[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1097728, member: 74121"] I think this is relevant. Looking at how decent the Boks were under the high ball to me suggests exposure to the URC is already having an influence on them. Whereas pre-RWC 2019 they were obsessed about kick and chase and didn't seem to have the personnel with experience of that style and looked pretty awful (I'd argue they had dialled back that strategy a bit under Rassie). If I was Aus and NZ I'd be making sure to encourage sides with a less conventional SR style (possibly the Crusaders and Brumbies?) to retain these as part of the teams identity and recruit players accordingly. There are loads of ways to win a rugby match, that is the beauty of the sport. If SR turns into 12 teams focussed on running rugby above all else then I'd be more concerned than I am (and I'm already concerned). [/QUOTE]
