Jess Breach scores hat-trick as England sweep past New Zealand

I want to remove the knock on, it creates too much mess and whats the point? Only the deliberate knock on/intercept like, law remains, think the game would ever accept that lol

I think they have always preferred to give their opponents a chance to run the ball back at them, yes. What is being see is that it's not successful these days (mostly because other teams are much more confident playing like NZ these days), and the kick chase is being critised as inaccurate. I'm not buying that, at least not yet. Beauden certainly didn't achieve anything better did he?

Yeah, interesting. I'm not really sure what number best reflects what I like, but on review I do see the number increasing for runs. The games they were in control, England series and the first SA test, they were 1:6 or under. The game at Eden Park in the pouring rain they showed the ability to control the game by foot at 1:4 (1:8, like you say, the previous week).

Really interesting. I'm not going to even begin to give a cause for that, they weren't behind in the Eden Park loss, but only had 4 22 entries. They may have lost structure towards the end but it could also have just been the change at 9 to Ratima that changed the kicking dynamic game to game.

I've heard a few grand but obviously that could be in anything. Yeah I think they'd give a quote based on what you use it for?

With his kick-pass stats, in pressure games like v SA they are higher (1:8+). If you compare it to SA, their flyhalves are much lower than that, so they are playing more pragmatic rugby.

With goal kicking, I dont know if hes come to terms with shot clock pressure yet.

Timing out on goal kicks is not really a 😎 look but his attacking skills are so he has to be in there somewhere, the big question is in what role?

How much does Opta cost? Its difficult to find info on their site

Its sad that about 70% of the professional rugby in nz is only played in the cities when rugby is loved in the provinces.

You also see in the NPC players from the grassroot clubs get a run around rather than just the out of school recruits. I don't why we only recruit from schools for super rugby, club rugby can be more intense and high pressure than some of the school games and should be a pathway to professional rugby too
