In the last 3 games it's been shown up out wide, even when the opposition had little ball; the French only had 35% possession at Twickers and scored 2 tries to nil.Matt @ Green and Gold Rugbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01448206561040202849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319764576348149903.post-40555718939522792812007-08-20T17:42:00.000+12:002007-08-20T17:42:00.000+12:00Ferdy, I would also add that great defenses seem t...Ferdy, I would also add that great defenses seem to be the way to win hardware. Look at how the <BR/>Wallabys won the '99 World Cup with that formidable defense. It is still hard to believe that the only try scored against Australia was by the USA Eagles in that tournament(Proof that the sun can shine once on any dog's ass).Or should I say the Walla B team-Australia rested most of their studs when they beat up the US.Nursedudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841605014910203222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319764576348149903.post-85202504168996133322007-08-20T16:40:00.000+12:002007-08-20T16:40:00.000+12:00Ferdy, I would compare these games before the Worl...Ferdy, I would compare these games before the World Cup as being akin to going to fine restaurant and having the salad bar before you get your steak-the salad is not interesting, does not fulfill your needs and is delaying you from what you REALLY want. In other words, we all are waiting for the REAL games for the World Cup. These matches going on the last couple of weekends are just a way to whet our appetite.Nursedudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841605014910203222noreply@blogger.com
