[QUOTE="austingtir, post: 730935, member: 54150"] The Highlanders will clearly have a better kicking game from 9 and arguably 10 (sopoaga has more variations in his kicking game than Barrett but they probably are both hit and miss in accuracy). The Highlanders need to persist with a similar kicking game to the waratahs game and I really think it will work with a solid defence backing it up when required. I would like to see most kicks go directly out though if NMS, Jane and Savea are on the field. I really dont think the Canes will cope with an accurate field position kicking game and a defensive line that locks them down in their half (easier said than done). But thats clearly the way to beat these guys. The conditions will make a big difference to this as well, it was dewy in Syndey so if its anything like that it will give the Highlanders a massive advantage for this type of game plan. If Janes not playing (I think he will be) they should spam bombs aswell. But even if he is it should work better than it did against the Tahs most likely. [/QUOTE]
