[QUOTE="nero, post: 867858, member: 62893"] It's really not that surprising that the Canes lost. As soon as they started throwing the ball around like 12 year olds at a touch tournament I knew it was over. The problem is they never seem to have a back up plan, they are very rarely able to adjust when relentless running stops working. The All Blacks sometimes suffer from a similar ideology. This is what worries me about Perenara and Barrett. When an opposition has a disorganised defence they can run rampant, but once their attack is nullified they go into panic mode and start playing more and more loosely. Also, that the Canes lack a calming leader presence is clear. Who is their Crotty or Ben Smith in the backs telling everyone to calm the f down and play simple footy? it's not Perenara who is too busy screeching at the ref. It is very frustrating because they have so much talent, but at times throughout this season (and previous ones) they look like chooks running around with their heads cut off. Great work by the Lions who changed their gameplan and really outflanked the Canes. [/QUOTE]
