New Zealand coach Ian Foster has revealed that he feels a couple of subtle tweaks to his squad for Saturday’s Rugby World Cup final will be enough to match South Africa’s “bomb squad” pampanga
The Springboks have loaded up on bench forward might for the showpiece Paris decider, including seven pack replacements in their 23 pampanga
The seven/one bench split was a gambit first employed in South Africa’s strong warm-up win over New Zealand at Twickenham in August, with the replacement pack brought on together and immediately win a scrum penalty pampanga
But rather than matching their opponents and including extra forwards among their bench eight, the All Blacks have kept faith with a traditional five/three combination pampanga
Coach Foster has made a couple of personnel changes among those five replacement forwards, though, with veteran lock Sam Whitelock dropped to the bench and tighthead prop Nepo Laulala brought in at Fletcher Newell’s expense pampanga

“It is certainly a response [to the Springboks’ bench],” Foster confirmed of his tweaks pampanga
“Not so much a response to the power, but more to the techniques we expect to have to deal with pampanga
“Nepo is a very strong scrummager and very experienced pampanga
He’s trained so well and has probably been disappointed that he didn’t play the last two pampanga
It is a great occasion for him pampanga
“He’s alongside Samisoni [Taukei’aho], with the likes of Sam Whitelock on the bench, we really believe and have got a lot of confidence in that group coming on pampanga
”The final should present a fascinating clash of styles, with Handre Pollard’s selection at fly half ahead of Manie Libbok another indicator of South Africa’s preference for a tighter game pampanga
That contrasts with the All Blacks’ ability to keep the ball alive and play wide, ambitious rugby pampanga
“That’s what I love about the game,” Foster said pampanga
“People play different ways and try different things pampanga
[South Africa] have got their way that they think suits their strength pampanga
“The [seven/one split] doesn’t really change anything in what we do pampanga
It doesn’t impact our game and the way we want to play it pampanga
Our strategy suits us, their strategy suits them pampanga
It makes it interesting on Saturday night pampanga

“We are the bomb squad and we knew we had to play a massive role pampanga
” If South Africa’s narrow win over England in the Rugby World Cup semi-final could be summed up in one sentence, then this proclamation from Vincent Koch after the game would probably be it pampanga
When Koch emerged from the replacements on 55 minutes to take the place of starting tighthead prop Frans Malherbe, Owen Farrell had just slotted a drop goal from downtown Paris to give England a 15-6 lead pampanga
Nine points may not seem a lot but, with the final quarter of the match beckoning and the rain and wind increasing at the Stade de France, it was a comparatively huge deficit pampanga
Throughout the first few minutes of the second half, the Springboks had more or less emptied their bench as Ox Nche, RG Snyman, Kwagga Smith, Deon Fourie, Faf de Klerk and Willie Le Roux all entered the fray to go alongside the controversial 30th-minute substitution of starting fly half Manie Libbok for Handre Pollard pampanga
With their World Cup title defence hanging by a thread, South Africa trusted their bench and got their reward pampanga
Koch and Nche splintered the previously effective English scrum, Snyman burrowed his way across the line for the game’s only try and Pollard nervelessly converted tricky kicks to complete the hardest-fought of turnarounds – 10 unanswered points, a 16-15 win and a date with the All Blacks in another World Cup final next Saturday pampanga
Of the various phrases rugby has adopted over the years to describe those players in the matchday squad but not in the starting line-up – from the traditional “replacements” and the pampanga football-ised “substitutes” through to the Eddie Jones-preferred ‘finishers’, the slightly patronising “impact players” and the frankly ludicrous “game-changers” adopted by Harlequins during the Paul Gustard era – none has captured the imagination quite like South Africa’s “bomb squad” pampanga
It doesn’t matter if you think it’s a slightly self-serving and faintly ridiculous term, the players fully buy into the ethos of what it stands for pampanga
The intensity and physicality that generation after generation of Springbok has prided themselves on is summed up by this two-word mantra pampanga
“Each person knows exactly his role in the team, whether you’re starting or in the bomb squad,” explained Koch pampanga
“When we created the bomb squad, we knew exactly what our job is pampanga
The starters start the whole process and it’s for us to come and finish it pampanga
“All the players on the bomb squad are very excited to make a massive difference in the game pampanga
”Vincent Koch celebrated RG Snyman’s try as the bomb squad thrived (AFP via Getty Images)And against England, when the chips were down, they realised they needed to step up more than ever pampanga
“The bomb squad always stands for energy,” added Koch pampanga
“We needed to create a nice vibe pampanga
Putting the replacements on a bit earlier helped the boys to start to bring that energy and lift up the spirit and bring a massive work-rate pampanga
”Where South Africa’s replacements thrived, perhaps England’s faltered just a touch pampanga
The English gameplan, devised by Steve Borthwick and perfectly executed by the players for the windy and rainy Parisian conditions, relied upon relentless kicking, winning the subsequent aerial battle, slowing the game down and dominating the set-piece pampanga
Maybe then, they could escape with a win against an objectively superior team pampanga
They kicked 93 per cent of possession away (the highest percentage of the tournament), had an average ruck speed of 6 pampanga
73s (the slowest of the tournament) and had zero linebreaks (the only team to do so in a game at this tournament) pampanga
They disrupted South African lineouts, turned over multiple mauls and Borthwick’s decision to play his two strongest scrummaging props – Dan Cole and Joe Marler – from the start earned them scrum parity and redemption from the disaster in that facet during the 2019 World Cup final pampanga
Ox Nche was immense from the bench against the Springboks (EPA)This is a Springboks side that pride themselves on their dominance up front, as shown by opting for a scrum after calling a mark in their own 22 during the quarter-final victory over France pampanga
Of course, they won a penalty from it pampanga
Yet England were holding their own during those engagements, even thriving, and most importantly winning on the scoreboard pampanga
But the innate problem with starting your best scrummagers came to fruition in the second half pampanga
Replacement props Ellis Genge and Kyle Sinckler are far more dynamic around the park and more destructive carriers than their veteran counterparts but, with England showing no desire to run any plays more than two metres either side of the previous breakdown, those skills were negated once they came on for Marler and Cole pampanga
Instead, their inferior scrummaging was brutally exposed by a fired-up Koch and Nche, who turned parity into Springbok dominance pampanga
They won two scrums against the head, including a vital one at 15-6 down on their own line, and engineered multiple penalties on their own feed, including the most vital of all – on halfway, with 77 minutes on the clock and England leading 15-13 pampanga
Pollard banged over the long kick and the rest was history pampanga
Handre Pollard broke English hearts with his late penalty (PA Wire)Nche was coy when asked in the mixed zone after the game what had made the difference at scrum-time in the final quarter and how he bested his opposite number, Sinckler pampanga
“That is the dark arts,” he smiled pampanga
“It is hard to explain to you pampanga
We had a plan for that pampanga
We knew what we were trying to achieve pampanga
“They have had a great scrum for the competition and a great hit pampanga
Our focus was surviving that and applying pressure pampanga
Our mentality for every scrum is to get a penalty if we can pampanga
If they do survive, we play out the back and get into our shape pampanga
”The “dark arts” ultimately won the day, South Africa survived a second straight one-point knockout match and must now plan how to overcome the All Blacks in a battle to be the first side to win four men’s Rugby World Cups pampanga
Luckily, they have a not-so-secret weapon pampanga
“We are the bomb squad pampanga
