The Silver Fern

He’s no doubt a full time rugby geek, but this is an online rugby forum so we’re all a bit guilty of that too .

Is it good take that the pop pass / offload high continuity game used to be the way the game was played down here (NZ) but isn’t so much now and the preference is for a quick ruck?

Is it deemed too risky / inaccurate?

I think the point that even a really quick ruck reduces the likelihood of scoring dramatically is a really interesting one.

Perhaps it’s like the ‘stale domination’ in football that plagued Arsene Wenger.
