How do you beat the rush defence then?

Same way you do in Lions 1 - attack the space just aroudn teh 10, angled runs, and very good hands. The rush leaves space behind - you have to be really accurate to make it work, but if you can hold a pass for a heartbeat, you can create some quality space

Yep, and this is my point. Picking really quick guy at 13 isn't really a tactical innovation to beat the rush defence, hence my comment about it speaking to poor coaching.

BOD never scorched big intercepts or trampled Mauger, McCallister, McDonald or Mils. Give me Mortlock any day.

@MN5 Leon MacDonald? I'd guess you are referring to a burger in midfield but I only remember him as a loose forward. For the Boks anyway.

Its ironic to anyone who knows me that predictive text failed this of all possible names
