[QUOTE="dirty harry, post: 1218908, member: 86934"] Let's be real for a second, if you are fighting for a 3rd record ***le, Frances best player and best player in the world spends half his time hanging out at the back of rucks, AND the coach decides a 7-1 is a good idea... Your 200% trying to get to Dupont and rough the living hell out of him. Noone is doing anything malicious, but the breakdown strategy is maliciously putting reckless massive men in positions to make contact with him, that's obvious. Irelands breakdown superiority is akin to NZ's of the late 2000s early 2010s, they get away with murder, so why would they change anything? There will be a game where a ref gets annoyed by it, and that superiority will stutter as they are trying to withhold themselves, and it will be a catalyst for a cohesive Ireland struggling a bit, but who knows when that will happen.
