[QUOTE="Truth, post: 860869, member: 75226"] When Murray does run he looks dangerous and the only All Blacks only need to cast their minds to the Irish test in Chicago to remember that. IMO the All Blacks can never forget his cocky face in that game and so thats one of the reasons I think the All Blacks approach him with bad intentions like we saw yesterday. Back to the box kick, first of all, Murray probably didn't see them going forward much with their phases so out comes the box kick. With that, they did put some effective pressure on Ben Smith as he didn't catch them all. I think Ben got concussed from one of those aerial contests. I wonder if part of the the box kicks purpose was to rattle Ben because if that was the tactic, then well done Gatland. Not only did he rattle Ben but he got rid of him. I'm assuming it's Gatlands orders to box kick so maybe Murray isn't entirely to blame, I don't know. Barrett at fullback might have been worth testing in the air as I don't remember him contesting bombs much. [/QUOTE]
