We saw the Bulls score twice with it on the weekend, and we know how effective it has been for the Boks and some of the other test sides - Argies also ran one in. Hard to defend too because you need to keep your structure in close quarters and along the first channels of defense while the attacking side can easily drift a dude wide to wait for it. We'll probably see a lot more of it in future than we have in the past.

For sure - Sacha and Manie are masters at executing the cross kick which is good for us

Not the old cross kick, which was usually executed by the wing when running out of space, back into the center of the field. Perhaps that could also work as a planned move which has drawn the defense.

Ja haven't seen that in a while.

The first time I saw the Kick Pass, if my memory serves me right, was from Stephen Larkham in a Rugby World Cup.

Sacha's accuracy with it nuts.
