[QUOTE="saulan, post: 1194285, member: 60236"] Great performance by NZ. Horrendous performance by Argentina. Three things they are doing terribly: One is pure securing of the ball at the breakdown (and generally the scrumhalf making poor decisions). Two is the scrums, almost a guaranteed penalty for NZ. Third and I think crucially, being afraid of contact. Every player is stepping to the left or right with no momentum when they receive the ball, trying to spot a gap they can run into. It’s a wet game, that’s a guaranteed way to get smashed back. You need to be running in with momentum to get across the gainline in the wet. [/QUOTE]
