[QUOTE="Cave Dweller, post: 502813, member: 61500"] Agree with you there. Was not a great year but beating NZ 18 - 5 just before the WC with scrambling defense showed what can be done with 15 committed players. We got knocked out by 2 points in the WC in a match that could have gone either way with a aging squad. Obviously Snors tactics which was probably decided by the 10 advisors as he knows f all about it was off and they should have adapted. If he had a clue what was going on he would have. But you know the only thing keeping our rugby down is politics. No. It is called a slowball tactic and the pick and drive is a way of restarting a attack to setup quicker ball. Like who? Australia play like they do and have that style because they need to entertain as they are fighting with two other sports over support. That is how they develop and they play towards their strengths. We need to play towards our strengths as well. That is not running rugby. We need to do what we always do dominate upfront and starve the opposition of position choking them into mistakes. Then Australia's pivot is 9 NZ is 10. Something we do not have as we rely on team performances and the individual brilliance now and then to create chances and to score that try now and again. Last pivot was Fourie but the real one at 10 was Lem. Gaffie was a failure so was most of the rest. But if we look what has won us 2 WC's it was ability to shut down space and the opposition and not let them play the way they want to play [/QUOTE]
