After catching up on all my league from the weekend, I had a chance to re-watch the Bledisloe.
We dropped the ball or lost possession all but once from the kick off (we were lucky in the one that we held onto). Why can’t we catch the ball any more?
This seemed to be an issue in the Super 14’s as well for the Australian teams (especially the Tah’s). Hopefully this weekend in Christchurch, we will get our mojo back in respect to kick reception.
We were automatically on the back foot, and it cost us at least 14 points, maybe more. How did we get so bad at this basic task?
