[QUOTE="Scotty, post: 993647, member: 74100"] Backs team 'hammer defence' would prevent wide balls and catch players behind the gainline (Brad Barrett in the 12 position for this) meaning forwards going round the corner would get double tackled (by likes of manu/Naiaravoro) as the backs dont need to worry about outwide as much. On the flip side the forwards would do 1 out runners running at pace hitting the smaller guys at pace. Forwards win matches, backs decide by how much, forwards win IMO but its not clear cut. Id love to see this game. My backs team (similar to BPMs im sure, few tweeks) Bastaraud (obv) Laumape Naiaravoro Van Rensburg Naholo Brad Barrett(plays 12 position in defence) Nowell(loves the breakdown aswell as tricky in attack) Cockanasiga(not the biggest i terms of carrying but can carry hard, given scrums would be uncontested packing off the base with the 7 fully ready to brake away amd tackle would be crazy, so use him for bulk and top end place. Reinach (out and out pace + he runs class support lines) Faz(loves a tackle) Watson Tuilagi Randradra Kolbe( crazy not to he can step 3 backs at once never mind forwards if manu makes space or Randradra does a crazy offload) Bauden Barrett (no brainer for me a second playmaker and can ender the line hitting gaps with rapid pace then offload) Screw it backs win :) [/QUOTE]
