I seem to recall Anthony doing this in his first Test against the All Blacks. Rushing out of the line isn't necessarily smart football at Test level.
The thing is: in that second AB try he had a part in, he rushed, or rather wandered, into space - on defence - and passed Nonu as though they were ships in the night. Didn't fire a shot. Did better in Durban recently though - good lad.
Agree with Mica earlier - test matches are about building pressure to earn those things that eventually gain points - and likewise, they are also about stopping the other team doing the same.
Now and then you get a test match wherein a few brilliancies allow you to escape opponents pressure cheaply and even win the game, but they don't occur that often against good teams and seldom against the Blacks.
Then if pressure has been applied and the quality of the ball is at least as good as that of the other team you can't expect to beat them with the clumsy play the Wobs had at Eden Park, as others have mentioned.
We didn't suck opponents into the middle of the field and it's no wonder they had enough to line up patiently waiting for us to run into them out wide. Sometimes they outnumbered us, they had so few at the rucks.
Pick and drive a few times will keep them honest and so will the Reds speciality of inside balls - curiously lacking last time and partly because the runners didn't make themselves available.
