[QUOTE="Jack Reacher, post: 692827, member: 70405"] I sound like a broken record to my mates of late with my winning formula theory - but again its proven. Yes NZ looked rough and made errors for 70 minutes but they still kept the opposition out too - thats the difference. The risk taking is so much lower during the first hour of games now than it used to be - hence less tries early on, but also less conceded points too. Not for one minute was I nervous on Saturday, it was always going to happen. NZ will always score at least 3 tries a match and to compete you need to do the same, you can't rely on penalties to win (albeit with current goal kicking woes!) I would love to see the stats for points for and against during the last 15-20 minutes of matches subtracting last minute consolation tries (England have scored a few this year) to show how dominant NZ really are at this facet.
