[QUOTE="Aspry, post: 595074, member: 70242"] I'm not being negative, just realistic. I know we're facing the All Blacks and that we certainly improved a little since last years, yeah I give you that. The thing is we keep making silly mistakes and bad decisions that have nothing to do with the level of our opponents. I am talking about those box kicks by Landajo (totally unnecesary and pointless) and the tons of handling errors we committed. Hernandez was awful with the ball in hands once again, I reckon he shouldn't start vs Australia next week. Also we're way too rushed when making decisions, like that attempt of drop by Sanchez in the first half, we clearly could keep playing the ball a little bit more. Offensive game you said? We almost didn't attack them. We rarely went near their ingoal. I remember only one specific moment, the score was 26-12 for the All Blacks around the 60 min of game and we have a penalty in a our favour near their ingoal (someone took down Agulla without the ball) and we kick to the sticks instead of choosing the scrum and try to score. I know that add points it's always important against this kinds of sides, but seriously sometimes we should consider attack them. If we're going to do the same thing against Australia next week we're ****ed up, simply as that. We can't expect to win a game by only forcing penalties with our scrum, not against these teams. We need to play more with our backs. I honestly don't know if we could beat most of the tier 1 teams playing like this. The end of year tour would be nice to see where are we standing right now.
