them. The situation that New Zealand ended up in was more of their own design than of fate but with something like that, you really need to plan and prepare meticulously. Simply relying on divine inspiration and spontanious rugby just doesn't cut it sometimes in the knock out stages of the most important rugby tournament on the planet. [/QUOTE]
