Ireland vs All Blacks (2018)
-
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.

@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.

@rancid-schnitzel Both me and Willie Le Roux are in favour of this selection.

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.

Good game at the weekend - don’t know if anyone saw it...It was a struggle to see much actually, with that pea-souper mist of dry powder blocking my view of the telly.

Be careful what you wish for.
