[QUOTE="Five Meters Out, post: 814469, member: 72548"] There is still "competition", but the "competition" is more upright in nature and as others have said, is over more quickly. Initially I thought that'll be the end of it for props at the breakdown, but now I think they can use there strength to make a real impact (I hope so anyway cause one of my sons is a big slow prop). Same with the "Richie McCaws". They will still arrive quickly to the breakdown and make a nuisance of themselves provided they stay on their feet. I loved the Richie MCaw/ Pocock type of tackle and up to compete, but that is now gone. That type will adapt and i feel I can as well. Does it suit the All Blacks? Quicker ball, faster game - it has too? [/QUOTE]
