[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 817219, member: 20605"] I agree to a certain extent, [url]https://youtu.be/4f_FqkHgUGw?t=964[/url] A couple of things to note. 1. Sopoaga is standing quite a long way from the scrum. Perenara has a very long & flat pass, second only to Aaron Smith; when the 10 stands that far away when the scrum is so close to the line, it is very difficult to defend. 2. If you look at where Faff DeClerk is positioned he is a long way from the scrum. He has a quick glance at Sopoaga, but IMO he's trying hedge his bets, to cover both a run by Perenara and a pass to Sopaga. Its the old story, a person who chases two rabbits catches neither. For mine, this is about trusting your team-mates to do their own jobs. DeClerk should have stayed closer tot he scrum to defend the possible Perenara run, and let Steyn defend Sopoaga. [/QUOTE]
