Question

If you were an All Black on the field during "that day" what would you have done differently in the last 10min

Answer 1

If I was Richie McCaw I would have talked to the ref.  If my teammates saw a forward pass, I would have yelled at them to stop chasing and approached the ref.  If the ref awarded that try without the video replay, then I would have instructed my team to walk!  Why keep playing if the ref is going to made bad calls?

Answer 2

After 3-4 pick n goes to commit the opposing forwards, pass quickly to the far wing. Backs are instructed to avoid the tackle by well timed passing.

Try several up n unders. If they stand players back to catch the up n unders, their front line defence is thinner. Up n unders can be angled to further confuse the defence.

Answer 3

DROP GOAL!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

I would've been an absolute mongrel to be honest! I would've played hard smash 'em up honest rugby. The type of thing you would expect from the likes of Piri Weepu, Troy Flavell and Buck! Our boys were more worried about being composed than having some actual heart and passion. I would've died before letting the french win! Mind you, that would be of a heart attack because I wouldn't be able to keep up:P

Answer 5

I wouldn't have waited to be 50 meters far for the goal line to kick a drop goal while my team was 20 meters far for 10 minutes...

Answer 6

Ducked down to the nearest TAB and put $500 on the French.

Answer 7

tried to take the play closer to the centre of the field and kicked a drop goal OR used our suposedly superior[speedy/strong wingers]and kicked for far corner and hopefully put one of them in for a try.not kept on bashing away in ones and twos as the precious time was ticking away and we were behind on the score board.

Answer 8

Scored a try

Answer 9

Rookie, don't shoot someone down for trying, if you don't understand, read it again, go away and think about it and then come back with an answer, or just don't come back. The question made perfect sense and anyone that has an appreciation for rugby would have complete understanding of the question at hand.

But my answer to the question . . . would have tried for a drop goal, and or spun it wide a bit more and hoped like h**l one of the boys saw a gap and gunned it. I can understand why the kept driving it up the guts with the forwards though, best way to protect the ball and maintain possession.  Unfortunately it didn't work out, but got to love them for trying. And our boys are the best ones to do it.
