@Plum....

Not sure if my read of you is right on this one...question.....do you believe the Boks should adopt a Lions pattern of play against the AB's?

Yes and no Denny.

If they continue to struggle to find a game plan that that they can all understand be successful with, as they have been for a few years now, then yes.

If they manage to find some kind of cohesion and it works for them then no.

Either way, they need to take ti ps from the Lions on fast recycling. That has been a huge weakness for them. And it continues to be.

The Boks have been able to get a lot of quick ball. I don't see how we are going to realistically better this other than working on ball presentation from certain carriers - Damian is one of them. It all depends on the opposition though. England contested the breakdown ferociously. That's not what game is played in the RC. If we're going to change the gameplan, I think the All Black way is where we should go. I think we have forwards to make it work.   

Faster recycling would have seen them win against Argentina. 

That was an area where they allowed Bargie into the game and it cost them.
