Yes agree, and credit to Fox he echoed that fact on his interview.

if you shoot out of the line you have to make the tackle, if you miss it they score, Fox missed so for me he was at fault because he left a 2 man overlap

Let's hope the aussies don't target his wing next week if his positioning for the first NZ try is an indication of his defensive abilities. Solid enough other than that but hardly vintage wing play

He had to make a decision because his inside defenders had left him with 3 men to mark.

true, but he made a decision to come out and didnt take his man, other than that he did very well, cleared the line well from dummy half. cant remember him making a tackle TBH

His man didn't get the ball. He gambled and lost, but he had to gamble and the odds were long whatever he chose.

im not saying they wouldnt have scored if he hadnt shot out, they prob would have, im just saying if you make your mind up to come out of the line then you have to make the tackle or suffer. i thought he did well last night, 2 chances 2 tries and ran the ball back well all night

I thought we had a headless chicken playing on the wing for a minute when I saw the replay

There was no line! He was the lst man with three Kiwis running at him from 20 metres out. Morley not sliding quick enough and the centre jamming in when not needed caused the problems. At times we do not seem to know if we are playing a sliding defence or a man on man and that is what is causing the problems when the ball gets shifted.

He did well, his work running it up from kicks was more impressive than his tries for me.

Close the door on your way out, Tom.

He was in a damned if he did damned if he didn't situation. He was one on 3, if he'd have stayed on the wing the centre would have gone through the huge gap left by Bridge. If fox was to blame for the 1st then Briscoe was to blame for the 4 Autralian tries that came down his wing (which he wasn't).

Overall I thought fox looked a little nervy early on but once he got settled he lloked pretty good, took his tries well, took a very difficult high ball defensively and his only knock on came from being tackled before the ball got to him. Will be interesting to see how the team gets on as a whole at the weekend against a team that wont turn over the ball anything like as much as NZ did this week.
