[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 595139, member: 39190"] ^ I guess that's the general expectation. If we open it up to score 4 tries we are essentially playing into their hands. Only needing to win by 8+ (still a big ask mind you) would have been doable with pinning them down and collecting teh penalties while taking the odd chance. We certainly didn't help ourselves over the weekend. EDIT: something that we need to find an answer for is what to do with the upfield kick... NZ and Aus both have used this far too often and far too effectively against us; we are in their 22 applying pressure (their ball and and if we concede the slightest turn-over) and then they simply kick the ball upfield deep but not out. Now we don't seem up for a return run so we kick it out and usually within our half so all pressure gone and on us... Willie has the goods but he can't do it on his own and the guys need to be prepared and used to either return the ball in hand effectively or be dead accurate with the return kick. [/QUOTE]
