      Hopefully Pivac will see the error of his ways by dropping Tompkins. Excellent.

      Great final pass from Sheedy

                    Frustrating half

                    Georgia could easily be only 3 pts back

                    Wales 10 - 0 Georgia
                    Halftime

                      Georgia have more Villi's and Nadze's than the All Blacks have Barrett's.

                            Some of the Georgia players look pretty classy, others a bit average.

                            Their no.8 looks seriously good.

                                    If the NZR are serious about winning the next RWC, I suggest they empty their bank account and hire Mitchell. Watching the English defend compared to how we defend is pretty depressing, we look like a bunch of amateurs under McLeod.

                                      It really needs a sea change. It's obvious the type of defence pretty much everyone else is doing works, our passive and scramble worked too, BUT doesn't pressure the opposition team enough to give us either dominance or turn over balls (which our attack is based around)

                                        Agree. I feel that our defence is too concerned with being in a pattern to counter attack. That did work for us and play to a strength in interactive instructed attacking that other teams couldn't handle, but those days are gone against the stronger teams. They have learned to keep hold of the ball and be conservative. Keep bashing us and making small gains until we make an error or get shuffled too much.
                                        We won't change though while teams aren't putting big scores up because we still think that we can outscore them. When they shut us down with their defence as well, then we get in trouble.

                                          It really needs a sea change. It's obvious the type of defence pretty much everyone else is doing works, our passive and scramble worked too, BUT doesn't pressure the opposition team enough to give us either dominance or turn over balls (which our attack is based around)

                                          Agree. I feel that our defence is too concerned with being in a pattern to counter attack. That did work for us and play to a strength in interactive instructed attacking that other teams couldn't handle, but those days are gone against the stronger teams. They have learned to keep hold of the ball and be conservative. Keep bashing us and making small gains until we make an error or get shuffled too much.
                                          We won't change though while teams aren't putting big scores up because we still think that we can outscore them. When they shut us down with their defence as well, then we get in trouble.

                                          I think exactly that. That's why we don't rush, keep our line and a bit of depth but we aren't getting as many turnovers and as a consequence aren't scoring as many points.
