[QUOTE="Nubiwan, post: 862101, member: 43441"] Thing is, with the full ABs team in front off him, Mackenzie (or any AB player) can essentially let loose, in the knowledge that there are sure to be 3-4 black shirts up his hole no matter what he does. He is an electric player at times but, as we saw earlier in the tour, with a mediocre side in front of him, and out of position, only human like many rugby players. You cant impress if you are starved of the ball. Some of the best scrum halves I know played behind a pack that was always going backwards. They fed off scraps and made the most of what little possession they had. Put a decent halfback or first 5 behind a decent scrum, and their job is so much easier. [/QUOTE]
