[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 913420, member: 40658"] All true. But the Argentine rush defence was also partly the reason why the centres didn't get good ball, it seemed like a tactic of theirs to close off Faf and Pollard, but that's also why we then reverted to a bit deeper play and kicking cross field, because the Argentine defence was so narrow that they created the space for our pacemen in the corners. Yes our handling was bad, but then again they did play in Durban and it was very hot and humid, so the handling was going to be an issue. As for Pollard, apart from his kicking at goal, he did the other things rather well, so I won't slate him over one poor performance, he's still miles better than the other FH. [/QUOTE]
