One of the definitions of insanity is said to be repeating the same process but expecting different results. With that in mind, can someone please explain why the Wallabies, on their way to losing nine of their own line-outs did not try anything different?
Where were the two and three man line-outs?
Take the opposition out of their comfort zone and ensure all you have to do is get in front of them to win your own ball.
Having played a lot of rugby, albeit in a much lower standard, we always had several options available to us if our original line-out plans failed.
Now that the ELVs with unlimited numbers is dead, why hasn’t anyone brought back the short line-out?
They are useful, if for nothing else but to change things up.
Surely winning your own ball and giving it to a cluttered, forward filled backline is better than losing it all together.
