[QUOTE="Kiwi_, post: 731081, member: 71618"] I agree [I]some[/I] are pointless. But the way you're talking is they're useless. Which they definitely are not, especially vs good teams with good forwards who can challenge for the ball in the breakdown, like the Waratahs. The box kick gives us a chance to challenge for the ball, which our players are confident under. There's a chance they knock it on. If they catch it, our chasers are big tacklers and can line them up and put a big tackle in and put pressure on them at the breakdown. It turns their forwards and defensive line. ^ We have constantly seen this from the Highlanders the past seasons and Smith uses it well. It won't be used as much in the AB's, but it will definitely be put to use for the same reasons I said. It's a good tactic, but sometimes I feel we could use our backline a little more, but that will be the case with the AB's, so don't worry. [/QUOTE]
