[QUOTE="KZNSharksFan, post: 273970"] It is kind of frustrating having JDV, Fourie, Habana and F Steyn in the backline and not using them to run. But i'm not complaining because it works. SA rugby and SA sport in general is in a very healthy state atm and about bloody time too! Those horror years pre 2007 are thankfully gone. ps. on a further note regarding running rugby, I watched a 2000 all blacks-springboks game on youtube. It was amazing. It's hard to believe that was over 9 years ago now! The reason running rugby is not so common nowadays (I reckon anyway) is because professionalism has created players and defensive patterns that are remarkably difficult to get through. Just watch a game from 10+ years ago to see how the defensive lines are not really lines at all but resemble something like an Italian bus stop. [/QUOTE]
