[QUOTE="Bossco, post: 434561, member: 45019"] I don't buy the whole we don't have the same quality backs ergo we have to play this negative style that capitilises on our strengths...The quality of the backs we see in the curry cup and super 15 with players like pretorious, aplon, fourie, de jongh, lambie etc completely contradict that argument. And the reason NH teams have traditionally played a more conservative territory based game is because of the conditions they normally play in, not by choice, and even now England and all the other NH teams have a far more exciting attacking back orientated ball in hand mindset than SA at present. It just seems you have an administration at the highest level, and a fan base, that is solely focused on a win at all costs mentality, rather than looking at the future and the way the game is evolving.
