I think there are massive problems with your style of play. Now I'm not going to say you need to play more attacking rugby. That is how we play in New Zealand and it works well for us. You guys prefer to kick all day. Neither style is better or worse than any other as long as it is well executed. The problem is that you guys are stuck in your ways. Their are times when you shouldn't kick but it seems so ingrained that you do it anyway. Watch the last 20 minutes of either test against us. You guys are behind but there are plenty of terrible kicks when you should actually run the ball. Or when Dagg was yellow carded, you still carted the ball up in the forwards and kicked. Fine when you are winning but not when you need quick tries against 14 players.

Your kicking game is easy to defend against because it is predictable. Our wingers and fullback know where they have to be for the kick and know it is inevitably coming. For instance, in Dunedin I think it was you continually bombed Jane when he is one of the best under the high ball in world rugby. Savea went through the game barely challenged. Not only were the tactics terrible but they were poorly executed. Carter is the best first five in the world because he takes the ball to the line. Someone like Steyn was too predictable he would kick or pass. On the weekend your first fives collectively ran twice while Carter ran six times. South Africa are too predictable to beat us regularly right now. I think Australia have a better chance because of the style they play which is much harder to figure out. Carter kicked a drop goal on the weekend when for years that had no place in our rugby. There was plenty of kicking for territory too at the end. You have to mix up your style to be effective.
