[QUOTE="goodNumber10, post: 734094, member: 71068"] by people who don't understand how australia are playing. New Zealand favour a gound man like McCaw because a lot of the time they play an "in to out/drift defence" which often results in low or side tackles, that allows a player like McCaw and Pocock to get over the ball. The Waratahs, and Australia favour more of a blitz/rush defence like England - which means you don't commit to the breakdown because you're looking to create pressure and mistakes in the opposition with ball in hand, and adding men into the breakdown cuts your defenders.
