Move Giteau and JOC (James O'Connor) to 9:fishing

fixed

Between JOC (James O'Connor) and Giteau the whole backline is covered. Just pick 20 pigs and you're done

Ben Alexander on the wing, he the best finisher in Aus rugby at the moment :lmao:

Burgess would do his selection chances a lot of good if he just did everything fast (if you can't give accurate service, at least make it quick).

That requires a far more organized Tahs attack, with multiple runner options and support ready for each phase.

This year, they just haven't worked hard enough to give Burgess options quickly enough. (apart form the Bulls game)

Half the time he is struggling to find someone prepared to run the ball.

That's exactly right. I thought they were pretty much building their game plan around Burgess - a frantic pace and hard running forwards probing the fringes of the ruck. Unfortunately the rest of the team cannot step up. This should be obvious to anybody with a set of eyes ; hard to believe anybody could criticise Burgess for being too slow. His tradmark is his speed.

The Tahs' problem is the slow deliberate pace Phil Waugh insists they play at. What frustrates the shit out of supporters is that even at this sluggish snail like pace, they still struggle to execute basic skills.

I didn't say he isn't fast - just that he should do everything fast as he doesn't always (the criticism was of his service).

If there are no runners, for whatever reason, have a run (but do it straight away, and maybe not sideways) ie pass, run or kick - just do it fast (in the case of passing, at least the receiver will have more time to run back and pick it up when it goes behind or over him).

if someone has no runners, having a run isnt exactly the best plan if there isnt space for it. the sideways running has come this year as a response to what was mentioned above, to buy time to find a runner, if he isolates himself by just picking it up right away without support, he may as well be box kicking every time.
