[QUOTE="goodNumber10, post: 741057, member: 71068"] I understand what you're trying to say but the fact is everything points to the opposite. New zealand have lost three times in the last World Cup Cycle, on each occasion the team that beat them scored three tries, not 5. The teams that beat New Zealand didn't do it playing wild running Rugby but instead by slowing the game with excellent tractical kicking, brutalising them upfront and massive defence.. England have beaten Australia twice in the last World Cup cycle, 2013 (two tries), 2014 (one try). When Wales beat South Africa they did so 3 penalties to 2. So really everything points in the opposite direction, to beat the SH teams you don't play SH rugby, you actually suffocate them.
