@daffy-jaffy kicking the ball too much is All Blacks style now
We have been kicking the ball a lot for some years now. Just the reasons why have changed.
Previously it was to back our defence to create a turnover/spilled ball, then use our transition to attack to smash an unorganised defence. (opposition have now realised that they just need to work on ball security and not do much after this and they will win the possession and territory stats)
Now it is to try and break up the rush/flat defence. If you can keep putting the ball into contestable areas the defence has to keep reorganising to get behind it and are more wary of committing too hard. Trick is to make those kicks/stabs to space 50/50 contests at worst.@crucial said in 2018 November Internationals:

not only that, the accuracy of the kick isnt there, nor is the chase, even from Bender who was always so good at the chase, so the tactic appears to be kick away and trust defence, rather than kick, contest and then defend if we dont get it back.

Jeez, some of the Argies were bad-tempered. Great stuff :smiling_face_with_horns:
Creevy, in particular, was quite fun to watch......
