    So why aren't they using this tactic more? With the 50: 22 rule there's even more reason to do so.
    Not a big fan of the contestable kick

    Exactly. We need to do more scissors too, they work great against 80s defences. We should also highlight to the ref that the opposition are lifting their lineout jumpers, that's fucking illegal.

          A couple of others have commented - our chase was massively improved last night, with the biggest improver being Jordan. His workrate and kick chase was on a completely different level to the disinterested dross he was serving up prior to this year.

              The number of times Nesbitt calls any Books backline player with dark skin "Mapimpi" is utterly embarrassing.

                To be fair it wasn't just the saffa players. I recall him calling Rieko as Richie at least once

                    @NTA Every fucken time Willemse got it, he called him Mapimpi. The only similarity is skin tone. Mapimpi is fucking bald!

                          I see them as idiots like us Ferners but who have decide to switch a camera on and talk rather than rant away in threads. In saying that, if YT existed in my early 20s when I was an uber rugbyhead I probably would have done a channel myself.

                              Re the exits thing in general.

                              I reckon we saw one of the issues with RWC cycles here.

                              I reckon they were adopting a strategy for this game of utilising those up and unders inside their own territory.

                              I recall watching a match a year or more (and more) ago, and Rod Kafer talking about that tactic that England were using, to bomb it to about 40m out, get a chaser to jump into the catching zone to disrupt, and even knock the ball on. Worst case result: scrum to opposition. (Well, actual worst case is their possession). Was a good exit tactic.

                              Bokke did exactly this to us couple of years ago.

                              But what I mean about the World Cup cycle is I think we were seeing testing of a specific tactic. One that we can use on occasion.

                              Whilst it smacks of dry powder I think it's a thing.

                              Like 2011 where it was obvious different tactics were used in the tests before the RWC.

                              Another thing that they seemed to do a bit was the pick and go through the ruck: where dude looked to be a cleaner, then picks ball at his feet. Suspect tactic to drag the D in closer. Noticed it several times. Not something I've seen us do much of.

                                  Just watching again and I reckon Faf was lucky that he didn’t get a yellow card for what was in my view a deliberate knock down. He just jumped into the pass and put his hands and feet out. You don’t “catch “ an intercept like that.

                                    @ACT-Crusader would've been interesting to see what the assessment of Jordan's game would be if he'd given away an intercept try.

                                      Pissed that they didn’t name check @Victor-Meldrew as In the Shed’s biggest fan.

                                        Just watching again and I reckon Faf was lucky that he didn’t get a yellow card for what was in my view a deliberate knock down. He just jumped into the pass and put his hands and feet out. You don’t “catch “ an intercept like that.

                                        As an aside, did you notice how quiet Faf was? Kept well under control by our loosies.

                                          Just getting around to this now

                                          The number of times Nesbitt calls any Books backline player with dark skin "Mapimpi" is utterly embarrassing.

                                          To be fair it wasn't just the saffa players. I recall him calling Rieko as Richie at least once

                                          The commentary on the Japan AB XV game was way better.
