[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 422975, member: 24910"] While there is no doubt the the new Law interpretations may have lessened the effect of the Boks kicking game, the point still remains that they generally executed their kicks poorly in 2010. In 2009 the Boks actually scored a number of tries directly as a result of opposition errors from high kicks; this was due to the fact their kicking was generally accurate, and their chasers put huge pressure on the receiving player. Contrast this to 2010, where it seemed whenever the All Blacks (or Aussies) caught the high ball they were under no pressure what-so-ever, and they had plenty of space to launch the counter attack. While the new law interpretations didn't help the Boks kicking game plan, their poor execution of this game plan certainly didn't help either! A big difference between 2009 and 2010 was one player: Fourie du Preez.... it will be interesting to see how they go with him back running the team. [/QUOTE]
