@gt12 maybe they could try some rush defences, at least give us more idea on breaking them down.
Crazy that the canes won their title on immense rush defended. No tries conceded in knock outs. What the fuck had happened since then?
Was Plums was in charge of defense then? They had Watt (forwards) and Holland (??)

I’m speculating about whether that might be related to coaches. Although, as the Canes looked uncoached, maybe the players are dreaming up the system on their way to the field each day.

But all the NZ super teams, and ABs, defend so passively now. It's bizarre

Blues defence has taken a step back this year too - under Tana they were much more physical and pressing (whilst admittedly also being highly penalised - but at least it was a different style).

if you're that much better then score tries, penalties are for when someone breaks the rules, not for when you force them to do something

Sure possible but it must've come from above, otherwise why did it become so pervasive. Maybe it's because we were smashing a crap SA and it will always work against Oz.
