    @taniwharugby said in Ireland Vs All Blacks:

    @mariner4life an accurate kicking game would help, our kicking (and chase) was so far from accurate though, so we werent able to create gaps in thier line by making them drop players back to cover clever well placed kicks with pressure from chasers.

    I think we were looking good at times against the Lions rush d, but personell changes made it tougher to deal with.

    Not just you mate, but i am hearing an awful lot of excuses in the last couple of days.

    Our kicking has been shit since A Smith went completely off the boil. BB is a poor kicker from hand. B Smith isn't great. It's a massive work on for the whole squad.

    excuses? Pointing out areas we were not good enough? One in the same, matter of perspective.

    So if A Smith does suddenly regain his kicking game, how much better would we look within that type of play they seem to be employing?

    Oh, and are you new around here? We lost a big game, excuses/angsty posts, soul searching....

    Our kicking used to be good. Can Bridge play on the right wing so BFA can go back to fullback?

    I'm not sold that we're making two play makers a winning strategy.

    Yes I know. That's why I'm so triggered. Here's hoping a win over Argie helps the cause.

    @mariner4life This is a very good point. But it also wouldn't hurt if you picked some backs who could bend the line in heavy traffic.

    Everyone talks about how chips and grubbers are a way to unlock a rush defence. And sure they are. But crawl through this thread and count the moaning on all the kicks. They're bloody hard to execute well, and once you give players a licence to do them they become infectious. So you lose promising attacking positions because instead of recycling, some wing or loosie has grubbered the ball away.

    A much better answer to a rush defence is to pass early to a big, fast, nimble meathead while making the defence second guess itself. But to do that, you need to select some big, fast, nimble meatheads. And I for one hope that your selectors continue to ignore the obvious solution to your current backline ineffectiveness.

    Things that annoy me about half-backs.

    • Now the defensive line has to stay onside until the ball is lifted off the ground, the half-back is setting himself to pass with his hands on the ball, sort of pauses after the initial movement, line moves up offside, then he throws the pass and catches them offside. Little shit.

    • Half back has a perfectly stable scrum in front of him but doesn't put the ball in, scrum starts to become unstable as defensive side get edgy so he pauses some more, ref gives him a free kick or penalty for early shove. Little shit.

    • Ball sitting at the back of the ruck. Ref calls, "still in" as there is one boot behind the ball. Half-back pauses, looks around. Ref shouts "use it". half-back pauses some more, puts his hand on the ball, pauses. Defensive side get edgy waiting to charge the box kick. Half-back pauses and looks around again. Defender topples offside, kick, penalty. Little shit.

    In summary, stop trying to protect the little shits by tweaking the laws as they will just take advantage.

    @kiwipie yeah it was pretty shit in the weekend watching guts roll the ball with their hands and even picking it up to position it better and guys being told to stay back. Then same thing happens and it's free for all. This needs to be fixed.

    It was a struggle to see much actually, with that pea-souper mist of dry powder blocking my view of the telly.
