Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 2682176, member: 2290"] I wonder if our poor line speed, no wrestling, but great try line defence is inspired by this mentality. Let them make metres and have one or two players make the tackle. The rest of the team don't have to constantly run forward then jog back. They may get to our try line but we back ourselves to hold them out and our team has covered significantly less ground, and used less energy. The opting for 2 points if we get penalties near goal seems counter intuitive at first but if we take the tap we get 1 set in their 30 (defending on tried line. No need for them to run) and have a small chance to get a try or repeat set. If we kick, we get 2 points and a set from our own half. Each tackle the opposition runs 5 metres forward and 10 metres back. That's at least another 75m (5 tackles) plus the kick off chase and kick return. Maybe I'm over analysing but it would be interesting to know how much ground each our team covers in total (on the ball + off the ball) compared to our opponents. [/QUOTE]
