[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 428983, member: 43400"] ... The rules are "optional" for teams aren't they - you can choose to play within them, or choose to push the boundaries ... I dont have a problem with any team pushing the boundaries, just so long as they dont moan about getting caught/the punishment. ... I guess i'm more concerned with the amount of infringements not picked up, so my beef is with the officials, not the players Hopefully they'll pick the best ones to match the oppostion they are playing - I see jane as perhaps the best under the high ball and counter attacking from the high kicks, and is probably better suited to playing against a team like South Africa, perhaps Gear(being a more physical player) would be better against South Africa too. The selectors will certainly pick the players with the highest work rate, after giving all of the contenders their opportunity ... Gear will need to up his work rate in South Africa. I think the AB's dropped off in the second half before Weepu was replaced ... I saw Weppu get caught in a counter ruck after taking time to lok around too ... I think they both played pretty well though. [B]General Comment[/B] - the game was pretty much what I expected, a home win to the AB's, I didn't expect a perfect performance from either team, as they want to peak for the World Cup. I wouldn't have expected either side to "show all of their cards" in attack either, they'll both be keeping a few cards up their sleeve for the World Cup I expect [/QUOTE]
