So how can The Lions attack the Boks? | ANALYSIS DEEP DIVE

  • For almost two decades, one of rugby's finest coaches has been hounded by one word: "Warrenball". Now, as the Warren in question prepares for one of the biggest tests of his career, he's having to assemble a gameplan far beyond 'Warrenball' to try and beat the best team in the world. So what hint and suggestions do we have as to how the Lions might take on the Springboks, and are there any weaknesses they could exploit?

    So informative, entertaining and insightful. The effort put into this delivery would've held up a bok 5m scrum! Thx. Speculating on the various complexities of strategy - as satisfying as it may be - doesn't cover the basic challenge I believe the boks present: How to compete against their 6-2 split. i.e. How to survive 50min with the worlds' best forward pack, then survive the remainder with the world's 2nd best pack - fresh from the bench. Can't wait for the Lions tour to begin in earnest - and seeing the exciting combos... Come on bokke!!

    • @patrickmccutcheon9361
      @patrickmccutcheon9361 3 года назад

      While not as fast as the legendary Peter Stringer or his likely successor the equally diminutive Craig Casey, his speed of delivery is usually related to the quality of ball he receives. Too often recently his Irish and Munster packs have been on the back foot leaving him few options other than a slow delivery as he waits for pods to form.

      Why go to all this bother? The Saffers will already know the way the names sound, and thanks to the SA economy tanking and the quota system, we already know the names of 90% of the above. In any case, people watching from the UK will get the commentators giving them their pronunciations.
      Just the way you hashed up "Cobus" creates more problems than it solves, as you have written it to sound as "KWObus", and I doubt if "de" is ever pronounced "duh", but "der".
      Nice try, though. Hope it gave you something to do.

      Easy answer : because he can kick goals from 55 metres in the UK, so on the high veldt that's 60 at least, and will help keep the Boks honest deeper inside their half - should he ever get selected, that is. If it goes into the third test with the series still alive, expect him on the bench for the tiebreaker.

    As a South African, I find it hard that you have not received a phone call to be a Walsh couch analyst. Great videos. Love your fairness and your unbiased views. Frankly my prediction is that the Lions will win all three games because the Boks have not played any international Rugby since 2019 wc.

    This is a great analysis... I also believe that Gatland is planning on attacking the gain line using forwards in unpredictable positions and I think that the inclusion of Aki is a sign that he's prepared for a more physical and faster game in the middle of the park...
    However, the Springboks have selected what might possibly be the smallest (height & Weight) and fastest backline in their post-apartheid history.
    Usually, the centres are huge, lanky enforcers with the power and ability to split defences and carry/crash the ball through the middle, and tough enough to act as secondary forwards at breakdowns.
    Instead, they've chosen explosive runners who, for their respective clubs, are link-men aka 2nd flyhalfs, with the ability to distribute and kick to gain advantage and keep forward momentum, instead of crashing through a tackle and recycling.
    Also, their forward pack is laced with the paciest loose and tight pack across this planet. The plan is definitely dominate and win every set piece, and force mistakes through brute force to win penalties/territory.The Du Preez twins, PSDT, Kolisi, De Jager, and Kwagga are there to gain extra mileage around contact points, but the real threats are the scrumhalfs, all of who are snipers and are opportunists at the breakdown and distribute the ball with precision as they are given the duty to make the call on what play is to be run.
    I don't know if you can breakdown the Springbok's possible gameplan for the Lions given that they haven't played together for a while... But I look forward to it.

    Honestly, as much as it pains me to say this but i dont think currently SA is as big as a threat/challenge as they were in 2019. The springboks haven't really played any international rugby for almost 2 years while the lions squad have. SA is still dealing with covid terribly with around 10k cases a day. I think that places a massive adv with the lions squad and the boks will be hard pressed indeed. Dare i say it... I think the boks may be the underdogs in this tour

    • @shaunk6822
      @shaunk6822 3 года назад

      I've got the same feeling. I'm hopeful that will mean the Lions winning well in the first game, and the Boks coming back massively in the 2nd to win. Hopefully setting up a humdinger of a final match.
      About half the Bok squad have been playing outside of SA in EU tournaments - so I don't think my hope is misplaced

      I think you are right. they should be very worried. I wouldn't have been so confident, but all that talk in the Saffa media about "hobbits" and "too many Scots" mean I now longer five a fuck, the gloves are off. I'm calling a 3-0 drubbing. They won't be able to contain Russel I think.
