[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 591587, member: 57076"] About the speed point: I'd say just overall NZ are a quicker machine, wasn't talking about the footspeed of specific individuals like wingers. South Africa right now is a huge problem for teams because of their forwards. And creativity, I'm not criticizing SA from an artistic standpoint of course, in case that's what is potentially implied here: but I mean though they have good backs, on attack they strike in a rather linear fashion. Pass, ruck, SH move the ball - repeat, repeat, and the forwards gain good field with their strength, and then some back will find a hole at some point usually not far from the 22. My only point is, it doesn't matter if it works and they win, but they sure wouldn't suffer from some more fluid movement on attack. And I point that out on this thread particularly because it MIGHT be that all their qualities alone won't cut it against the Blacks, and I'm curious to see how their backs perform. [/QUOTE]
