I want to join you in that. Here we have a team with some real potential 0 who plays as individuals. The forwards are standing around in the backline buggering up backline play and their top names - De Villiers and Vermeulen had the worst games of the lot. They were last week beaten by Boland and I can now understand why it happened.
If I have toi rate the players today - it would look like this:
Aplon 5/10
De Allende 6/10
Van der Spuy 3/10
De Villiers 3,5/10
Van Wyk 3/10
Catrakillis 4/10
Schreuder 2/10
Vermeulen 4/10
The forwards 3,5/10

I wrote last year that they have some very food youngsters in their team and that they might do better than expected.
I do think they would try to keep up their performances against all teams - but a person cannot judge them on their latest two performances. The Cheetahs should never have lost against them and the Stormers are piss poor - sad to say.
The Stormers will be debated endlessly over the next few weeks- but my impression is that Coetzee is clueeless and comes up with rubbish in his team selection.
However, I do not think that the Lions will beat foreign teams.
