[QUOTE="Black Heart, post: 437812, member: 44806"] I think you're trying to draw parallels between two systems that are actually quite different. The difference between that display and the type of rugby the South Africa's adopt is that the All Blacks were simply usuing it to stabalise themselves to give their backline a secure platform to launch from (which is arguably what they should be doing anyway). We know the All Blacks backline is their strength and it's deadly if it gains momentum. The Wallabies did significantly well to shut down that threat so because the fowards stabalised the game well enough the backline was given the option to unleash effectively and as a result the All Blacks scored tries. For a time at least, the backs gained that significant momentum. The South African's use the 8-man tactic to try and drain the opposition and score points from mistakes. It's quite different. All-in-all, two similar looking beats but very different monsters. [/QUOTE]
