Thats a gameplan - its called, run at the little guy who cant tackle.
And yeah, Foran makes a big difference - he can bring down big forwards one on one and that helps not just physically, it helps build the team mentally. Defense is very much about trust and communication. You have that and you all work together and that makes a massive difference. Foran and Scott are rubbing off on all the others - everyone then lifts their defensive effort a bit and you suddenly have a brick wall.
And i agree - pou knows plenty - he's just a bit overkeen to play devils advocate and people seem to strongly take offence
