[QUOTE="Red Enigma, post: 871502, member: 75347"] [INDENT]Not sure how this game will go. The sheer speed and skill of the AB's suggest a big home win, but the Pumas will punish AB errors far better than the Aussies. They kick long - a given - and the AB's need to return the ball in hand rather than engage in a kicking game the Pumas will win. In super rugby, the 'Canes lost to the Lions by engaging in a kicking comp whereas in previous encounters they ran from the back. Hopefully the AB coaches know the Pumas well enough to know the way to flatten the oppositions tight five is to run them ragged. Sure you can try to do that by kicking - but only if you are better at that than your opponent. I'm backing the AB's for a big win subject to the final team announcement. Bring in too many recognised kickers and I might just take the points-in option when it is declared. . [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
