[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 856925, member: 56232"] Wales tend to love holding onto the ball for extended periods of time and go nowhere. Sides like the ABs actually kick a lot and the vast majority of their tries are off turnover or 1-3 phase ball. Beyond that they actually don't score that regularly. Statistically, kicking when you haven't got anywhere after about 5 phases is the best course of action to break up the field of play. Even if they just kick it straight back to you, there is now no longer a set defence. This relies on kicks being contested and sides able to switch to counter attack rapidly, something NH sides are nowhere near as good as NZ at. NH sides rely on structure, NZ rely on chaos. Contested kicks create chaos, possession creates structure. [/QUOTE]
