[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 816229, member: 20605"] Crotty's work rate is astonishing, and did you realise he actually calls a lot of the backline moves? In particular, there were two moves in this game that he called when he saw the Argentine backline arrangement. The first one was where he ran the inward cut-back to draw the defence in, that resulted in the outside ball to Savea for his try under the sticks. The second one was where he called what appeared to be the same move. The Argentine defence were fooled into thinking it was the same move, but while they were watching for Save on the outside, they ignored Crotty taking the cut-back again, and he got the ball to score under the sticks. I think you seriously underestimate how good Crotty has been and how important he is to the way that backline functions both on attack and defence. IMO, when SBW returns, he will likely replace Fekitoa, not Crotty. [/QUOTE]
