[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1095431, member: 65365"] Definitely foster and co think our strength is our skills and that we should play to our strengths. I watch quite a bit of rugby from outside NZ and I don’t think it’s true anymore that our skills are particularly better, especially at international level. It wasn’t our skills that let us down, it was the assumption that our skills were higher than they actually are. Sounds like a coach blaming the players for his game plan. And now the selections are ignoring what we really need to beat the Irish - big dudes who can get go forward ball; in the space of a week we’ve dropped tupaea, faingaanuku, taukeiaho, sowakula, and replaced them with havili, rts, coles, akira. Now let’s hope I’m wrong and that we can beat the Irish using our superior ball skills. [/QUOTE]
